Arati Gas Agency supplied LPG cylinder to the consumer for taxable value of Rs.545. GST charged is 5%. What is the amount of CGST and SGST in the tax invoice ? What is the total amount paid by the consumer ? Find the amount of GST to be paid by Arati Gas Agency.

Answer»

Rate of GST = 5% 

Rate of CGST 2.5%, and Rate of SGST = 2.5%. 

CGST = 2.5/100 x 545 = 13.625 = Rs.13.63 

SGST = CGST = Rs.13.63 

Amount paid by the consumer = Taxable value + CGST + SGST 

= 545 + 13.63 + 13.63 

= 572.26

 Arati Gas Agency has to pay CGST = Rs.13.63. and SGST = Rs.13.63 

Total GST to be paid = 13.63 x 2 = Rs.27.26.

Amount of CGST and SGST charged by the shopkeeper in Vasai. iii. What is the CGST and SGST payable by shopkeeper in Vasai at the time of filing the return.

Answer»

i. For Anna Patil:

Output tax = 28% of 14,000

= 18/100 × 14000

= Rs. 3920

∴ CGST = SGST = GST/2

= 3920/2

= Rs. 1960

∴ Amount of CGST and SGST shown in the tax invoice issued by Anna Patil is Rs. 1960 each.

ii. For Shopkeeper in Vasai:

Output tax = 28% of 16,800

= 28/100 × 16,800

= Rs. 4704

∴ CGST = SGST = GST/2

= 4704/2

= Rs. 2352

∴ Amount of CGST and SGST charged by the shopkeeper in Vasai is Rs. 2352 each.

iii. ITC = Rs. 3920

GST payable by shopkeeper in Vasai

= Output tax – ITC

= 4704 – 3920 

= Rs. 784

∴ CGST = SGST = GST payable/2

= 784/2

= Rs. 392

∴ CGST and SGST payable by shopkeeper in Vasai at the time of filing the return is Rs. 392 each.

Answer»

i. For Anna Patil: 

Output tax = 28% of 14,000 

= (18/100) × 14000 

= Rs. 3920

∴ CGST = SGST = GST/2

= 3920/2

= Rs.1960 

∴ Amount of CGST and SGST shown in the tax invoice issued by Anna Patil is Rs.1960 each. 

ii. For Shopkeeper in Vasai: 

Output tax = 28% of 16,800 

= (28/100)× 16,800 

= Rs.4704 

∴ CGST = SGST = GST/2

= 4704/2

= Rs.2352 

∴ Amount of CGST and SGST charged by the shopkeeper in Vasai is Rs.2352 each. 

iii. ITC = Rs.3920 

GST payable by shopkeeper in Vasai 

= Output tax – ITC

Malik Gas Agency (Chandigarh Union Territory) purchased some gas cylinders for industrial use for Rs. 24,500, and sold them to the local customers for Rs. 26,500. Find the GST to be paid at the rate of 5% and hence the CGST and UTGST to be paid for this transaction, (for Union Territories there is UTGST instead of SGST.)

Answer»

For Malik Gas Agency:

Output tax = 5% of 26500

= 5/100 × 26500

= Rs. 1325

Input tax = 5% of 24500

= 5/100 × 24500

= Rs. 1225

ITC for Malik Gas Agency = Rs. 1225. 

∴ GST payable = Output tax – ITC 

= 1325 – 1225 

= Rs. 100

CGST = UTGST = \(\frac{\text{GST payable}}{2} = \frac{100}{2}\)

∴ CGST = UTGST = Rs. 50

∴ The GST to be paid at the rate of 5% is Rs. 100 and hence, CGST and UTGST paid for the transaction is Rs. 50 each.

5.

Answer»

Output tax = Rs. 14,750 

Input tax = Rs. 12,500 

∴ ITC for Nazama = Rs. 12,500. 

∴ GST payable = Output tax – ITC 

= 14750 – 12500 

= Rs. 2250 

∴ Amount of ITC to be claimed is Rs. 12,500 and amount of GST payable is Rs. 2250.

6.

