Solution

The correct option is C
Rs. 990

We have,

Amount of tax collected by the manufactures X = $4 %$ of Rs. 22500

= Rs. $(4 \times \frac{22500}{100})$ = Rs. 900.

Since the trader Y earns a profit of Rs. 1250.

So, the value added by the trader Y = Rs. 1250.

Amount of VAT to be paid by trader Y = 4% of Rs. 1250

= Rs. $(\frac{4}{100} \times 1250)$ = Rs. 50

The trader Z earns a profit of Rs.1000. So, the value added by the trader Z = Rs. 1000

So, Amount of VAT to be paid by trader Z = $4 %$ of Rs. 1000 = Rs. 40.

Hence, total amount of tax (under VAT) received by government = Rs. 900 + Rs. 50 + Rs. 40 = Rs. 990.
