For Company R, if the expenditure had increased by 20% in year 2001 from year 2000 and the company had earned profit of 10% in 2000, what was the Company's income in 2000 (in million US $)?


A. 35.75
B. 37.25
C. 38.5
D. 41.25

Answer & Explanation:

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let the expenditure of Company R in 2000 be x million US $.

Then, expenditure of Company R in 2001 = ( 120/100xx) million US $.

Therefore 120x/100= 45 => x = 37.5.

i.e., expenditure of Company R in 2000 = 37.5 million US $.

Let the income of Company R in 2000 be I million US $.

Then, 10 = ((I-37.5)/37.5)x100 [ Ref %Profit in 2000 = 10%]

=> I - 37.5 = 3.75

=> I = 41.25

i.e., Income of Company R in 2000 = 41.25 million US $.
