I think there is a mistake in the article

I think there is a mistake in the calculation for Example B

I think it works this way.....

Correct me if i am wrong.

Example B
(Rs)

Basic purchase price
10,000

Add 12.5 per cent VAT
1,250

VAT inclusive purchase price
11,250

Less VAT input
1,250

VAT free purchase price
10,000

Add overheads
100

Total
10,100

Add 20 per cent profit margin
2,020

Total
12,120

Basic selling price
12,120

Add 12.5 per cent VAT
1,515

VAT inclusive selling price
13,635



Hence the difference from Example A and B ends up being Rs.1688
