Q. In 2017, if the company made a profit of 20%, what was the profit percentage on the couriers sent by Air transport?

A
9.09%

B
10%

C
32%

D
33.2%

Solution

The ratio of total revenue to the total cost for
Air transport =10R/ 11C
Where R is the revenue generated by the company. C is the total cost of the company.
If the profit% of the company is 20%, then R/C = 1.2
So, total revenue as a fraction of cost for couriers
sent through Air transport = 10/11 X 1.2 = 1.0909
Hence, the profit% for couriers sent through
Air transport = 9.09%

Q. Through which mode of transportation did the company generate maximum profit in 2017?

A
Rail

B
Road

C
Air

D
Data Insufficient

Solution

Let the total cost be 360C and the revenue generated be 360R for ABC Ltd. in the year 2017. Profit generated by:
Road transport = 72R – 72C.
Rail transport = 108R – 90C.
Air transport = 180R – 198C.
The profit generated is a function of R and C whose value are not known.
So the answer cannot be determined.

Q. Which mode of transportation had the least cost of transport per courier in the year 2017 for the company?

A
Rail

B
Road

C
Air

D
Data Insufficient

Solution

Let the total number of couriers be 360N and the total cost be 360C. So the cost per courier for:
Road transport = 72C/150N = 0.48C/N
Rail transport = 90C /120N = 0.75C/N .
Air transport = 198C / 90N = 2.2C/N
It is clear from the above that the road transport has the least cost of transport per courier.

Q. What is the percentage increase in the sales of A in the year 2000 over 1995?

A
90%

B
60%

C
80%

D
50%

Solution

There are two successive increases — First is the total increase of 60% approx. ($ 3.7 bn in 2000 from $ 2.3 billion in 1995) and second is the percentage share of A by 20% approx. Hence total percentage increase = 92%.

Q. Find the CAGR with which the market has grown for the period 1995–2000?

A
18%

B
10%

C
5%

D
12%

Solution

Market size in 2000 = $ 3.7 billion
Market size in 1995 = $ 2.3 billion
Therefore, growth rate
= [(3.7/2.3)1/5 – 1] × 100 = 10 %
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
[3.7/2.3 = 1.6, now to find (1.6)1/5 , 1.13 = 1.331 and 1.12 = 1.21 and 1.3 × 1.2 = 1.6
Thus, 1.61/5 = 1.1]

A
$ 111 million

B
$ 340 million

C
$ 247 million

D
Cannot be determined

Solution

Since we do not know what part of market share of B. C and E has been eaten up by F, so cannot be determined.

Q. What is the increase in sales (in $ million) of A, B and C put together, over the 5 years period?

A
103

B
1202

C
668

D
854

Solution

Sales value for A + B + C in 2000 = (13 + 14 + 19)% of 3.7 billion = 46 % × 3.7 = 1.702 billion, Sales value for A + B + C in 1995 = (16 + 17 + 12) % of 2.3 billion = 1.035 billion.
Hence increase in sales value = 1703 – 1035 = $ 668 million.Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.

Q. The cost in rupees per tonne of oil moved by rail and road happens to be roughly

A
Rs. 3

B
Rs. 1.5

C
Rs. 4.5

D
Rs. 8

Solution

Cost in rupees of oil moved by rail and road is 18% of 30 million = 5.4 million.
Volume of oil transported by rail and road = 31% of 12 million tonnes = 3.72 million tonnes.
Cost in rupees per tonnes =5.4/3.72 = 1.5 approximately.

A
road

B
rail

C
pipeline

D
ship

Solution

From the chart, we can make out the least among road, rail, pipeline, ship by looking at the ratio of cost to volume.
Road = 6/22
Rail= 12/9
Pipeline = 65 /49
Ship= 10/ 9
Since ratio of cost to volume for road is the lowest, it is the cheapest

Q. If the costs per tonne of transport by ship, air and road are represented by P, Q and R respectively, which of the following is true?

A
R > Q > P

B
P > R > Q

C
P > Q > R

D
R > P > Q

Solution

Ship, air and road.
Like the previous answer again look at the ratio of
10/9, 7/11, 6/22
So 10/9> 7/11 > 6/22
Hence, P>Q>R
