The CSO has decided to adopt the international practice of presenting industry-wise estimates as "Gross value added at basic prices" (GVA). As a result GDP at market prices will be the basis of ascertaining GDP instead of GDP at factor cost. Which of the following option shows the correct relation between GVA & GDP? | GVA + taxes on products - subsidies on products = GDP | GDP + taxes on products - subsidies on products = GVA | GVA - taxes on products + subsidies on products = GDP | GVA + taxes on products - subsidies on products = GDP | Under the old method, GDP was calculated at factor cost; now it will be done at basic prices. For a producer, GDP at factor cost represents what he gets from the industrial activity. This can be broken down into various components - wages, profits, rents and capital - also commonly known factors of production.
