If the sale price for a Faze laptop is $182.40 in the United States and 255.36 Euros in France, what is the sale price ratio for UK:US:France? (Use exchange rates of 1.2 Euros to the £; and 1.5$ to the £).

Answer : C

Explanation:

Step 1 – Use the exchange rates to calculate the sale prices in the US and
in France in £. US sale price = $182.40 /1.5 = £121.6
French sales price = 255.36 /1.2 = £212.8
Step 2 – The Faze sales price in the UK is 2/5 x £380. We now obtain a
ratio UK; US; France = 152:121.6:212.8
Step 3 – Simplify the ratio by dividing by the highest common denominator
(30.4) 152/30.4 : 121.6/30.4 : 212.8/30.4 = 5:4:7
Thus the correct answer is (C) 5:4:7
7)

Which of the following would generate the highest total amount at the sale prices shown?

Answer : A

Explanation:

Step 1 – Calculate the sales price for the 4 laptops that are listed as possible answer options, using the column giving sale price fraction of normal price;

Step 2 – Go through answer options (A) to (E) calculating the total amount
(A) 75 Adele laptops = 75 x 262.5 = £19,687.50
(B) 150 Adele laptops at a price further reduced by 60% = 40% x
150 x 262.5 = £15,750 (C) 50 Faze and 50 Stunn laptops = 50 x
(152 + 210) = £18,100
(D) 45 Brete laptops = 45 x 433.33 = £19,499.85 (E) 90 Stunn
laptops = 90 x 210 = £18,900.00

Thus the correct answer is (A) 75 Adele laptops

Step 2 – Divide total monthly sales by this number
220,000/2200 = 100

Thus the correct answer is (C) 100

For which laptop, or laptops, is the difference between the manufacturing cost and the design cost less than 20% of the manufacturing cost?

Answer : E

Explanation:

Faze (120 - 60)/120 = 50%

Brete (195 - 130)/195 = 33%
Adele (140 - 90)/140 = 36%
Stunn (145 - 115)/145 = 21%
Adelphi (165 - 60)/165 = 64%

Thus the correct answer is (E) None of these
