The number of ways in which 15 mangoes can be equally divided among 3 students is
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sai Kulkarni answered
To determine the number of ways to divide 15 mangoes equally among 3 students, we can follow these steps:
  • The total number of mangoes is 15.
  • Since there are 3 students, we need to divide the mangoes by the number of students.
  • Each student would receive:
    • 15 mangoes ÷ 3 students = 5 mangoes per student.
  • Now, we need to consider the different ways to distribute the mangoes.
  • Since each student receives the same number of mangoes, the arrangement is straightforward:
    • There is only 1 way to equally distribute 15 mangoes among 3 students, as each gets 5.
Conclusion: The number of ways to equally divide 15 mangoes among 3 students is 1.

If MPS is 0.6, what will be ΔS when income increases by Rs 100?
  • a)
    Rs 60
  • b)
    Rs 50
  • c)
    Rs 40
  • d)
    Rs 70
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Sinjini Gupta answered  •  3 weeks ago
Understanding MPS
The Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) indicates the proportion of additional income that a household saves rather than spends. In this case, an MPS of 0.6 means that for every additional rupee earned, 60% will be saved.
Calculation of ΔS
To find the change in savings (ΔS) when income increases by Rs 100, we can use the formula:
ΔS = MPS × ΔIncome

 An asset was purchased for Rs. 6,60,000. Cash was paid Rs. 1,20,000 and for the balance a bill was drawn for 60 days. What will be the effect on fixed assets?
  • a)
    Rs. 1,20,000
  • b)
    Rs. 5,40,000
  • c)
    Rs. 6,60,000
  • d)
    Nil 
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

The effect on fixed assets when an asset is purchased for Rs. 6,60,000, with Rs. 1,20,000 paid in cash and the balance covered by a bill drawn for 60 days, would be: C: Rs. 6,60,000
Fixed assets should be recorded at the total purchase price, regardless of the payment method used. In this case, the entire cost of the asset, Rs. 6,60,000, should be recorded as an increase in fixed assets. The fact that part of the payment was deferred by drawing a bill does not affect the recorded value of the fixed asset.

A firm’s average fixed cost is Rs. 40 at 12 units. What will be the average fixed cost at 8 units:
  • a)
    Rs. 60
  • b)
    Rs. 70
  • c)
    Rs. 90
  • d)
    Rs. 80
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Srsps answered
Calculating Average Fixed Cost at 8 units

- Given that the average fixed cost at 12 units is Rs. 40.
- To find the average fixed cost at 8 units, we can use the concept of fixed costs being spread over a larger or smaller number of units produced.

Calculation

- Let's assume the total fixed cost at 12 units is Rs. 480 (40 * 12).
- To find the average fixed cost at 8 units, we divide the total fixed cost by the new number of units.
- Average fixed cost at 8 units = Total fixed cost / Number of units = Rs. 480 / 8 = Rs. 60.

Therefore, the average fixed cost at 8 units is Rs. 60. So, the correct answer is option A: Rs. 60.

The present value of annuity of rupees 5000 per annum for 12 years at 4% p.a. CI annually is?

Sinjini Gupta answered  •  Dec 12, 2024
Understanding Present Value of Annuity
To calculate the present value of an annuity, we use the formula that incorporates the interest rate and the duration of the annuity.
Key Components
- Annuity Payment (PMT): 5000 rupees per annum
- Number of Years (n): 12 years
- Interest Rate (r): 4% per annum compounded annually
Present Va
... more
The formula for the present value (PV) of an annuity is:
PV = PMT × [(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r]
Where:
- PMT = Payment per period
- r = Interest rate per period (as a decimal)
- n = Number of periods
Calculation Steps
1. Convert Interest Rate:
- r = 4% = 0.04
2. Substitute Values:
- PV = 5000 × [(1 - (1 + 0.04)^-12) / 0.04]
3. Calculate:
- (1 + 0.04)^-12 = (1.04)^-12 ≈ 0.636
- PV = 5000 × [(1 - 0.636) / 0.04]
- PV = 5000 × [0.364 / 0.04]
- PV = 5000 × 9.1
- PV ≈ 45500 rupees
Final Result
The present value of an annuity of 5000 rupees per annum for 12 years at 4% per annum compounded annually is approximately 45500 rupees.
This calculation helps in understanding the worth of future cash flows in today's terms.

In case of Inferior goods like bajra, a fall in its price tends to: 
  • a)
    Make the demand remain constant

Srsps answered
A Giffen good is typically an inferior product that does not have easily available substitutes. They are quite rare, to the extent that there is some debate about their actual existence. So fall in the price of such good like Bajra will also reduce its demand as income effect dominates the substitution effect.
