Question : In a particular year, the national income is INR 10,000 crore. The compensation of employees is INR 4,000 crore, rent is INR 1,000 crore, royalty is INR 500 crore, corporate tax is INR 800 crore, and dividend is INR 200 crore. What is the operating surplus in this case?
Option 1: INR 3,500 crore
Option 2: INR 4,000 crore
Option 3: INR 4,500 crore
Option 4: INR 5,000 crore
Correct Answer: INR 4,500 crore
Solution : The correct answer is (C) INR 4,500 crore
To calculate the operating surplus, we need to subtract the compensation of employees, rent, and royalty from the national income.
National income = INR 10,000 crore
Compensation of employees = INR 4,000 crore
Rent = INR 1,000 crore
Royalty = INR 500 crore
Operating surplus = National income - Compensation of employees - Rent - Royalty
Operating surplus = INR 10,000 crore - INR 4,000 crore - INR 1,000 crore - INR 500 crore
Operating surplus = INR 4,500 crore
Therefore, the operating surplus in this case is INR 4,500 crore.
