Solution

Cost price =Rs. 12000, overhead charges =Rs. 2850

Total cost price =Rs(12000+2850)=Rs. 14850

Selling Price =Rs. 13860

Selling Price < Cost Price
Loss

Loss = Cost price Selling price

Loss =Rs. (1485013860)=Rs. 990


Loss percent =LossCost Price×100%

Loss percent =99014850×100%=6.67%

So, Ravi incurred a loss of 6.67%.
