Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Quantity I = Quantity II Given: Profit = 425% C.P. = Increase is 5% S.P. =Constant Discount = 80% on mark up Formula used : Profit = S.P. – C.P. Calculation: Quantity I : Assume the cost price = Rs 100 ⇒ Selling price = 100 + 425 ⇒ Selling price = 525 ⇒ Profit from new C.P. increase = 525 – (100 + (0.05 × 100)) ⇒ Profit from new C.P. increase = 525 – 105 ⇒ Profit from new C.P. increase = 420% ⇒ New profit margin = (420/105) × 100 ⇒ New profit margin % = 400% Quantity II : Let the marked price be Rs 100 Selling price = 100 – (0.80 × 100) ⇒ Selling price = 20 ⇒ S.P. = C.P. = 20 ⇒ Percentage markup = ((100 – 20)/20) × 100 ⇒ Percentage markup = 400% ∴ Quantity I = Quantity II |
