If each Level 1 course takes a maximum of 29 staff and costs £1,170 to run, how much would it
cost to get to the position where 90% of the organisation’s staff are qualified at Level 1 or 
higher

(assuming unqualified staff must start with a Level 1 course and that all staff who take the course
achieve the Level 1 qualification)?
 

Correct answer: D

Explanation
Currently, 84% of the organization staff are qualified at level 1 or higher
=> 0.84 x 2900
= 2494
90% of the organization’s staff = 2610
To get to the position where 90% of the organization’s staff are qualified at level one or higher, 
then we need to train more 2610 - 2494 = 116 staff at level 1.
Level 1 course cost 1170 for 29 staff. Training 116 staff will cost 116/29 x 1170
= 4,68
152)

Correct answer: A

Explanation
% representing no qualification = 14% Number of staff in the organization = 2,900
Number of staff with no qualification = 14% of 2900
= 40

By how much is the annual spend on Photocopier PHTCPR01 likely to exceed that of
Photocopier PHTCPR02 if the current spend recorded between January and June is a true reflection of 
actual service and running costs?
 

Correct answer: C

Difference in actual spend = [(1,872 + 1,968) -(1,975 + 1,425)] x 2(multiply by 2 because jan to
june is half year)
= $88
154)

By what proportion should the service and running costs for Photocopier PHTCPR05 be
increased next year if the actual spend recorded between January and June is a true reflection of 
service and running costs?
 

 

Correct answer: D

Explanation
We calculate the percentage difference between the actual spend (to June) and the expected average 
spend (to June) for Photocopier PHTCPR05:
Percentage difference = (2,716 + 2,772) -(140x26)/ (140 x 26)] x 100%
= 50.8%
155)

On which photocopier is there the least amount of budget left to spend this year?

 

Correct answer: E

Explanation
Cost per year for PHTCPR1 = 120 x 52 = 6240 Actual spend = 1872 + 1968 = 3840
Budget left = 6240 - 3840 = 2400 Budget left for PHTCPR2 = 3100 PHTCPR3 = 2496
PHTCPR4 = 3808
PHTCPR5 = 1792
PHTCPR6 = 2765
Clearly, PHTCPR5 has the lease amount of budget left to spend.
