PASSAGE II (Questions 11 – 20)

In 1997 Mr. Deepak, a chemical engineer, began experimenting in his spare time with a new method for

processing fresh orange juice. By 2000, he had perfected the process to such an extent that he was ready to

begin production in a small way. His process enabled him to extract 18 percent more juice from oranges than

was typically extracted by a pressure juicer of the type currently used in cafes. His process also removed

some of the bitterness, which got into the juice from the peelings when oranges were squeezed without

peeling them.

Since many of the better quality restaurants preferred to serve fresh orange juice instead of canned or frozen

juice, Mr. Deepak believed he could find a ready market for his product. Another appeal of his product would

be that he could maintain more consistent juice flavor than haphazard restaurant juicing usually produced.

Mr. Deepak patented the process and then started production. Since his capital was limited, he began

production in a small building, which previously had been a woodworking shop. With the help of his brother,

Mr. Deepak marketed the juice through local restaurants. The juice was distributed in glass bottles, which

proved to be rather expensive because of high breakage. The new product was favourably accepted by the

public and the business proved to e a success.

Mr. Deepak began to receive larger and more frequent orders from his customers and their business

associates. In 2002, he quit his regular job in order to devote full time to his juice business. He soon reached

his capacity because of his inability to personally over a larger area with his pickup truck. Advertising was on a

small scale because of limited funds. Faced with the problems of glass bottle breakage and limited

advertisement and distribution, Mr. Deepak approached a regional food distributor for a solution Mr. Deepak

was offered a plan where by the distributor would advertise and distribute the product on the basis of 25

percent of gross sales. The distributor would assist Mr. Deepak in securing a loan from the local bank to

expand the production.

Before he had an opportunity to contact the bank to borrow money, Mr. Deepak was introduced to Mr. Sunil, a

plastics engineer, who produced plastic containers. Mr. Deepak mentioned his own problems in the expansion

of his business. Mr. Sunil wanted to finance expended juice production with the understanding that plastic

containers would be used for marketing the orange juice. He would lend the money interest free, but he was

to receive 40 percent of the net profits for the next ten years. Distribution and advertising agent for 25 percent

of gross sales. The principal on Mr. Sunil's invested money was to be repaid by Mr. Deepak on a basis of 10

percent of his share of the profits. Mr. Sunil was to retain an interest in the profits of the firm until the loan was

repaid, or at least for ten years.

Mr. Deepak's current sales were 10,000 litres of juice a month. If distribution could be expanded, sales could

be doubled, given the potential demand. Of the possible total sales of 20,000 a month, about 75 percent

would be sold to large restaurants and the reminder to small cafes and canteens. As soon as the juices were

bottled in plastic containers, sales could also be made to household consumers. Mr. Deepak was very

optimistic that sales to the final consumer through retail shops would succeed. Some initial contacts were

made with a local manager of a food chain supermarket. The manager was sure that he could sell 4,000 litres

a month through his outlets.

Mr. Deepak also calculated his potential profits. His goal was to increased sales while at the same time

earning a 10 percent rate of return on his prior capital investment in equipment and other assets. The present

value of Mr. Deepak's investment was Rs. 2,50,000. Of this sum, machinery and equipment were valued at

Rs. 1,00,000; building was worth Rs. 50,000 and his patent and know-how were valued at Rs. 1,00,000. On

the basis of this evaluation, Mr. Deepak desired a return of Rs. 25,000 above salaries and other expenses

after the first year of operation.

Both the regional distributor and Mr. Sunil believed that Mr. Deepak's sales could be increased to 15,000 litres

of juice per month by the end of the first year of expanded operations. However, the extent to which

production could be expanded to meet demand depended on the availability of plastic containers (which

would be supplied at factory cost under Mr. Sunil's proposal), and additional machinery. Increased market

coverage would be obtained both under the regional food distributor and Mr. Sunil's proposals. The critical

deciding factor, as Mr. Deepak understood, was which plan would maximize his return on investment beyond

the minimum figure of 10 percent.

PASSAGE I (Questions 21 – 30)

The concept of "standard of living" is a wide and multifaceted one. In the absence of comprehensive

measurement, it is commonly expressed empirically in terms of consumption or in terms of income.

One of the most comprehensive expressions of standard of living is total consumption over an extended

period, where consumption is defined not only as family purchases but also as (1) consumption of goods and

services produced by the family; (2) consumption of public services provided without payment; and (3)

consumption of goods and services received as compensation for labor, over and above wages and salary. It

may be assumed that total consumption is less subject to incidental fluctuations than income. Moreover, it

reflects not only current income but also past income and savings, windfalls, and expectations regarding

future income.

Current monetary income constitutes the main indictor for the standard of living; however, standard of living is

not determined solely by current income, but also by past income, accumulated assets and expectations for

future income. Moreover, the standard of living of a family is influenced by the value of the public services

from which it benefits and the rate of taxes which it has to pay.

In the period under review, the standard of living of families originating from Asia and Africa improved relative

to that of all families. This improvement found expression in higher income levels, better housing, higher

ownership rate of consumer durables and an increase in the proportion of families in higher income brackets.

However, even after the improvement in their relative position during the past decade, their average income is

still only 70% of the overall average for all families.

One of the important factors behind the income differential between families of African and Asian originals and

the rest of the populations is the level of education. In rent years the gap between these two groups has

narrowed among the younger generation, but it is still substantial. Unless the education gap is significantly

reduced between these two groups, other means employed in an attempt to produce more income equality

will be thwarted. More resources must be immediately put to the task of improving educational opportunities

for families of African and Asian origin, without of course, reducing the education facilities and opportunities

open to the rest of the population.

21. The author defines 'standard of living' in terms of

(a) Total goods and services produced (b) Consumption of goods and services

I. Past income II. Current Income III. Future income

(a) I only (b) II only (c) I and II only (d) I, II and III

(e) Neither I, II and III

23. Consumption is defined as

(a) Total family purchases

(b) Total family purchases plus goods and services produced by the family

(c) Public services provided by the state.

(d) Income minus expenditure on necessities

(e) Total family purchases plus other goods and services consumed

24. Between 1994 and 2000, average real income
(a) Remained stable

(b) Increased by about 5% annually

(c) Decreased slightly

(d) Decreased during the recession

(e) Decreased by 5% annually

25. According to the passage, between 1997 and 2000, income equality

(a) Declined among all strata

(b) Declined most significantly among lower income groups

28. It may be inferred that the author of the passage is an

(a) Engineer (b) Food specialist (c) Economist

(a) Only about equal to that of other groups

(b) About 70 percent of the overall national average

(c) Close to the national average, but slightly below

(d) About 50 percent of the national average

(e) About 25 percent of the national average

30. Between 1997 and 2000, the standard of living of the urban population
