Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
| No. of Machines | Output | Manuf. cost | Est. cost | Total cost | Profit |
| 12 | 48, 000 | 24, 000 | 10, 000 | 34, 000 | 14, 000 |
| 11 | 44, 000 | 22, 000 | 10, 000 | 32, 000 | 12, 000 |
Profit,
= Output - total cost
= 44000 - 32000
= Rs. 12000
Initial value of share holders,
= 14000
= Rs. 1400
New value of share holders,
= 12000
= Rs. 1200
Decrease in Share holder value = 1400 - 1200 = 200
percentage decrease in the value of shareholders is :
