Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation


The phrase at factor cost is to be contrasted with the phrase at market prices.

Goods produced are sold at market prices which include the indirect taxes imposed by the Government. Indirect taxes are levied on commodities, such as excise duty on beer and cloth, etc.

Thus, the market value of the national product exceeds the income paid to the factors of production by the amount of indirect taxes. Hence, net national income at factor cost shows the income actually received by the factors of production.

On the other hand, a subsidy causes the market price to be less than the factor cost. The subsidy is an aid in money.

.’. NNI at Factor Cost = NNPat MP plus Subsidies minus Indirect Taxes.
