Section – C

Question 13.
(a) If Mr Nirav deposits ₹ 250 at the beginning of each month in an account that pays an interest of 6% per annum compounded monthly, how many months will be required for the deposit to amount to at least ₹ 6390? [5]
(b) A mill owner buys two types of machines A and B for his mill. Machine A occupies 1000 sq.m of the area and required 12 men to operate it; while machine B occupies 1200 sq.m of the area and requires 8 men to operate it. The owner has 7600 sqm of the area available and 72 men to operate the machines. If machine A produces 50 units and machine B produces 40 units daily, how many machines of each type should he buy to maximise the daily output? Use Linear Programming to find a solution. [5]
Solution:

Question 14.
(a) A bill of ₹ 60000 was drawn on 1 st April 2011 at 4 months and discounted for ₹ 58560 at a bank. If the rate of interest was 12% per annum, on what date was the bill discounted? [5]
(b) A company produces a commodity with ₹ 24000 fixed costs. The variable cost is estimated to be 25% of the total revenue recovered on selling the product at a rate of ₹ 8 per unit. Find the following: [5]
(i) Cost function
(ii) Revenue function
(iii) Break-even point.
Solution:
(a) B.D. = Face value – Amount received = ₹ (60000 – 58560) = ₹ 1440
Now, B.D. is interest on face value for remaining periods.
1440 = 60000 × \(\frac { 12 }{ 100 }\) × Remaining period
⇒ Remaining period
\(\begin{array}{l}{=\frac{1440}{12 \times 600} \text { years }=\frac{1}{5} \text { years }} \\ {=\frac{1}{5} \times 365 \text { days }=73 \text { days }}\end{array}\)
Now, bill was drawn on 1st April, 2011 for four months. So legally due date is 4th of August 2011.
The bill was encashed 73 days before this counting days backwards.
August – 4 days
July – 31 days
June – 30 days
May – 8 days
The bill was encashed on (31 – 8) = 23 May, 2011
(b) Suppose that x number of unit are produced and sold.
(i) As each unit’s variable cost is 25% of revenue
The variable cost of x units = 25 % of ₹ 8 x = ₹ 2x
Total cost of producing x units C(x) = TFC + TVC = ₹ (24000 + 2x)
(ii) Price of one unit = ₹ 8
Total revenue on selling x units = R(x) = ₹ 8x
(iii) At break even values
C(x) = R(x)
⇒ 24000 + 2x = 8x
⇒ 24000 = 6x
⇒ x = 4000

Question 15.
(a) The price index for the following data for the year 2011 taking 2001 as the base year was 127. The simple average of price relatives method was used. Find the value of x. [5]

(b) The profits of a paper bag manufacturing company (in lakhs of rupees) during each month of a year are: [5]
