If the imports of Company A in 1997 were increased by 40%, what would be the ratio of exports to the increased imports?
1.25
In 1997 for Company A:
EI=1.75→ E=1.751 [where E = amount of exports and I = amount of imports of Company A in 1997]
Now, the required imports I1 = I + 40% of I = 1.41
∴ Required ratio =EI1=1.7511.41=1.25
