Question: The Brand building points of Saha H/W is 85, and Mr. Saha the proprietor of the store wants to redeem a Kanjivaram Saree the next quarter by carrying forward the points accumulated this quarter to the next quarter. The sales target of Saha H/W is 25,000 units in the next quarter. It is assumed the brand building points for the next quarter is also going to be 85. How many extra units Saha H/W has to sell in order to get the Kanjivaram Saree?
Explanation:
Brand building points of Saha H/W = 85.
Since Saha H/W had achieved more than 100% of the sales target, they get 15 points for the sales.
Also, they sold 512 extra units and so get 512 × 0.25 = 128 extra points.
Saha H/W will get 85 points again for brand building in the next quarter.
Also, since Saha H/W will have to sell extra units, it would have achieved more than 100% of the sales.
Therefore, it will also get 15 points for achieving 100% sales.
Therefore, excluding the extra points earned next quarter, the total points for Saha H/W at the end of next quarter are
85 + 15 + 128 + 85 + 15 = 328
To redeem a Kanjivaram saree, Saha H/W must have 4000 points.
Hence, the extra points that need to be earned in the second quarter = 4000 ‒ 328 = 3672
For every extra sale, Saha H/W gets 0.25 points.
Therefore, to get 3672 extra points, the extra sales should be 3672 × 4 = 14688
Hence, option (a).
