VAT = Value addded by Incorporation Q×Tax rate= $37,200,000×3%=$1,116,000

Calculate the value added by Incorporation R and VAT on it, as follows;

Value addded by Incorporation R = Sales revenue-Cost of sales=[$124,000,000($10×12.4m units)$111,600,000($9×12.4m units)]=$12,400,000

VAT = Value addded by Incorporation Q×Tax rate= $12,400,000×3%=$372,000
