Answer

(i) M.P. = ₹ 20000

For shopkeeper,

Cost price = ₹ 20000

GST = 18% of ₹ 20000 = 18100×20000\dfrac{18}{100} \times 20000 = ₹ 3600.

Price of article = ₹ 20000 + ₹ 3600 = ₹ 23600.

Hence, the price of the article (inclusive of GST) for the shopkeeper is ₹ 23600.

(ii) For consumer,

Cost price = ₹ 20000 + 25% of ₹ 20000

= ₹ 20000 + 25100×20000\dfrac{25}{100} \times 20000

= ₹ 20000 + ₹ 5000

= ₹ 25000.

GST paid by consumer = 18% of ₹ 25000

= 18100×25000\dfrac{18}{100} \times 25000

= ₹ 4500.

Output tax for shopkeeper = Tax paid by consumer = ₹ 4500.

Input tax for shopkeeper = ₹ 3600.

∴ Tax paid by shopkeeper to government = Output tax - Input tax = ₹ 4500 - ₹ 3600 = ₹ 900.

Hence, the amount of tax under GST paid by shopkeeper to government = ₹ 900.
