Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Income of company A in the year 2012 = Rs. 6.425 lakh
Profit percentage = 45%
Formula Used:
Profit Percentage = (Profit / Expenditure) × 100
Profit = Income - Expenditure
Profit Percentage = [(Income - Expenditure) / Expenditure] × 100
Calculation:
Let the expenditure be E.
Profit = Income - Expenditure
Profit = 6.425 lakh - E
Profit Percentage = [(Income - Expenditure) / Expenditure] × 100
45 = [(6.425 - E) / E] × 100
Divide both sides by 100:
0.45 = (6.425 - E) / E
Multiply both sides by E:
0.45E = 6.425 - E
Add E to both sides:
0.45E + E = 6.425
1.45E = 6.425
Divide both sides by 1.45:
E = 6.425 / 1.45
E = 4.43 lakh
The expenditure of the company in the year 2012 was Rs. 4.43 lakh.
