  • Options
  • A. 1998
  • B. 1995
  • C. 1996
  • D. 1997

  • Correct Answer
  • 1995 

    Explanation

    As we know the formula,
    Profit = Sales - Expenses
    Solve option one by one.
    Option (A) in year 1998
    Profit in year 1998 = Sales in 1998 - Expenses in 1998
    Profit in year 1998 = 800 - 700 = 100
    Capital in year 1998 = 200 (As per given graph)
    Ratio of profit to capital in year = 100 / 200 = 0.5

    Similarly Option (B) in year 1995
    Profit in year 1995 = Sales in 1995 - Expenses in 1995
    Profit in year 1995 = 500 - 400 = 100
    Capital in year 1995 = 100 (As per given graph)
    Ratio of profit to capital in year = 100 / 100 = 1

    Similarly Option (C) in year 1996
    Loss in year 1996 = Sales in 1996 - Expenses in 1996
    Loss in year 1996 = 500 - 400 = 100
    Profit in year 1996 = 500 - 400 = - 100
    Capital in year 1996 = 100 (As per given graph)
    Ratio of profit to capital in year = - 100 / 100 = -1

    Similarly Option (D) in year 1997
    Loss in year 1997 = Sales in 1997 - Expenses in 1997
    Loss in year 1997 = 600 - 400 = 200
    Profit in year 1997 = 600 - 400 = - 200
    Capital in year 1997 = 200 (As per given graph)
    Ratio of profit to capital in year 1997 = Profit / Capital
    Ratio of profit to capital in year 1997 = - 200 / 200 = -1

    As we can see the year 1995 has the highest ratio for Profit to capital.
