Answer

Purchase price of goods = ₹4000
Profit Percentage = 20%
Rate of GST = 5%

As the sales are intra-state and the rate of GST is 5%, so GST comprises of CGST at 2.5% and SGST at 2.5%

(i) The selling price (excluding tax) of the goods = Purchase price + Profit

=4000+(20100×4000)=4000+800=4800= 4000 + \Big(\dfrac{20}{100} \times 4000\Big) \\[0.5em] = 4000 + 800 \\[0.5em] = \bold{₹4800}

(ii) CGST = 2.5% of 4800 = 2.5100\dfrac{2.5}{100} x 4800 = ₹120

(iii) SGST = 2.5% of 4800 = 2.5100\dfrac{2.5}{100} x 4800 = ₹120

(iv) The total amount paid by the consumer = Selling price of the goods + GST paid by the consumer
= ₹4800 + CGST paid by the consumer + SGST paid by the consumer
= ₹4800 + ₹120 + ₹120
= ₹5040
