her total profit after 3 year
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
SOLUTION
Initial capital = Rs.2,50,000
At the end of the first year, profit obtained = 5%
ie Profit at end of first year,
P1 = (5/100)*250000
= Rs.12500
Total capital at end of first year = Initial capital + P1
= 250000 + 12500
= Rs.2,62,500
At the end of the second year, profit obtained = 10%
ie Profit at end of second year,
P2 = (10/100)*(Total capital at the end of first year)
= (10/100)*262500
= Rs.26250
Total capital at end of second year = Total capital at the end of first year + P2
= 262500 + 26250
= Rs.2,88,750
At the end of the third year, profit obtained = 12%
ie Profit at end of third year,
P3 = (12/100)*(Total capital at the end of second year)
= (12/100)*288750
= Rs.34650
Total profit after three years = Profit at the end of first year + Profit at the end of second year + Profit at the end of third year
= P1 + P2 + P3
= 12500 + 26250 + 34650
= Rs.73400
Hence, Hema's total profit after 3 years = Rs.73400
