For seven companies A–G: percent of total production cost, I:II production cost ratio, and profit % on items I and II. Total production cost = Rs 50 crore.
| Company | Cost (%) | I:II | Profit I (%) | Profit II (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 15 | 2:3 | 25 | 20 |
| B | 11 | 3:2 | 32 | 35 |
| C | 22 | 4:1 | 20 | 22 |
| D | 8 | 3:5 | 15 | 25 |
| E | 27 | 5:3 | 28 | 30 |
| F | 5 | 1:4 | 35 | 25 |
| G | 12 | 1:2 | 30 | 24 |
The cost of production of item I by Company F is what percent of the cost of production of item II by Company D?
The item I cost of Company F is 20 percent of the item II cost of Company D.
Company D item II cost was found to be 2.5 crores.
Company F holds 5 percent of 50 crores, which is 2.5 crores of total cost.
Its items I and II are in the ratio 1 to 4, so item I is 2.5 crores times 1 by 5.
This gives an item I cost of 0.5 crores.
So 0.5 crores as a percent of 2.5 crores is 0.5 divided by 2.5 times 100, which is 20 percent.
The percentage compares one derived cost against another derived cost.
