• A. Azra, Bysi, Cxqi
• B. Bysi, Cxqi, Dipq
• C. Cxqi, Azra, Dipq
• D. Azra, Bysi, Dipq

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To determine which brand had the highest revenue in 2016, we need to calculate the revenue for each brand using the formula:

Revenue = Market Share (%) × Unit Selling Price 

First, convert the market share percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. Now, compute the revenue for each brand:

• Azra: Revenue = 0.40 × 15,000 = Rs. 6,000
• Bysi: Revenue = 0.25 × 20,000 = Rs. 5,000
• Cxqi: Revenue = 0.15 × 30,000 = Rs. 4,500
• Dipq: Revenue = 0.20 × 25,000 = Rs. 5,000

The brand with the highest revenue in 2016 is Azra with Rs. 6,000.

Answer 2

To determine which brand had the highest profit in 2016, we need to calculate the profit for each brand using the data provided. Profit can be calculated using the formula:

Profit = Revenue × Profitability 

Where:

Revenue = Market Share × Unit Selling Price

Let's calculate for each brand:

1. Azra:

Revenue = 40% × 15,000 = 6,000

Profit = 6,000 × 10% = 600

2. Bysi:

Revenue = 25% × 20,000 = 5,000

Profit = 5,000 × 30% = 1,500

3. Cxqi:

Revenue = 15% × 30,000 = 4,500

Profit = 4,500 × 40% = 1,800

4. Dipq:

Revenue = 20% × 25,000 = 5,000

Profit = 5,000 × 30% = 1,500

Comparing the profit values, Cxqi has the highest profit at 1,800.

Answer 3

To determine which brand had the highest profit in 2017, we first need to calculate the profit for each brand using the formula:
Profit = (Revenue × Profitability)
Revenue = (Market Share × Total Sales Volume × Unit Selling Price)
Given:

• Total Sales Volume in 2017 = 1.4 × Total Sales Volume in 2016
• "Cxqi" offered a 40% discount, increasing its market share by 15%, while other brands' market share decreased by 5%

Let's assume the total sales volume in 2016 as 100 units (for simplicity), thus in 2017, it becomes 140 units.

Calculations for 2017:

1. Azra:
   • Market Share = 35%
   • Unit Selling Price = Rs. 15,000
   • Profitability = 10%
   • Revenue = 35% × 140 × 15,000
   • Profit = 0.1 × (35% × 140 × 15,000)
2. Bysi:
   • Market Share = 20%
   • Unit Selling Price = Rs. 20,000
   • Profitability = 30%
   • Revenue = 20% × 140 × 20,000
   • Profit = 0.3 × (20% × 140 × 20,000)
3. Cxqi:
   • Market Share = 30%
   • Discounted Unit Selling Price = 30,000 × 0.6 = Rs. 18,000
   • Profitability Reducued to Half = 20%
   • Revenue = 30% × 140 × 18,000
   • Profit = 0.2 × (30% × 140 × 18,000)
4. Dipq:
   • Market Share = 15%
   • Unit Selling Price = Rs. 25,000
   • Profitability = 30%
   • Revenue = 15% × 140 × 25,000
   • Profit = 0.3 × (15% × 140 × 25,000)

Calculation Details:

• Azra Profit = 0.1 × (0.35 × 140 × 15,000) = Rs. 735,000
• Bysi Profit = 0.3 × (0.2 × 140 × 20,000) = Rs. 1,680,000
• Cxqi Profit = 0.2 × (0.3 × 140 × 18,000) = Rs. 1,512,000
• Dipq Profit = 0.3 × (0.15 × 140 × 25,000) = Rs. 1,575,000

Based on these calculations, the brand Bysi had the highest profit in 2017.

Answer 4

The question requires figuring out which brands' profits increased in 2017 compared to 2016. Here's how we deduce that:

1. Calculate total smartphones sold in 2016 and 2017. Assume 100 units were sold in 2016, then in 2017, sales increased by 40%, resulting in 140 units sold.
2. Determine the market shares in 2017:
   1. Azra: 40% - 5% = 35%
   2. Bysi: 25% - 5% = 20%
   3. Cxqi: 15% + 15% = 30%
   4. Dipq: 20% - 5% = 15%
3. Compute the number of units sold by each brand:
   1. Azra: 35% of 140 = 49 units
   2. Bysi: 20% of 140 = 28 units
   3. Cxqi: 30% of 140 = 42 units
   4. Dipq: 15% of 140 = 21 units
4. Calculate the revenue and profit for each brand in 2017:
   1. Azra Revenue: 49 units x Rs. 15,000 = Rs. 735,000
      Profitability: 10%
      Profit = 10% of Rs. 735,000 = Rs. 73,500
   2. Bysi Revenue: 28 units x Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 560,000
      Profitability: 30%
      Profit = 30% of Rs. 560,000 = Rs. 168,000
   3. Cxqi Revenue: 42 units x (60% of Rs. 30,000) = Rs. 756,000
      Profitability decreases to 20%
      Profit = 20% of Rs. 756,000 = Rs. 151,200
   4. Dipq Revenue: 21 units x Rs. 25,000 = Rs. 525,000
      Profitability: 30%
      Profit = 30% of Rs. 525,000 = Rs. 157,500
5. Comparing 2017 profits to 2016 profits (as per their individual profit and revenue lines calculated using respective selling prices and profitability):
   1. Azra's profit increased from Rs. 600,000 x 10% = Rs. 60,000
   2. Bysi's profit decreased from Rs. 1,000,000 x 30% = Rs. 300,000
   3. Cxqi's profit decreased from Rs. 450,000 x 40% = Rs. 180,000
   4. Dipq's profit increased from Rs. 500,000 x 30% = Rs. 150,000

Thus, the brands whose profits increased in 2017 are Azra and Dipq. Therefore, the complete list of brands whose profits went up in 2017 from 2016 is Azra, Bysi, Dipq.
