We have previously calculated the turnover in 2013-2014 from purchase made by the government to be $11 mn = a.
To find the contribution to turnover from contractors, we only need to consider only the sale of Dynapac since there is no purchase of Backhoe and Cranes by contractors.
Total turnover in 2013-2014 of XYZ = $100 mn
Thus, turnover from the sale of Dynapac = 10% of $100 mn = $10 mn
Turnover from the sale of Dynapac by purchase from contractors = 60% of $10 mn = $6 mn = b
Thus, the required ratio
\(=\frac{a}{b}=\frac{11}{6} <2\)
