Study the table below to answer these questions. 

1. Answer : 4

Explanation : Let the borrowing of Company A = x

Interest of Company A = 234000

Rate of Interest = 18% 

$\therefore x\times \frac{18}{100}=234000 \Rightarrow x=1300000$

Let the borrowing of Company B = y 

Interest of Company B = 576000

Rate of interest = 24%

$\therefore y\times \frac{24}{100}=576000 \Rightarrow y=2400000$ 

 Required difference = y - x = 2400000 - 1300000 = Rs. 1100000 

2. Answer : 2

 Explanation : 

 Let the profit of Comapny B = 100%

 Dividend Payout ratio(%) of B = 19.60

 Remaining percent i.e retained earning = 100 - 19.60 = 80.4%

 According to question, 80.4% = Rs.402 lakh

 100% = Rs.500 lakh

 Therefore,  Total dividend paid by Company B = 500 - 402 = Rs. 98 lakh

 Let the profit of company D = 100%

 Dividend payout ratio (%) of D = 32.50 

 Remaining percent i.e retained earning = 100 - 32.50 = 67.5% 

 According to question, 67.5% = Rs. 270 lakh 

 100% = Rs. 400 lakh

 Therefore, Total dividend paid by company D = 400 - 270 = Rs. 130 lakh 

 Required difference = 130 - 98 = Rs. 32 lakh 

3. Answer : 3

Explanation : 

Let the profit of Company C = 100% 

Dividend payout ratio of C = 8.75% 

Remaining percent i.e, retained earning = 100 - 8.75 = 91.25 

According to question, 91.25% = Rs. 365 lakh 

100% = Rs. 400 lakh 

Therefore, Profit of C = Rs. 400 lakh

Let the profit of company E = 100% 

Dividend payout ratio of E = 28% 

Remaining percent i.e retained earning = 100 - 28 = 72% 

According to question, 72% = Rs.216 lakh 

100% = Rs.300 lakh

Therefore, Profit of E = Rs. 300 lakh 

Required percentage = $\frac{100}{400}\times 100$ = 25% less

4. Answer : 3

 Explanation : 

 Profit made by company A = Rs. 200 lakh

 Profit made by company B = Rs. 500 lakh 

 Required Sum = 200 + 500 = Rs. 700 lakh

5. Answer : 4 

Explanation : 

 Required Sum = 1300000 + 2400000 + 810000 + 1600000 + 1200000 = 7310000 = Rs. 73.1 lakh
