2. Suppose a company buys two types of band saw machines for cutting steel
ingots brought in by customers to dimension namely, Manual and Automatic, taking
loan from a bank to be paid back in 24 equal monthly instalments. From figures
given below for each machine, compute the amount of profit/machine the company
can earn from each type of machine in 2 years by cutting ingots for 200
hours/month assuming enough demand such that the machines cut every day
neglecting times for maintenance.
Manual Automatic
Cost ₹10,00,000 ₹20,00,000
Manpower 6 (@₹30000/month) 2(@₹40000/month)
Average energy 3 kW 4 kW
consumption
( Rs10/kWh)
Rate of annual simple 20% /yr 20%/yr
interest to be applied
on the borrowed
amount
Cost of saw/month ₹ 10,000 ₹ 30,000
Number of products 10
3
manufactured/hr
Cutting charge /ingot ₹ 1000 ₹1000
Answer: (c)
Manual Automatic
Cost of the Machine ₹ 10,00,000/- ₹ 20,00,000/-
Salary of employees (6 × 24 × 30,000) (2 × 24 × 40,000)
= ₹ 4,32,000/- = ₹ 19,20,000/-
Total cost of energy (200 × 24 × 3 × 10) (200 × 24 × 4 × 10)
= ₹ 1,44,000/- = ₹ 1,92,000/-
Total interest (10,00,000 × 0.2 × 2) (20,00,000 × 0.2 × 2)
= ₹ 4,00,000/- = ₹ 8,00,000/-
Total cost of saw (24 × 10,000) (24 × 30,000)
= ₹ 2,40,000/- = ₹ 7,20,000/-
Total cost price ₹ 61,04,000/- ₹ 56,32,000/-
Total selling price (200 × 24 × 3 × 1000) (200 × 24 × 10 × 1000)
= ₹ 1,44,00,000/- = ₹ 4,80,00,000/-
Total profit (₹ 1,44,00,000 - ₹ 61,04,000) (₹4,80,00,000 - ₹ 56,32,000)
= ₹ 82,96,000/- = ₹ 4,23,68,000/-
