If the amount spent on Hire Purchase agreements was increased by 20% across all five departments what would be the effect on the overall spend (if the overall spend was $2,000,000 originally)?

 


Correct answer: B

Explanation
If the total amount spent = 2,000,000

the total percentage of higher purchase agreement in all five departments 500% is the sum of all 
the percentages of the department.

becomes 175%.
New amount spent on higher purchase becomes (175/500) x 200,000 = 700,000
This is 40,000 higher
