Answers
Answer:
Cost price (C.P) of paper sheets = Rs.7200
Spent on transport = ₹ 200
Total C.P of paper sheets= C.P of paper sheets + overhead expenses
Total C.P of paper sheets = 7200 +200= ₹ 7400
Amount paid for making boxes=₹ 600
Total C.P of making 330 boxes = 7400 +600= ₹ 8000
Total C.P of making 330 boxes = ₹ 8000
Selling price(S.P) of each box = ₹ 28
selling price (S.P)of 330 boxes = 330 × 28 = ₹9240
Profit = S.P - C.P
Profit = 9240 - 8000 = ₹ 1240
Profit percentage(P %) = (1240 / 8000) x 100 %
= 124/8
Profit %= 15.5%
