The horizontal bars in the above diagram represent 2020 aggregate sales (in ₹ million) of a company for the different subcategories of its products. The top four product subcategories (Bookcases, Chairs, Furnishings, Tables) belong to furniture product category; the bottom four product subcategories (Accessories, Copiers, Machines, Phones) belong to the technology product category while all other product subcategories belong to the office supply product category. For each of the product subcategories, there is a vertical line indicating the sales of the corresponding subcategory in 2019.

Question 1.

The total sales (in ₹ million) in 2019 from products in office supplies category is closest to

A

B

C

D

Video Explanation

Text Explanation:

The total sales from products in the office supply category in 2019 is :

Sum of sales of :

Binders: 3.6 million

Art : 0.4 million.

Appliances: 1.9 million

Envelops: 0.3 million

Fasteners: 0.1 million

Labels: 0.2 million

Paper = 1.5 million.

Storage: 4.3 million.

Supplies: 1.1 million.

The sum of sales of these products = 3.6+0.4+1.9+0.3+0.1+0.2+1.5+4.3+1.1 = 13.4 million.

The closest among the option is 13.5 million.

Question 2.

The percentage increase in sales in Furniture category from 2019 to 2020 is closest to

A

B

C

D

Video Explanation

Text Explanation:

The percentage increase in sales in the furniture category from 2019 to 2020 are :

Bookcases: 1.9 million in 2019 and 2.2 million in 2020.

Chairs: 6.2 million in 2019 and 7 million in 2020.

Furnishings: 2.05 million in 2019 and 2.1 million in 2020.

Tables: 4.4 million in 2019 and 4.5 million in 2020.

Hence the percentage increase is given by :

$\frac{((2.2+7+2.1+4.5)−(1.9+6.2+2.05+4.4))}{1.9+6.2+2.05+4.4}$

$\frac{15.8-14.55}{14.55} \cdot 100 = \frac{125}{14.55} = 8.53\%$

Question 3.

The improvement index for a category is the maximum percentage increase in sales from 2019 to 2020 among any of its subcategories. The correct order of categories in increasing order of this improvement index is

A

B

C

D

Video Explanation

Text Explanation:

The improvement index for a category is the maximum percentage increase in sales from 2019 to 2020 among any of its subcategories.

Hence based on the information provided in the tabular data we need to look for the different subcategories where the rise in sales from 2019 to 2020 is higher.

Based on the visual data :

In the furniture category :

Bookcases and Chairs have a relatively high percentage increase :

Books cases: 1.9 million to 2.2 million ( 15.7 percent increase )

Chairs: 6.2 million to 7 million ( 12.9 percent increase)

In the office supply category :

Binders and Appliances have a relatively high percentage increase :

Binders: 3.6 million to 5.3 million (47 percent increase )

Appliances: 1.9 million to 3.15 million ( 65.7 percent increase)

In technology product category :

Accessories: 3.1 to 4.4 million. (41.9 percent increase)

Phones: 5.8 million to 7.7 million ( 32.7 percent increase)

Hence among the categories :

The highest increase among them is in the order :

Furniture < Technology product < office supply.

Question 4.

How many subcategories had sales of ₹ 4 million or more in 2019 and registered an increase in sales in excess of 25% in 2020?

Video Explanation

Text Explanation:

The number of subcategories had sales of ₹ 4 million or more in 2019 and registered an increase in sales in excess of 25% in 2020 :

The subcategories with more than 4 million in sales in 2019 are :

Chairs: 6.2 million in 2019 and 7 million in 2020. ( For a 25 percent increase the sales must be at least 7.8 million and hence fails)

Tables: 4.4 million in 2019 and 4.5 million in 2020. ( For a 25 percent increase the sales must be at least 5.5 million and hence fails)

Storage: 4.3 million sales in 2019 and 5.1 million in 2020. ( For a 25 percent increase the sales must be at least 5.4 and hence fails)

Phones: 5.75 million in 2019 and 7.5 million in 2020. ( An increase of 30.5 percent)

Hence only one subcategory satisfies the condition.

Directions for the following four questions:
Answer the following questions based on the information given below.
The following table shows the break-up of actual costs incurred by a company in last five years (year 2002 to year 2006) to produce a particular product.
The production capacity of the company is 2000 units. The selling price for the year 2006 was Rs. 125 per unit. Some costs change almost in direct proportion to the change in volume of production, while others do not follow any obvious pattern of change with respect to the volume of production and hence are considered fixed. Using the information provided for the year 2006 as the basis for projecting the figures for the year 2007, answer the following questions:

Question 5.

A

B

C

D

E

Text Explanation:

Fixed costs in 2006 are consumables, rent of building, rates and taxes, repair and maintenance expenses and selling and marketing expenses. We can see this from the trend followed in the years 2002-2006.
Fixed costs in 2006 = 1400 + 1200 + 400 + 800 + 5800 = 9600
We can see that that material , labour and operation costs depend on no. of units.
If we take units = x .
Total cost of these 3 materials is 50x +20x+30x = 100x and remaining fixed cost taking same as in 2006 we get , 9600+100x , but here x = 1400.
We have total cost per unir (9600+100*1400)/1400 = 107(approx).
Hence option B.

Question 6.

D

E

Text Explanation:

Fixed costs in 2006 are consumables, rent of building, rates and taxes, repair and maintenance expenses and selling and marketing expenses. We can see this from the trend followed in the years 2002-2006.
Fixed costs in 2006 = 1400 + 1200 + 400 + 800 + 5800 = 9600 => fixed costs in 2007 are same.
We can see that that material , labour and operation costs depend on no. of units.
If we take units = x .
Total cost of these 3 materials is 50x +20x+30x = 100x and remaining fixed cost taking same as in 2006 we get , 9600+100x.
As the selling price is 125, we have 100x + 9600 < 125*x.
Solving this we get x = 384.
Hence option C.

Question 7.

B

C

D

E

Text Explanation:

Fixed costs in 2006 are consumables, rent of building, rates and taxes, repair and maintenance expenses and selling and marketing expenses. We can see this from the trend followed in the years 2002-2006.
Fixed costs in 2006 = 1400 + 1200 + 400 + 800 + 5800 = 9600 => fixed costs in 2007 are same.
We can see that that material , labour and operation costs depend on no. of units.
If we take units = x .
Total cost of these 3 materials is 50x +20x+30x = 100x and remaining fixed cost taking same as in 2006 we get , 9600+100x.
Selling price is reduced by 5% => SP = 125 * 0.95 = Rs 118.75
Profit = 118.75x - 100x - 9600 = 18.75x - 9600
Profit will be maximum when x is maximum
=> 2000 units.

Text Explanation:

Fixed costs in 2006 are consumables, rent of building, rates and taxes, repair and maintenance expenses and selling and marketing expenses. We can see this from the trend followed in the years 2002-2006.
Fixed costs in 2006 = 1400 + 1200 + 400 + 800 + 5800 = 9600 => fixed costs in 2007 are same.
We can see that that material , labour and operation costs depend on no. of units.
If we take units = x .
Total cost of these 3 materials is 50x +20x+30x = 100x and remaining fixed cost taking same as in 2006 we get , 9600+100x.
Selling price = 125 - 5 = Rs 120.
Profit = 120x - 100x - 9600 = 20x - 9600
When x = 1700 => Profit = 20*1700 - 9600 = 34000 - 9600 = Rs 24400.
