Instructions

Abdul has 8 factories, with different capacities, producing boutique kurtas. In the production process, he incurs raw material cost, selling cost (for packaging and transportation) and labour cost. These costs per kurta vary across factories. In all these factories, a worker takes 2 hours to produce a kurta. Profit per kurta is calculated by deducting raw material cost, selling cost and labour cost from the selling price (Profit = selling price - raw materials cost - selling cost - labour cost). Any other cost can be ignored.


Question 65

Which of the following options is in decreasing order of raw materials cost per kurta?

Solution

Profit  = selling price - raw materials cost - selling cost - labor cost 

Hence, raw materials cost = selling price - profit - selling cost - labor cost 

A worker takes 2 hour to produce a kurta.

Labor cost for Kurta = 2 * (Labor cost/ hour)

Raw materials cost per Kurta

for factory 2,    5300-800-45-400*2 = 3655

for factory 3,    5800-900-60-550*2 = 3740

for factory 4,    5500-800-68-450*2 = 3732

for factory 5,    5400-600-75-600*2 = 3525

for factory 6,    6000-875-65-400*2 = 4260

for factory 7,    4900-500-85-350*2 = 3615

for factory 8,    5300-600-70-420*2 = 3790
