Percentage Distribution of Total Expenditure of a Company

The expenditure on the interest on loans is by what percent more than the expenditure on transport?

A.

5%

B.

10%

C.

20%

D.

40%

Correct answer is D

Let the total amount of expenditures be Rs. x.

Then, the expenditure on interest on loans = Rs. (17.5% of x) = Rs. ( 17.5/100 x )

and the expenditure on transport = Rs. (12.5% of x) = Rs. ( 12.5/100 x )

Therefore difference between the two expenditures = Rs. ( 17.5x/100 - 12.5x/100 )

= Rs. ( 5x/100 )

and so, the required percentage = ( (5x/100)/(12.5x/100) x 100 ) % = 40%.

The bar graph given below shows the percentage distribution of the total expenditures of a company under various expense heads during 2003.

Percentage Distribution of Total Expenditure of a Company

If the interest on loans amounted to Rs. 2.45 crores then the total amount of expenditure on advertisement, taxes and research and development is?

A.

Rs. 7 crores

B.

Rs. 5.4 crores

C.

Rs. 4.2 crores

D.

Rs. 3 crores

Correct answer is C

Let the total expenditure be Rs. x crores.

Then, 17.5% of x = 2.45 => x = 14.

Therefore Total expenditure = Rs. 14 crores.

and so, the total expenditure on advertisement, taxes and Research and Development

= Rs. [(15 + 10 + 5)% of 14] crores

= Rs. [30% of 14] crores

= Rs. 4.2 crores.

The bar graph given below shows the percentage distribution of the total expenditures of a company under various expense heads during 2003.

Percentage Distribution of Total Expenditure of a Company

What is the ratio of the total expenditure on infrastructure and transport to the total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans?

A.

5:4

B.

8:7

C.

9:7

D.

13:11

Correct answer is D

Let the total amount of expenditures be Rs. x.

Then, the total expenditure on infrastruture and transport

= Rs. [(20 + 12.5)% of x]

= Rs. [32.5% of x]

= Rs. ( 32.5x/100 )

and total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans

= Rs. [(10 + 17.5)% of x]

= Rs. [27.5% of x]

= Rs. ( 27.5x/100 )

Therefore required ratio = ( (32.5x/100)/(27.5x/100) ) = 13/11

The bar graph given below shows the percentage distribution of the total expenditures of a company under various expense heads during 2003.

Percentage Distribution of Total Expenditure of a Company

If the expenditure on advertisement is 2.10 crores then the difference between the expenditure on transport and taxes is?

A.

Rs. 1.25 crores

B.

Rs. 95 lakhs

C.

Rs. 65 lakhs

D.

Rs. 35 lakhs

Correct answer is D

Let the total expenditure be Rs. x crores.

Then, 15% of x = 2.10 => x = ( (2.10 x 100)/15 ) = 14

Therefore total expenditure = Rs. 14 crores

and so, the difference between the expenditures on transport and taxes

= Rs. [(12.5 - 10)% of 14] crores

= Rs. [2.5% of 14] crores

= Rs. 0.35 crores

= Rs. 35 lakhs

The bar graph given below shows the percentage distribution of the total expenditures of a company under various expense heads during 2003.

Percentage Distribution of Total Expenditure of a Company

The total amount of expenditures of the company is how many times of expenditure on research and development?

A.

27

B.

20

C.

18

D.

8

Correct answer is B

Let the total expenditures be Rs. x.

Then, the expenditure on Research and Development (R & D)

= Rs. (5% of x)

= Rs. ( 5/100 x (x) )

= Rs. ( x/20 )

Therefore ratio of the total expenditure to the expenditure on R & D

= x/(x/20)

= 20/1

Then, the total expenditure is 20 times the expenditure of Research and Development.
