Neha runs a bakery shop and recently invested in new baking equipment costing ₹300,000. She also spent ₹150,000 on ingredients and initial stock. Neha sells cakes and pastries, marking up the prices by 40%. Due to a festive season, she offers a 15% discount on all items. To further expand her business, Neha took a loan of ₹200,000 from a bank at an interest rate of 10% per annum, compounded annually. She employs two bakers to help her. The first baker can bake 30 cakes in 10 hours, while the second baker can bake the same number in 15 hours. They work together for a certain period and then the first baker continues alone to complete the baking of 60 cakes.
