Given Net price of shirt = $20, Discount = 10%, List price will:
- A.
$22
- B.
$24
- C.
$26
- D.
$30
Correct Answer
A. $22Explanation
The list price of the shirt will be $22. This can be calculated by subtracting the discount amount from the net price. Since the discount is 10% of the net price, which is $20, the discount amount is $2. Subtracting $2 from the net price gives us $20 - $2 = $22, which is the list price of the shirt.Rate this question:

VDB returns the depreciation of an asset for:
- A.
Zero period
- B.
One period
- C.
Two period
- D.
Any arbitrary period
Correct Answer
D. Any arbitrary periodExplanation
VDB, which stands for Variable Declining Balance, is a function used in financial calculations to determine the depreciation of an asset. Unlike other depreciation methods that calculate depreciation for specific periods, VDB allows for depreciation to be calculated for any arbitrary period. This means that it can be used to determine depreciation for any desired time frame, regardless of whether it is a zero, one, two, or any other period. Therefore, the correct answer is that VDB can be used to calculate depreciation for any arbitrary period.Rate this question:

If the cost & selling price of a pen are Rs.12 & Rs.15 respectively, profit percentage is:
- A.
33.33%
- B.
25%
- C.
20%
- D.
10%
Correct Answer
B. 25%Explanation
The profit percentage can be calculated by subtracting the cost price from the selling price, and then dividing the result by the cost price. In this case, the profit is Rs.15 - Rs.12 = Rs.3. Dividing Rs.3 by Rs.12 and multiplying by 100 gives a profit percentage of 25%.Rate this question:

This example returns the depreciation for an asset that costs Rs. 10,000, with a salvage value of $8,000. The useful life of the asset is 5 years. The depreciation is being calculated for the third year, and there are 10 months in the first year.
- A.
=DB (10000, 5, 8000, 3, 10)
- B.
=DB (10000, 8000, 5, 10, 3)
- C.
=DB (10000, 8000, 5, 3, 10)
- D.
=DB (10000, 8000, 10, 3, 5)
Correct Answer
C. =DB (10000, 8000, 5, 3, 10)Explanation
The correct answer is =DB (10000, 8000, 5, 3, 10). This is the correct formula to calculate the depreciation for the given asset. The parameters in the formula are in the correct order and correspond to the cost of the asset, salvage value, useful life, period, and months. The formula will accurately calculate the depreciation for the third year considering the 10 months in the first year.Rate this question:

Write a formula to find the simple interest (I) if $5000 is invested at 4% for 2 years.
- A.
I=PRT
- B.
I=P+R+T
- C.
I=PT
- D.
I=P(R+T)
Correct Answer
A. I=PRTExplanation
The formula to find the simple interest is I = PRT, where I represents the interest, P represents the principal amount (in this case $5000), R represents the rate of interest (4%), and T represents the time period (2 years). By substituting the given values into the formula, we can calculate the simple interest.Rate this question:

Every percentage can be converted into:
- A.
Decimal
- B.
Ratio
- C.
Proportion
- D.
Both decimal & ratio
Correct Answer
D. Both decimal & ratioExplanation
Every percentage can be converted into both decimal and ratio formats. Converting a percentage to a decimal involves dividing the percentage value by 100. For example, 50% can be converted to 0.50 as a decimal. On the other hand, converting a percentage to a ratio involves expressing it as a fraction with a denominator of 100. For instance, 75% can be written as the ratio 75/100. Therefore, both decimal and ratio formats can be used to represent percentages.Rate this question:

Monthly installments of a leased car are calculated by using the techniques of:
- A.
Simple interest method
- B.
Compound interest method
- C.
Annuity
- D.
Hit & trial method
Correct Answer
B. Compound interest methodExplanation
The monthly installments of a leased car are calculated using the compound interest method. This method takes into account the principal amount, the interest rate, and the time period over which the installments will be paid. Compound interest is calculated by adding the interest earned to the principal amount, and then calculating interest on the new total for each time period. This ensures that the interest is compounded and the monthly installments are adjusted accordingly.Rate this question:

Suppose that you are spending 1500 dollars in an investment and Accumulated factor is 15 then Accumulated Value will be:
- A.
22550
- B.
22500
- C.
21000
- D.
22510
Correct Answer
B. 22500Explanation
The accumulated value of an investment can be calculated by multiplying the amount invested by the accumulated factor. In this case, the accumulated factor is 15, so multiplying 1500 dollars by 15 gives us an accumulated value of 22500 dollars.Rate this question:

What is the interest on Rs. 1600 for one year at the rate 3-1/2 %?
- A.
65
- B.
