Compute the following selling price for the follwing item: Basic cost CST @ 4% on basic cost fr..

Answer / chalapathi rao govada

Lack of Basic cost info in the given problem it is assumed
that base cost is 10000 and solved the problem.

Basic cost = 10000
Add: CST @4% = 400
Add: Frieght and insurance = 200

Total Base cost = 10600

Add: Profit@15% on SP = 1871
(10600*15/85)

Selling price = 12471.

Logic:

In the problem profit is given as a percentage of sale
price.if the selling price is 100, profit at 15% on selling
price is equals to 85.

Which means the total base cost is equals to 85 and profit
is equals to 15 and total selling price is equals to 100.
Which i considered as a calcualtion part for deriving the
profit figure.

Base cost is Rs. 10600 as mentioned in the above answer.

So profit =12471*15% =1871(rounded off)
