Direction for (Que. 39 - 44): Answer the questions based on the following information.
ABC Ltd. produces widgets for which the demand is unlimited and they can sell all of their production. The graph below
describes the monthly variable costs incurred by the company as a function of the quantity produced. In addition, operating
the plant for one shift results in a fixed monthly cost of Rs. 800. Fixed monthly costs for second shift operation are estimated
at Rs. 1,200. Each shift operation provides capacity for producing 30 widgets per month.

wise for Pepper, Sugar and Gold it is 4%, - 0.3% and - 7.8%

(2) Expenditure in Jan 1999 = 312 thousand

Hence, statement (2) is correct.

Highest p r ice + lowest price + ending + beginning price

(approximately).
Difference between highest price and lowest price for Arhar = 800.

25.

One can logically assume that a test will be feasible if its relative
cost is lower than that of any other test. Test -2 has the lowest
relative cost in the range 0.05% to 0.2%, so the answer is [3].

Hence price volatility =

Difference
= 0.42.
Average p r ice

It is clear that price volatility is least for sugar.

26.

For p = 0.2, both, Test-2 and Test - 3 have the same relative
cost, so both of them are feasible.

27.

Test-3 has the lowest relative cost for the range p > 0.2, so Test
- 3 will be the best option to adopt for p > 0.2.

28.

In the range 0.00 < p < 0.05, Test - 1 has the lowest relative cost,
so the answer is (1), i.e. p < 0.05.

29.

30.

If p < 0.2, then initially Test -1 is more feasible, while thereafter,

Test -2 is a better option. While we cannot say from the data
given in the question, which of these two tests is better, we can
definitely say that Test-3 is the most expensive test for the range
p < 0.2. Hence the answer is [4].

(2) As calculated previously that maximum price volatility has

been registered by Arhar which is approximately 40%.

39.

(3) Total fixed cost = 800 + 1,200 = Rs. 2,000

Variable cost for 40 units = Rs. 3,600
hence total monthly cost = 5,600.

(4) From question (188), the price increase (profit/loss %) for

Arhar, Pepper, Sugar and Gold is 25%, 4%, - 0.3% and - 7.8%
respectively. Therefore profit for these commodities per100 will
be Rs. 25, Rs.4.00, - Rs. 0.3 (loss), - Rs. 7.8 (loss).
Hence total profit percentage

Therefore AC =

40.

(2) Marginal cost = Rs. (3,730 - 3,600) = 130.

41.

(4) From the graph, it is clear that marginal cost initially is a

increasing function of production quantity and then comes and a
decreasing function of production quantity.

42.

(3) Calculated above, total monthly cost for 40 units = Rs. 3,600
and total sales revenue = 150 40 = Rs. 6,000
Hence profit generated = Rs. (6,000 - 3,600) Rs. 400.

43.

(1) Total fixed cost incurred in manufacturing of 30 widgets is Rs.

800/- only because second shift is not required, hence profit is
maximum in producing 30 widgets.

(3) From the graph, it is clear that solubility for potassium nitrate
at 39oC is maximum i.e., 0.48.

(3) Solubility of potassium nitrate at 30oC is 0.36 kg/L. Hence, for

10 L the solubility = 0.39 10 = 3.9.
