Correct Answer: INR 900,000


Solution : The correct answer is  (c) INR 900,000

Total value of goods produced: INR 2,000,000

Intermediate consumption: INR 800,000

Wages: INR 500,000

Profits: INR 300,000

Indirect taxes: INR 200,000

To calculate the value added, we can use the formula:

Value added = Total value of goods produced - Intermediate consumption - Wages - Indirect taxes + Profits

Value added = INR 2,000,000 - INR 800,000 - INR 500,000 - INR 200,000 + INR 300,000

Value added = INR 900,000

Therefore, the value added by the company is INR 900,000.
