B. 234000

D. 44100

Answer 1

Hint: We will add all the expenditure that Ann had spent in order to purchase the car, the expenditure includes the cost of car, registration charges as well as the transportation charges and their sum will give us the total amount that she spent.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We have been given that Ann bought a new car for Rs.15000 and spent Rs.4000 for registration and transportation for Rs.2000. So, we have to find the total amount she spent including the overhead charges.
We know that, we will get the total amount spent by Ann by adding all the expenditure that she has done while purchasing the car.
So, we will have to add the price of car, registration charges as well as the transportation charges to get the total amount.
\[\begin{align}
  & \text{Total amount = Cars price + Registration charge + Transportation charge} \\
 & \Rightarrow 150000+4000+2000 \\
 & \Rightarrow Rs.156000 \\
\end{align}\]
Hence, the total amount that Ann spent including the overhead charges is Rs.156000
Therefore, the correct option is A.

Note: Remember that, the total amount is the sum of all the expenditure or money that you have spent during any purchasing or any operation you have performed. Sometimes students do not understand the term ‘overhead charges’. Overhead charges are those extra charges that a buyer incurs while purchasing an item. The cost price of the item is not included in the overhead charges. So, if we are asked for the total cost of an item, it includes the cost price and the overhead charges. Common overhead charges are transportation charges, maintenance charges, and so on.
