The gross profit was determined by deducting the primary cost plus the cost of miscellaneous expenses of Rs 1200. The managing director's salary of Rs 500 per annum plus 2% of annual sales is a minimum cost. What is the percentage profit on a capital investment of Rs 20000?

Primary cost = 3800
GP = 15200 - 3800 - 1200 = 10200
Leading Cost = 2040

Profit after leading cost = 8160

MD Salary = 500 + 300 = 800

FInal profit = 7360

7360 of 20000 = 38%
