For the Glasgow 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.
92)

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

By how much would the total 3rd Party Bookings in 2004 have to be increased to generate the same revenue from web-based bookings as was made via the Direct Bookings route? (Assume the Total to Web-based bookings ratio remains the same for both routes).

 

Correct answer: C

Explanation
If the total to web-based bookings ratio remains the same, considering 3rd party booking, the ratio 
of 1:10 will remain constant.
Increasing the total booking to 525 implies a 225 increase. This corresponds to 22.5 increase of
web-based booking for same year (bearing in mind that the 1:10 is constant).
95)
