Question:
In a manufacturing unit, raw material passes through four processes, I, II, III, and IV and the output of each process is the input for the subsequent process. The losses in the four processes are respectively 25%, 20%, 20% and 16 2/3 % respectively for I, II, III and IV processes of the input. If the end product at the end of the IV process is 40,000 kg, what is the quantity of raw material required to be fed at the beginning of Process I and the cost of the same at Rs. 5 per kg?
