Question : Assertion A: The average business profit of the firm is Rs 5,00,000. The capital employed in the business is Rs 50,00,000. If the normal rate of return is 8%, the super profit will be Rs 1,00,000.
Reason R:- super profit is the excess of Average profits over the normal profits. capital employed is Rs 50,00,000 and 8% is the expected return, the expected normal profit will be Rs 4,00,000. Since the normal profit is Rs 5,00,000. The super profit will be Rs 1,00,000.
In the context of the above two statements which of the following is correct?
Option 1: Assertion A and Reason R are correct but the reason R is not the correct explanation of Assertion A
Option 2: Both assertion A and reason R are correct and reason R is the correct explanation of Asseration A
Option 3: Assertion A is correct but reason R is not correct
Option 4: Both Assertion A and reason R are incorrect .
Correct Answer: Both assertion A and reason R are correct and reason R is the correct explanation of Asseration A
Solution : Answer = Both Assertion A and reason R are correct and reason R is the correct explanation of Assertion A
Assertion A states that the super profit is Rs 1,00,000, which is derived from the excess of average profits over the normal profits. Reason R provides the calculation supporting Assertion A, establishing the relationship between capital employed, expected return, and normal profit.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
