Question 73

If the interest on loans amounted to ₹ 2.45 crores, then the total amount of expenditure on advertisement, taxes and research & development is? (expenditure on the interest on loans = 17.5%)

Solution

Let total expenditure of company = Rs. $$100x$$ crores

Interest on loans = $$\frac{17.5}{100} \times 100x=17.5x$$

Also, $$17.5x=2.45$$ crore

=> $$x=\frac{2.45}{17.5} = 0.14$$

% spent on advertisement, taxes and research & development = 15+10+5 = 30%

=> Total amount spent on advertisement, taxes and research & development = $$\frac{30}{100} \times 100x=30x$$

= $$30 \times 0.14=4.2$$ crores

=> Ans - (B)
