    Question

    A company buys raw materials for Rs. 10,000 and manufactures a product that costs an additional Rs.5,000 in labour and overhead. The product is sold to a distributor for Rs.25,000, who marks it up by 20% and sells it to a retailer. The retailer then marks it up by another 25% and sells it to the end customer. What is the overall percentage profit made by the company, distributor, and retailer combined?

    A.

    100%

    B.

    150%

    C.

    125%

    D.

    135%

    Correct option is B

    Total Production Cost = 10000+ 5000 = 15000
    Product is sold to a distributor for Rs.25,000
    Now, it marks up 20% and sold to the retailer at this price = 25000+ 20% of 25000 = Rs. 30000
    Again retailer marks up 25% and sold it to the customer at this price = 30000+ 25% of 30000 = 37500

    Overall Profit = 37500-15000= 22500

    Profit % = 2250015000×100=150%\frac{22500}{15000}\times 100 = 150\%​​
