20% on cost so 25% on profie... Agree ?

Normal Goods 10,00,000/-.

Gross Profit = 10,00,000 * 25% = 250,000/-.

less : Loss on damaged Goods = (10,000)

Net G.P.                                              240,000

 

sorry, I can't understand how 25% on profit? please explain...

If i am not wrong answer should be 1,56,667.

On 10lacs he will earn profit of Rs. 1,66,667 and on sale of goods costing rs 30000 sold at 20000 will incurr loss of rs 10000.

Therfore my profit will be 1,66,667 - 10,000 = 1,56,667.

but answer is Rs.2,40,000

20% on cost is 16.66% on sales.

Hey shubham are you sure answer is 2,40,000?

And what according to you should be the answer?

According to me, answer should be same as you had solved. I think answer is wrong.

Ya i also think 2,40,000 is the wrong answer. Then to confirm with some professor if u go to classes.

Agree with Mehul's Working and Solution

Profit % on sales will be lower than the cost..

If 20% on cost then it will be 16.6666% on sales.

 

 

Sunitha & Bhargav : You need to clarify your basic concepts regarding Cost + Profit = Sales. Cost = 100 Profit = 20 (Given 20% profit on cost) Sales = Cost + Profi = 120 Now Profit on sales will be 20 divided by 120 which will come to 16.67%

alok,

Iam sorry  .u r correct.thanks for the correction
