Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Calculate the estimated expenditure for each category based on the total estimated expenditure of ₹2,50,000.
- Internet = 20% of 2,50,000 = 0.20 × 2,50,000 = ₹50,000
- Rent = 18% of 2,50,000 = 0.18 × 2,50,000 = ₹45,000
- Education = 16% of 2,50,000 = 0.16 × 2,50,000 = ₹40,000
- Transport = 18% of 2,50,000 = 0.18 × 2,50,000 = ₹45,000
- Food = 17% of 2,50,000 = 0.17 × 2,50,000 = ₹42,500
- Electricity = 11% of 2,50,000 = 0.11 × 2,50,000 = ₹27,500

Step 2: Adjust the actual expenditures for electricity and rent.
- Electricity actual = 10% more than estimated = 27,500 + 10% of 27,500 = 27,500 + 2,750 = ₹30,250
- Rent actual = 20% less than estimated = 45,000 - 20% of 45,000 = 45,000 - 9,000 = ₹36,000

Step 3: Other expenses remain the same.
- Internet = ₹50,000
- Education = ₹40,000
- Transport = ₹45,000
- Food = ₹42,500

Step 4: Calculate total actual expenditure.
Total = Internet + Rent actual + Education + Transport + Food + Electricity actual
= 50,000 + 36,000 + 40,000 + 45,000 + 42,500 + 30,250
= ₹2,43,750

Therefore, the total actual expenditure is ₹2,43,750.
