Rakesh visited a furniture shop and bought 4 tables and 9 chairs for 1285. He plans to sell tables at a profit of 10% and chairs at 20% profit, he calculated that this plan will earn him a profit of Rs.157. How much combined money did he have to pay for 3 tables and 2 chairs? (Approx)1. Rs. 8132. Rs. 8723. Rs. 8764. Rs. 833

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 813

Given:

Cost of 4 tables and 9 chairs combined = Rs. 1285.

Profit calculated which he will earn = Rs. 157

Formula used:

SP = CP × [(100 + Gain%)/100]

Calculation:
Let CP of 1 table and 1 chair be Rs. x and Rs. y resepctively.

Now Acc. to Question,

4x + 9y = 1285      ----(i)

and, 10% of 4x + 20% of 9y = 157

4x + 18y = 1570      ----(ii)

Now 2 × (i) – (ii)

(8x+18y) – (4x + 18y) = 2570 – 1570

⇒ 4x = 1000

⇒ x = 250 (price of 1 table)

Now, From eqn. (i)

⇒ 4 × 250 + 9y = 1285

⇒ 9y = 285

⇒ y = 285/9 (price of 1 chair)

Combined money which Rakesh will pay for 3 tables and 2 chairs = 3 × 250 + [(2 × 285)/9]

⇒ Rs. (750 + 63.33)

⇒ Rs. 813.33 ≈ Rs. 813

∴ The required amount is Rs. 813

XYZ Company distributes its profit or loss to its partners X, Y and Z in the ratio of 1/3, 1/2, 1/6 respectively. If Z gets Rs.1,76,802 as his share then find the amount received by Y.A. Rs. 5,30,406B. Rs. 88,401C. Rs. 3,53,604D. Rs. 2,65,2031. D2. A3. C4. B

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : A

Given:

Profit/loss sharing ratio of X, Y and Z = 1/3 : 1/2 : 1/6

Share of Z = Rs. 1,76,802

Calculation:

LCM of 3, 2 and 6 = 6

Then, Profit/loss sharing ratio of X, Y and Z = 2 : 3 : 1

Share of Y = (3/1) × Share of Z

⇒ 3 × Rs. 1,76,802

⇒ Rs. 5,30,406

∴ Rs. 5,30,406 is received by Y.

Answer»

(i) Capitalisation of Super Profit Method:

Step 1: Calculation of Capital Employed: 

Capital Employed = Assets - External Liabilities

= 4000000 - 720000

= 3280000

Step 2: Calculation of Normal Profit:

Normal Profit = 3280000 x [10/100] = 328000

Step 3: Calculation of Average Profit:

Average Profit = 400000

Step 4: Calculation of Super Profit:

Super Profit = 400000 - 328000

= 72000

Step 5: Calculation of Goodwill:

Goodwill = Super Profit x [100/Normal Rate Of Return]

= 72000 x [100/10]

= 720000

(ii) Super Profit Method:

Step 1: Calculation of Capital Employed: 

Capital Employed = Assets - External Liabilities

= 4000000 - 720000

= 3280000

Step 2: Calculation of Normal Profit:

Normal Profit = 3280000 x [10/100]

= 328000

Step 3: Calculation of Average Profit:

Average Profit = 400000

Step 4: Calculation of Super Profit:

Super Profit = 400000 - 328000 = 72000

Step 5: Calculation of Goodwill:

Goodwill = Super Profit x Number of years' of purchase

= 72000 x 3 

= 216000

Answer» Capilalised value of Average Profits

Goodwill = Capitalised value - Net Assets
= Rs. 10,00,000 - Rs. 8,20,000
= Rs, 1,80,000
(b) (b) Capitalisation of Super Profits: Goodwill can also be ascertained by capitalising the super profit directly. Under this method there is no need to work out the capitalised value of average profits. It involves the following steps.
(i) Calculate capital employed of the firm, which is equal to total assets minus outside liabilities.
(ii) Calculate normal profits on capital employed.
(iii) Calculate average profit for past years, as specified.
