Question:

Calculate the values of Operating Surplus and Gross Domestic Product at Market Price (GDPMP) from the following data :

S. No.ParticularsAmount (in ₹ crore)
(i)Rent120
(ii)Profits200
(iii)Domestic Income720
(iv)Mixed Income70
(v)Wages and Salaries300
(vi)Indirect Taxes150
(vii)Subsidies50
(viii)Consumption of fixed capital200
(ix)Interest30
(x)Dividend120
(xi)Net factor income from abroad20

Show Hint

Operating Surplus = Rent + Profits + Interest = 120 + 200 + 30 = Rs. 350 crore. GDP at market price = Domestic Income + CFC + (Indirect taxes - Subsidies) = 720 + 200 + 100 = Rs. 1,020 crore.

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Operating Surplus is the part of domestic factor income earned by the owners of land, capital and enterprise. It is rent + profits + interest.
GDP at market price is found from Domestic Income (NDP at factor cost) by adding depreciation (consumption of fixed capital) and net indirect taxes.

Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
1. Operating Surplus = Rent + Profits + Interest.
2. \( GDP_{MP} \) = Domestic Income + Consumption of fixed capital + (Indirect taxes - Subsidies).

Step 3: Choose the right items from the table.
Operating Surplus uses items (i) Rent = 120, (ii) Profits = 200 and (ix) Interest = 30.
Dividend is a part of profits, so it is not added again. Mixed income and wages are separate parts of domestic income.

Step 4: Calculate Operating Surplus.
\[ \text{Operating Surplus} = 120 + 200 + 30 = 350 \]
So Operating Surplus is Rs. 350 crore.

Step 5: Calculate GDP at market price.
Domestic Income = 720, Consumption of fixed capital = 200, Indirect taxes = 150, Subsidies = 50.
Net indirect taxes = 150 - 50 = 100.
\[ GDP_{MP} = 720 + 200 + (150 - 50) = 720 + 200 + 100 = 1{,}020 \]

Step 6: Check with the other side.
Wages and salaries 300 + Operating Surplus 350 + Mixed income 70 = 720, which equals the given Domestic Income. So the figures are consistent.
Net factor income from abroad (20) is not needed, because it belongs to national income and not to domestic product.

Final Answer:
Operating Surplus = Rs. 350 crore and GDP at market price = Rs. 1,020 crore. \[ \boxed{\text{OS} = 350 \text{ crore}, \; GDP_{MP} = 1{,}020 \text{ crore}} \]