Answer»

Output tax = Rs. 14,750 

Input tax = Rs.12,500 

∴ ITC for Nazama = Rs.12,500. 

∴ GST payable = Output tax – ITC 

= 14750 – 12500 

= Rs.2250 

∴ Amount of ITC to be claimed is Rs.12,500 and amount of GST payable is Rs.2250.

‘Chetana Store’ paid total GST of Rs. 1,00,500 at the time of purchase and collected GST Rs. 1,22,500 at the time of sale during 1st of July 2017 to 31 July 2017. Find the GST payable by Chetana Stores.

Answer»

Output tax (Tax collected at the time of sale) 

= Rs. 1,22,500 

Input tax (Tax paid at the time of purchase) 

= Rs.1,00,500 

ITC (Input Tax credit) = Rs.1,00,500. 

GST payable = Output tax – ITC

= 1,22,500 – 1,00,500 

= Rs. 22,000

GST payable by Chetana stores is Rs. 22,000.

‘M/s. Real Paint’ sold 2 tins of lustre paint and taxable value of each tin is Rs. 2800. If the rate of GST is 28%, then find the amount of CGST and SGST charged in the tax invoice.

Answer»

Taxable value of 1 tin = Rs. 2800 

∴ Taxable value of 2 tins = 2 × 2800 = Rs. 5600 

Rate of GST = 28 % 

∴ Rate of CGST = Rate of SGST = 14 % CGST = 14% of taxable value 14 

= 14/100 × 5600 .

∴ CGST = Rs. 784

∴ SGST = CGST = Rs. 784 

∴ The amount of CGST and SGST charged in the tax invoice is RS. 784 each.

A dealer has given 10% discount on a showpiece of Rs. 25,000. GST of 28% was charged on the discounted price. Find the total amount shown in the tax invoice. What is the amount of CGST and SGST

Answer»

Printed price of showpiece = Rs. 25,000, Rate of discount = 10% 

∴ Amount of discount = 10% of printed price 

= 10/100 × 25000 

= Rs. 2500 

∴ Taxable value = Printed price – discount 

= 25,000 – 2500 = Rs. 22,500 

Rate of GST = 28%

∴ Rate of CGST = 14% and 

Rate of SGST = 14% 

CGST = 14% of taxable value 

= 14/100 × 22500 = Rs.3150 

∴ CGST = SGST = Rs.3150 

∴ Total amount of tax invoice 

= Taxable value + CGST + SGST 

= 22500 + 3150 + 3150 

= Rs.28,800 

∴ The total amount shown in the tax invoice is Rs.28,800, and the amount of CGST and SGST is Rs.3150 each.

Smt. Deshpande purchased shares of FV Rs. 5 at a premium of Rs. 20. How many shares will she get for Rs. 20,000?

Answer»

Here, FV = Rs. 5, Premium = Rs.20, Sum invested = Rs.20,000 

∴ MV = FV + Premium = 5 + 20 

∴ MV = Rs.25 Now, sum invested = Number of shares × MV

∴ Number of shares = Sum invested / MV

= 20,000/25

= 800

∴ Smt. Deshpande got 800 shares for Rs. 20,000.

Find the purchase price of a share of FV Rs. 100 if it is at premium of Rs. 30. The brokerage rate is 0.3%.

Answer»

Here, Face Value of share = Rs. 100,

premium = Rs. 30, brokerage = 0.3% 

MV = FV + Premium 

= 100 + 30 

= Rs. 130 

Brokerage = 0.3% of MV

= 0.3/100 × 130 = Rs. 0.39

Purchase price of a share = MV + Brokerage

= 130 + 0.39 

= Rs. 130.39

Purchase price of a share is Rs. 130.39.

