17. | | The value of sales of finished goods in 1999 was approximately what percent of the average amount invested in Raw materials in the years 1997, 1998 and 1999? | | (a)33% | | (b)37% | | (c)45% | | (d)49% |
|
Answer is: DRequired percentage = [600/(375 + 330 + 525)] x 100%
Required percentage = 48.78% = 49%
18. | | What was the difference between the average amount invested in Raw materials during the given period and the average value of sales of finished goods during this period? | | (a)Rs. 62.5 lakhs | | (b)Rs. 68.5 lakhs | | (c)Rs. 71.5 lakhs | | (d)Rs. 77.5 lakhs |
|
Answer is: DRequired difference = Rs.[(200 + 300 + 500 + 400 + 600 + 460)/6] – [(120 + 225 + 375 + 330 + 525 + 420)/6] lakhs
Required difference = Rs[(2460)/6 – (1995)/6] lakhs
Required difference = Rs(410 – 332.5) lakhs = Rs. 77.5 lakhs
19. | | In which year, the percentage change (compared to the previous year) in the investment on Raw materials is same as that in the value of sales of finished goods? | | (a)1996 | | (b)1997 | | (c)1998 | | (d)1999 |
|
Answer is: BThe percentage change in the amount invested in raw-materials and in the value of sales of finished goods for different years are:
Percentage change in Amount invested in raw-material:
For 1996 = [(225 - 120)/120] x 100% = 87.5%
For 1997 = [(375 - 225)/225] x 100% = 66.67%
For 1998 = [(330 – 375)/375] x 100% = -12%
For 1999 = [(525 – 330)/330] x 100% = 59.09%
For 2000 = [(420 - 525)/525] x 100% = -20%
Percentage change in value of sales of finished goods:
For 1996 = [(300 - 200)/200] x 100% = 50%
For 1997 = [(500 – 300)/300] x 100% = 66.7%
For 1998 = [(400 - 500)/500] x 100% = -20%
For 1999 = [(600 – 400)/400] x 100% = 50%
For 2000 = [(460 – 600)/600] x 100% = -23.33%
Thus, the percentage difference is same during the year 1997.
20. | | In which year, there has been a maximum percentage increase in the amount invested in Raw materials as compared to the year? | | (a)1996 | | (b)1997 | | (c)1998 | | (d)1999 |
|
Answer is: AThe percentage increase in the amount invested in raw-materials as compared to the previous year, for different years are:
For 1996 = [(225 – 120)/120] x 100% = 87.5%
For 1997 = [(375 – 225)/225] x 100% = 66.67%
For 1998 there is a decrease.
For 1999 = [(525 – 330)/330] x 100% = 59.09%
For 2000 there is a decrease.
So, There is maximum percentage increase in 1996.
21. | | The total production of flavour Z in 1997 and 1998 is what percentage of the total production of flavour X in 1995 and 1996? | | (a)96.67% | | (b)102.25% | | (c)115.57% | | (d)133.33% |
|
Answer is: DRequired percentage = [(60 + 60)/(50 + 40)] X 100%
Required percentage = [120/90] X 100%
So, , Required percentage = 133.33%
22. | | For which flavour was the average annual production maximum in the given period? | | (a)X only | | (b)Y only | | (c)Z only | | (d)X and Y |
|
Answer is: BAverage annual productions over the given period for various flavours are:
For Flavour X = [(50 + 40 + 55 + 45 + 60 + 50)/6] = 50 lakh bottles.
For Flavour Y = [(55 + 60 + 50 + 55 + 50 + 55)/6] = 54.17 lakh bottles.
For Flavour Z = [(45 + 50 + 60 + 60 + 45 + 40)/6] = 50 lakh bottles.
So, Maximum average production is for Flavour Y.
23. | | What is the difference between the average production of flavour X in 1995, 1996 and 1997 and the average production of flavour Y in 1998, 1999 and 2000?
| | (a)50,000 bottles | | (b)80,000 bottles | | (c)2,40,000 bottles | | (d)5,00,000 bottles |
|
Answer is: DAverage production of flavour X in 1995, 1996 and 1997 = [(50 + 40 + 55)/3]
Average production of flavour X in 1995, 1996 and 1997 = [145/3] lakhs bottles.
Average production of flavour Y in 1998, 1999 and 2000 = [(50 + 55 + 55)/3]
Average production of flavour Y in 1998, 1999 and 2000 = [160/3] lakhs bottles.
Difference = [(160/3) - (145/3)] = 15/3 = 5,00,000 lakhs bottles.
24. | | What was the approximate decline in the production of flavour Z in 2000 as compared to the production in 1998?
| | (a)50% | | (b)42% | | (c)33% | | (d)25% |
|
Answer is: CPercentage decline in the production of flavour Z in 2000 as compared to the production in 1998 = [(60 - 40)/60] x 100% = 33%
