T-Nation, a T-shirt manufacturing company has unleashed 5-5-5 strategy, five brands (Ultimate Supreme, Smash, Paramount, Astute), five sizes, (S, M, L, XL, XXL), and five Stores (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5) to capture New Delhi market. Number of T-Shirts in each of the store is given in the stacked bar chart below.

Note: Visibility of a brand in a store is given by number of T-Shirts of the brand in the store by total number of T-Shirts in the store. Visibility across the stores is measured by sum of the scores of visibility of a brand in a store.

IIFT 2016 - Question 31

What is the approximate share of Supreme brand in all stores together?

Video Solution

Solution

Total number of T shirts in all stores = 450+480+440+280+350 = 2000

Number of T shirts of supreme brand in all stores = 128+55+79+111+65 = 438

Percentage share = 438*100/2000= 22 (Approx)

IIFT 2016 - Question 32

Approximately, by what percentage are Smash T-shirts greater than Ultimate T-shirts in all the stores together?

Video Solution

Solution

Number of Smash T shirts in all stores = 85 +137+30+60+108 = 420

Number of Ultimate T shirts in all stores = 57+84+30+48+122 = 341

Required percentage = 81*100/341 = 23

Instructions

Given below is the data about Domestic Investment (DI) and Foreign Investment (FI) in 9 different sectors over 5 year period.
(In Rs. Crores)

Note: DI = Domestic Investment; FI = Foreign Investment

IIFT 2016 - Question 33

What is the approximate ratio of the total investment in Energy sector to that of Financial services sector?

Video Solution

Solution

Total investment in Energy sector = 800+1200+500+1400+700+2500+600+1000+1100+500 = 10300

Total investment in financial services sector = 1800+500+400+2000+1200+1600+1000+1500+700+1400 = 12100

Total investment in financial services sector/ Total investment in Energy sector = 12100/10300 = 1.17 = 1.2 (Approximately)

Hence, Total investment in Energy sector/ Total investment in financial services sector = 1 : 1.2

IIFT 2016 - Question 34

Absolute different between the Total DI and Total FI is highest for which sector?

Video Solution

Solution

Absolute difference between total DI and total FI = absolute( Total DI - Total FI)

For Basic Materials, absolute( Total DI - Total FI) = |(1500+1500+2500+2000+2500)-(800+1300+1400+900+800)| = 10000-5200 = 4800

For Communication Services = |(2000+1200+1600+1000+500)-(1400+1000+1100+300+1200)| = |6300-5000| = 1300

For Consumer Cyclical = |(1000+1200+1100+500+900)-(1500+1500+3000+700+1900)| = |4700-8600| = 3900

For Consumer defensive = |(1300+700+1500+2000+1800)-(1000+1600+800+500+1600)| = |7300-5500| = 1800

For Energy =|(800+500+700+600+1100)-(1200+1400+2500+1000+500)| = |3700-6600| = 2900

For Financial Services =|(1800+400+1200+1000+700)-(500+2000+1600+1500+1400)| = |5100-7000| = 1900

For Healthcare = |(2000+600+400+1000+3500)-(3000+3000+6000+1500+600)| = |7500-14100|= 6600

For Real estate = |(500+1000+4000+6000+2000)-(2000+1500+3000+1500+2100)| = |13500-10100| = 3400

For Technology = |(1500+1000+1500+1200+3000)-(2500+2800+5000+2000+4000)| = |8200- 16300|=8100

Technology has highest absolute difference between Total DI and Total FI.

IIFT 2016 - Question 35

In which year the average DI is the highest?

Video Solution

Solution

Total no of sectors = 9

Average DI for 2013 = Total DI for 2013 across all sectors/9 = (2500+500+900+1800+1100+700+3500+2000+3000)/9 =15500/9

Average DI for 2011 = (2500+1600+1100+1500+700+1200+400+4000+1500)/9 = 14500/9

Average DI for 2010 = (1500+1200+1200+700+500+400+600+1000+1000)/9 = 8100/9

Average DI for 2009 = (1500+2000+1000+1300+800+1800+2000+500+1500)/9 = 12400/9

Average DI for 2013 is highest.

IIFT 2016 - Question 36

Which sector has received the 2nd lowest investment from DI for the total period?