Joseph purchased following shares, Find his total investment. Company A : 200 shares, FV = Rs. 2, Premium = Rs. 18. Company B : 45 shares, MV = Rs. 500Company C : 1 share, MV = Rs. 10,540

Answer»

For company A: 

FV = Rs. 2, premium = Rs.18, 

Number of shares = 200 

∴ MV = FV+ Premium 

= 2 + 18 

= Rs.20 

Sum invested = Number of shares × MV 

= 200 × 20 

= Rs.14000 

For company B: 

MV = Rs.500, Number of shares = 45 

Sum invested = Number of shares × MV 

= 45 × 500 

= Rs.22,500

For company C: 

MV = Rs. 10,540, Number of shares 

= 1 x 10540 

∴ Sum invested = Number of shares × MV 

= 1 × 10540

= Rs. 10,540 

∴ Total investment of Joseph = Investment for company A + Investment for company B + Investment for company C 

= 4000 + 22,500 + 10,540 

= Rs. 37040 

∴ Total investment done by Joseph is Rs. 37,040.

= (0.3/100) × 130 = Rs.0.39 

Purchase price of a share = MV + Brokerage 

= 130 + 0.39 

= Rs.130.39 

Purchase price of a share is Rs.130.39.

32.

Prashant bought 50 shares of FV Rs. 100, having MV Rs. 180. Company gave 40% dividend on the shares. Find the rate of return on investment.

Answer»

Here, Number of shares = 50, FV = Rs. 100,

MV = Rs. 180, rate of dividend = 40%

∴ Sum invested = Number of shares × MV

= 50 × 180

= Rs. 9000

Dividend per share = 40% of FV

= 40/100 × 100

Dividend = Rs. 40

∴ Total dividend on 50 shares = 50 × 40

= Rs. 2000

Now, rate of return = \(\frac{\text{Total dividend}}{\text{Sum invested}} \times 100\)

\(= \frac{2000}{9000} \times 100\)

= 22.2%

∴ Rate of return on investment is 22.2%.

Prashant bought 50 shares of FV Rs.100, having MV Rs.180. Company gave 40% dividend on the shares. Find the rate of return on investment.

Answer»

Here, Number of shares = 50, FV = Rs.100, MV = Rs.180, rate of dividend = 40% 

∴ Sum invested = Number of shares × MV 

= 50 × 180 

= Rs.9000 

Dividend per share = 40% of FV 

= (40/100) × 100 

Dividend = Rs.40 

∴ Total dividend on 50 shares 

= 50 × 40 

= Rs. 2000

Now. rate of Return = (Total invidend) / (Sum invested) x 

=(2000/9000) x 100

= 22.2%

∴ Rate of return on investment is 22.2%

Fill in the blanks given in the contract note of sale-purchase of shares.(B – buy S – sell)No. of shares100 B72 SMV of shareRs. 45Rs. 200Total valueBrokerage 0.2 %9% CGST on brokerage9% SGST on brokerageTotal value of shares

Answer»

For buying shares:

Here, Number of shares = 100, 

MV of one share = Rs. 45 

∴ Total value = 100 × 45

= Rs. 4500

Brokerage = 0.2% of total value 0.2

= 0.2/100 × 4500

CGST = 9% of brokerage

= 9/100 × 9 = Rs. 0.81

But, SGST = CGST 

∴ SGST = Rs. 0.81 

∴ Purchase value of shares 

= Total value + Brokerage 

= 4500 + 9 + 0.81 + 0.81 

= Rs. 4510.62

For selling shares:

Here, Number of shares = 75, 

MV of one share = Rs. 200 

∴ Total value = 75 × 200 

= Rs. 15000 

Brokerage = 0.2% of total value

= 0.2/100 × 15000

= Rs. 30

CGST = 9% of brokerage

= 9/100 × 30 = Rs. 2.70

But, SGST = CGST

∴ SGST = Rs. 2.70

∴ Selling value of shares = Total value – (Brokerage + CGST + SGST)

= 15000 – (30 + 2.70 + 2.70)

= 15000 – 35.40

= Rs. 14964.60

A share is sold for the market value of Rs. 1000. Brokerage is paid at the rate of 0.1%. What is the amount received after the sale?

Answer»

Here, MV = Rs. 1000, Brokerage = 0.1%

∴ Brokerage = 0.1 % of MV

∴ Brokerage = Rs. 1

∴ Selling value of the share = MV – Brokerage

= 1000 – 1

= Rs. 999

∴ Amount received after the sale is Rs. 999.
