Given that a customer uses the promotional offers shown, put the 5 products sold in non-European stores into order of increasing promotional price per unit (starting with the cheapest).

Answer : C

Explanation:

The information that we need is shown in the first table (non-European stores)
Step 1 – Calculate the 3 for the price of 2 promotional offers DE45 promotional price per unit = 2/3 x $175 = $116.67 PU20 promotional price per unit = 2/3 x $200 = $133.33
Step 2 – Calculate the 4 for the price of 3 promotional offers PU10 promotional price per unit = 3/4 x $150 = $112.50 FD24 promotional price per unit = 3/4 x $180 = $135.00
Step 3 – Put these promotional prices into order alongside the fifth product (AE25) priced at $130 and not on promotion

Thus the correct answer is (C) PU10, DE45, AE25, PU20, FD24
42)

Combining European and non-European sales, which products generated the highest number of product units sold? Use the non-promotional sales prices shown.

The information that you need is shown in both tables.

Step 1 – Calculate the number of sales per product (non-European stores)

Step 2 – Calculate the number of sales per product (European stores)
43)

This month’s combined target for non-European and European sales of AE25 is 40,000. Using an exchange rate of 0.75 to the $, what is the difference between the sales values shown and this target?

The information that you need is shown in both tables
Step 1 – Calculate AE25’s non-European sales in Euros
$13,000 x 0.75 = 9,750

Step 2 – Calculate AE25’s combined European and non-European sales
9,750 + 24,500 = 34,250
Step 3 – Calculate the discrepancy against target sales 40,000 - 34,250 = 5,750

Thus the correct answer is (D) 5,750
44)

What is the discrepancy (in $) between the AE25 price per product unit in non-European stores compared to European stores. Use an exchange rate of 0.80 to the $.

Answer : B

Explanation:

The information that you need is shown in both tables. Note from the possible answers it doesn’t matter which is the greater, we just need the difference. 

Tip: If you struggle with the term “ X to the $” and you sometimes multiply when you should divide by the conversion, think of an extreme example. So think of a two currencies that have very different strengths, for example Zimbabwean Dollar to the British Pound. It doesn’t matter what the values are but you know there are lots of ZWDs to the BGP and you also know that the same product will cost a lot more ZWDs than GBP. Hopefully that will help you decide if currency A should be a higher number than currency B, or vise versa.

Step 1 – Read from the table the AE25 price per product unit (non-European stores)= $130
Step 2 – Calculate the AE25 price per product unit (European stores) = 200 /0.80 = $250
Step 3 – Calculate the difference between the two $250 - $130 = $120
Thus the correct answer is (B) $120
45)

Which of the products shown had the lowest value of sales per non- European store and which had the highest value of sales per European store?

Answer : C

Explanation:

Step 1 – Calculate each product’s average sales per European store
DE45 = 21,000/26 = 808
PU20 = 30,000/19 = 1,579

AE25 = 24,500/11 = 2,227
PU10 = 18,700/9 = 2,078
FD24 = 14,700/13 = 1,131

Step 2 – Calculate each product’s average sales per non-European store
DE45 = 35,000/14 = 2,500
PU20 = 20,000/9 = 2,222
AE25 = 13,000/6 = 2,167
PU10 = 24,000/5 = 4,800
FD24 = 9,000/7 = 1,286

Thus the correct answer is (C) FD24 (non-European); AE25 (European)
