Solution
For Silk Sarees :
Tax on purchase = 12 % of Rs 5,00,000
=`12/100 xx "Rs" 500000`
= Rs 60000
Cost of total Sarees sold = cost of Sarees sold - cost of defective Sarees
=Rs ( 12,00,000 - 40,000)
= Rs 11,60,000
Tax on sale= 12 % of Rs 11,60,000
=`12/100 xx "Rs" 1160000`
= Rs 139200
Total tax on Silk Sarees =Rs ( 1,39,200 - 60,000) =Rs 79,200
For Cotton Sarees:
Tax on purchase = 5 % of Rs 8,00,000
=`5/100 xx "Rs" 8100000 = "Rs" 40,000`
Cost of total Sarees sold = cost of Sarees sold - cost of defective Sarees
= Rs ( 16,00,000 - 60,000)
= Rs 15,40,000
Tax on sale = 5 % of Rs 15,40,000
=`5/100 xx "Rs" 1540000`
= Rs 77000
Total tax on Cotton Sarees =Rs (77,000 - 40,000) =Rs 37,000
For Handloom Sarees:
They are exempted from tax. Hence, tax =Rs 0.
Total Tax paid by the firm in the given period =Total tax on silk Sarees +total tax on cotton Sarees
=Rs ( 79,200 + 37,000)
Total tax paid =Rs 1,16,200
