N6,700 N5,500 Sales value of department Q doubles that of p, which is 1/3 of R. Depreciation which amounts to N1,800 is to be apportioned among the three departments in the ratio 3:5:7 respectively. What is the sales value of department R?
A. N7,800 B. N11,700 C. N23,400 D. N35,100
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
sales volume of Q = 23,400 If sales volume of Q doubles that of p which is \(\frac{1}{3}\) of R we have; for P = 23,400 ÷ 2p p = \(\frac{23,400}{2}\) = 11,700 Since R is \(\frac{1}{3}\) of P, hence we have, R= 1/3P R = 3 x P R = \(\frac{3}\times{11700}\) = 35,100 Â
