Question 69

For a given issue of the magazine, the 2% of the cost is Rs. 2,000 and the print-run is 12,500 copies. What should be the sale price if the publisher desires a profit of 5 percent?

Solution

It is given that 2% of C.P= Rs. 2000

=>$${\ \frac{\ 2}{100}}$$*CP= 2000

=>CP= $${\ \frac{\ 200000}{2}}$$.

.'. CP= Rs. 1,00,000

Profit required =5%

So, total SP= 1.05(1,00,000)= Rs. 1,05,000.

Copies sold= 12,500.

Therefore, SP of each copy= Rs. $${\ \frac{\ 1,05,000}{12,500}}$$= Rs.8.40- Option D
