196)

Which two manufacturing plants have the same total maintenance costs per week?


Correct answer: E

Explanation
The maintenance cost of the manufacturing plants is as follows Mainlands = 2816
Bordeaux = 2790
Berlin = 2451
Amsterdam = 2799
Glasgow = 2704
Hence no two have the same maintenance cost

 
197)

What is the average annual cost for servicing each of the 5 manufacturing plants (assume 4
weeks in a month)?
 

 

Correct answer: E

Explanation
Average weekly servicing cost = (1050 + 1100 + 950 + 1025 + 875)/5 = 1000

Assuming there are 4 weeks in a month, then we have 48 weeks in a year.
Hence Average annual servicing cost = 1000 x 48 = 48,000
198)

For the Glasgo   manufacturing plant, which maintenance cost(s) represent approximately 7% of the total costs?

Correct answer: E

Explanation
Total Maintenances cost for Glasgow = 2704
Utilities = 189/2704 x 100 = 7% Rent = 300/2704 x 100 = 11%
Insurance = 195/2704 x 100 = 7.2 %-approximately 7%
Correct answer therefore is Insurance and Utilities.

 
199)

For which manufacturing plant(s) are the Administration: Rent costs in the ratio 12:5?
 

Correct answer: E

Explanation

Solving from one plant to another we have the Administration: Rent costs ratios as follows. Mainlands 650: 300 = 2.16: 1 = 10.8: 5 Bordeaux: 600:250 = 2.4: 1 = 12: 5 Berlin: 450: 275 = 1.6: 1 = 8.2: 5 Amsterdam = 525:350 = 1.5: 1 = 7.5: 5 Glasgow = 720: 300 = 2.4: 1 = 12: 5 Clearly the Administration: Rent costs ratios of Bordeaux and Glasgow is 12: 5

 
200)

Averaged across the Manufacturing Plants, put the aver ge values for each of the maintenance costs in decreasing size order, starting with the highest.
 

 

Correct answer: A

Explanation
Averaging and arranging the maintenance cost in descending order
we have Servicing, Administration, Misc., Rent, Insurance, Utilities
