Calculate the value of operating surplus from following:

Wages and Salaries Rs 2,000

Rent Rs 1,000

Interest Rs 500

Employers contribution in social security scheme Rs 200

Royalty Rs 300

Profits Rs 200

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 4: Rs 2,000 -> Operating Surplus represents the income that remains with producers after paying compensation to employees. It includes Rent (Rs 1,000) + Interest (Rs 500) + Royalty (Rs 300) + Profits (Rs 200) = Rs 2,000. Note that Wages & Salaries (Rs 2,000) and Employer's contribution to social security (Rs 200) are part of Compensation of Employees, which is NOT included in Operating Surplus. -> correct
