A sports apparel company allocates 4% of its projected sales to promotion for a new sports shoe line. If the projected sales are Rs. 12 crore, what is the promotional budget required for this product line?
Answer
Rs. 48 lakh
The correct answer is Rs. 48 lakh — 0.48 crore equals Rs. 48 lakh.
Step-by-step solution
- Compute 4% of Rs. 12 crore.
- 4% = 0.04.
- 0.04 × 12 crore = 0.48 crore.
- 0.48 crore equals Rs. 48 lakh.
Common mistake: Confusing percent of sales with percent of profit, or mis‑calculating rupee conversion.
Concept tested: Promotional budgeting
