Solution

The correct option is D 1,400

At each stage of sale of the machine, there is an inter-state transaction. So, the rate of GST on each transaction of machine is 28%.

For the Manufacturer :

Marked Price = ₹50,000

Discount = 20% of ₹50,000.

Selling Price
= Marked Price - Discount

= ₹50,000 - 20% of ₹50,000

= 50,000 - 10,000

= ₹40,000

For the Wholesaler :

Cost Price = ₹40,000

Discount = 10% of Marked Price i.e. ₹50,000 = ₹5,000

Selling Price
= Marked Price - Discount

= 50,000 - 5,000

= ₹45,000

∴ Tax paid by the wholesaler to the Central Government
= Output tax − Input tax

= Tax on Selling Price - Tax on Cost Price

= 28% of ₹45,000 - 28% of ₹40,000

=(28100)×5000

= ₹1,400
