ITPEC IP April 2021 Question 72
ITPEC IP April 2021 — Question 72 of 100
The actual profit is 77% of the planned profit. Actual revenue is 1,350 × 1,100 = 1,485,000 yen. Actual purchase cost is 1,000 × 1,100 = 1,100,000 yen, so actual profit is 385,000 yen. The ratio is 385,000 ÷ 500,000 × 100 = 77%.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- multiplying the individual sales and quantity percentages does not by itself give profit performance
- profit must subtract total purchase cost from total sales revenue before comparison
Key rule: Calculate planned and actual profit separately using revenue minus cost, then divide actual profit by planned profit.
