Answers
Given: Total expenditure = ₹ 2,75,500
Percentage of expenditure on salary= 35%
Percentage of expenditure on raw material= 25%
Percentage of expenditure on furniture= 15%
Percentage of expenditure on electricity charges= 10%
Percentage of expenditure on printing= 10%
Percentage of expenditure on incentives= 5%
Total expenditure is increased by ₹ 35,200.
To Find: Money spent on raw materials and electricity if the expenditure is increased.
Solution: Increased expenditure= ₹ (2,75,500 + 35,200)
= ₹ 310,700
∴ Money spent on raw materials= 25% of ₹ 310,700
= ₹ 77,675
Money spent on electricity= 10% of ₹ 310,700
= ₹ 31,070
∴ Total money spent on raw materials and electricity= ₹ (77,675 + 31,070)
= ₹ 1,08,745
Answer-) The total expenditure on raw materials and electricity after the increased expenditure is ₹ 1,08,745.
