Answer» Three TYPES of cost are cost on RAW material, labour cost and miscellaneous cost Ratio of expenditure on these cost is 4 : 3 : 3 Let the cost of the raw material be 4x. Then increase in cost of raw material = 10% of 4x = 0.4x Let the expenditure on the labour be 3x Then increase in expenditure on the labour = 6% of 3x = 0.18x Let the expenditure on the miscellaneous cost be 3x Then DECREASE in miscellaneous cost be = 5% of 3x = 0.15x Total increase in expenditure = 0.4x + 0.18x – 0.15x = 0.43x Now, the percentage rise $(= \;\frac{{0.43x}}{{10x}} \TIMES 100 = 4.3)$ Thus, the percentage rise in the cost of fan is 4.3% |
