a profit of `5 per unit of type A and `3 per unit of type B. Each product
is processed on two machines, M1 and M2. One unit of type A requires
one minute of processing time on M1 and two minutes of processing
time on M2, whereas one unit of type B requires one minute of
processing time on M1 and one minute on M2.Machines M1 and M2

compounded half yearly find the cash price. [5]

date of maturity of the bill. [5]

(b) A firm knows that the demand function for one of its products is linear.
It also knows that it can sell 1000 units when the price is ` 4 per unit,
and it can sell 1500 units when the price is ` 2 per unit.
Determine: (i) the demand function,
(ii) the total revenue,
(iii) The marginal revenue function. [5]
Question 15

(a) With price index of 2001 as 100, the cost of living index for 2006 is 160 and
2007 is 192. The salary of an employee increased from ` 20,000 in 2006 to
` 2100 in 2007. Find whether the real income in 2007 has increased or
decreased as compared to 2006. Also calculate if any extra dearness
allowance should be paid to him to compensate for loss. Also calculate
purchasing power of rupee in 2006 and 2007.
[5]

2009 83 52 49 81
2010 94 60 48 79

Draw a graph illustrating these figures. Calculate the 4 quarterly moving averages
and plot them on the same graph.

Comment briefly on a local politician’s claim that traffic offences were on the
increase.
