A firm produces Rs 1000 worth of goods per year. Rs 200 is the value of intermediate goods used by it during the year and Rs 100 is the value of capital consumption. What is the net value of total production?
Solution
Option 1 -> This represents only the gross output without deducting intermediate goods or depreciation.
Option 2 -> This accounts for only the capital consumption but ignores the intermediate goods used.
Option 3 -> This correctly deducts both intermediate goods (Rs 200) and capital consumption (Rs 100) from gross output (Rs 1000).
Option 4 -> This represents only the capital consumption value, not the net production value.
Hence, Option 3: Rs 700 per year -> Net value of total production = Gross output - Intermediate goods - Capital consumption = Rs 1000 - Rs 200 - Rs 100 = Rs 700. This represents the actual value addition by the firm after accounting for inputs used and depreciation of capital assets. -> correct
