The Annual Income and Experts increases by 10% and 5% respectively for 2 years. What is the V.A.T to be paid for 2014 (In Naira)?


Answer :A

Explanation:

Income increase by 10% in 2013 = 1.10 x 550,000 = 605,000
Income increase by 10% in 2014 = 1.10 x 605,000 = 665,500
Expense increase by 5% in 2013 = 1.05 x 50,000 = 52,500
Expense increase by 5% in 2014 = 1.05 x 50,000 = 55,125
Profit = Annual Income (2014) – Annual Expense (2014)
= 665,500 - 55,125
= 609,875
V.A.T in 2014 = 5% of 609,875