Video Solution

Solution

Investment from DI for total period

For Basic Materials, Total DI = (1500+1500+2500+2000+2500) = 10000

For Communication Services, Total DI = (2000+1200+1600+1000+500) = 6300

For Consumer Cyclical, Total DI = (1000+1200+1100+500+900) = 4700

For Consumer defensive, Total DI = (1300+700+1500+2000+1800) = 7300

For Energy, Total DI =(800+500+700+600+1100) = 3700

For Financial Services, Total DI =(1800+400+1200+1000+700) = 5100

For Healthcare, Total DI = (2000+600+400+1000+3500) = 7500

For Real estate, Total DI = (500+1000+4000+6000+2000) = 13500

For Technology, Total DI = (1500+1000+1500+1200+3000) = 8200

Consumer Cyclical has 2nd lowest investment from DI for total period.

IIFT 2016 - Question 37

What is the approximate ratio of total DI to total FI?

Video Solution

Solution

For Basic Materials,

Total DI = (1500+1500+2500+2000+2500) = 10000

Total FI = (800+1300+1400+900+800) = 5200

For Communication Services,

Total DI= (2000+1200+1600+1000+500) = 6300

Total FI =(1400+1000+1100+300+1200) = 5000

For Consumer Cyclical

Total DI = (1000+1200+1100+500+900) = 4700

Total FI =(1500+1500+3000+700+1900) = 8600

For Consumer defensive

Total DI = (1300+700+1500+2000+1800) = 7300

Total FI =(1000+1600+800+500+1600) = 5500

For Energy

Total DI =(800+500+700+600+1100) = 3700

Total FI = (1200+1400+2500+1000+500) = 6600

For Financial Services

Total DI=(1800+400+1200+1000+700) = 5100

Total FI = (500+2000+1600+1500+1400) = 7000

For Healthcare

Total DI = (2000+600+400+1000+3500) = 7500

Total FI= (3000+3000+6000+1500+600) = 14100

For Real estate
Total DI = |(500+1000+4000+6000+2000) = 13500

Total FI = (2000+1500+3000+1500+2100) = 10100

For Technology

Total DI = (1500+1000+1500+1200+3000) = 8200

Total FI = (2500+2800+5000+2000+4000) = 16300

Total DI for all sectors = 66300

Total FI for all sectors = 78400

Ratio of Total FI to total DI = 78400/66300 = 1.18

Hence, Ratio of total DI to total FI = 2.36 : 2

Instructions

The following 2 bar charts represent revenues and expenses (in thousands) of A Ltd, B Ltd, and C Ltd over a period of five years.

Revenues of A Ltd, B Ltd, C Ltd for the period 2011-2015

IIFT 2016 - Question 38

For which company, the average annual expenses were maximum in the given period?

Video Solution

Solution

Average annual expense for A(in thousands) = Sum of all annual expenses for A(in thousands)/Total no of years = (105+185+100+120+110)/100 = 620/5

Similarly,

Average annual expense for B(in thousands) = (135+115+130+125+135)/5 = 640/5

Average annual expense for C(in thousands) = (165+155+190+100+100)/5 = 710/5

C has the highest average expense for given period.

IIFT 2016 - Question 39

For which year, the average annual revenue (considering all three companies) was the maximum?

Video Solution

Solution

Average annual revenue = Sum of annual revenue of A,B and C for the given year/3 (Here 3 is the total number of companies)

Average revenue for year 2011(in thousands) = (120+180+150)/3 = 450/3

Average revenue for year 2012(in thousands) = (165+150+180)/3 = 495/3

Average revenue for year 2013(in thousands) = (135+165+180)/3 = 480/3

Average revenue for year 2014(in thousands) = (180+150+135)/3 = 465/3

Here, Average annual revenue for 2012 is the highest.

IIFT 2016 - Question 40

What was the approximate percentage decline in the revenue of C Ltd in 2015 as compared to the revenue in 2012?

Video Solution

Solution

Revenue of C in 2012 = 180,000

Revenue of C in 2015 = 120,000

Decline in revenue = 180,000-120,000 = 60,000

Percentage decline in revenue = (Decline in revenue/Revenue of C in 2012)*100 = (60,000/180,000)*100 = 33.33
