Solution
M.P. of an article = Rs. 5000
Marked price of an article Rs. 5,000
Sale price for manufacturer Rs. 5,000 25% of Rs. 5,000
`= "Rs" 5000 - 25/100 xx "Rs" 5000`
`"Rs" 5000 - "Rs" 1250`
= Rs 3750
Tax paid by wholesaler 8% of Rs. 3,750
`= 8/100 xx 3750`
= Rs 300
Sale price for wholesaler 5,000 15% of Rs. 5,000
`= "Rs" 5000 - 15/100 xx "Rs" 5000`
= Rs 5000 - Rs 750
= Rs 4250
Tax paid by retailer 8% of Rs. 4,250
`= 8/100 xx 4250`
Rs 340
Sale price for retailer = Rs 5000
Tax paid by customer = 8% of Rs 5000
`= 8/100 xx 5000`
= Rs 400
VAT paid by wholesaler Rs. 340 - Rs. 300 = Rs. 40
VAT paid by retailer Rs. 400 - Rs. 340 = Rs. 60
