    D GDP at market prices excludes net indirect taxes. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E GDP at factor cost includes only government income. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Explanation: GDP at factor cost represents the income earned by factors of production within domestic territory, while GDP at market prices captures value at consumer level. The bridge is Net Indirect Taxes (Indirect Taxes – Subsidies). This adjustment converts producers’ cost-based output into market-valued output, as used in international comparisons.
