Solution

Value Added by Firm = Sales Purchase of intermediate goods
(i) Value added by firm A=Rs.1,000+Rs.500=Rs.1,500;
Value added by firm B=Rs.(800+700)Rs.1,000=Rs.500;
Value added by firm C=Rs.(1,000+500)Rs.800=Rs.700.

Total value of output = Sales of firm A + Sales of Firm B + Sales of Firm C
(ii) Total value of output =Rs.(1,500+1,500+1,500)=Rs.4,500.
