hi Gromit
Required:
(a) Suggest a pricing strategy for iTTrain, including an evaluation of the initial price of $750 per delegate suggested by Marco. Your strategy should include both financial and non-financial considerations. (16 marks)
the model answer for this question has a table showing a calculation of expected contribution using AQT figures. My question is, could points have been earned without such a table?
eg. by making the point that he would have to offer the same discounts that AQT offered and the host sites, the cap of 40 course available
May 28, 2015 at 6:14 pm #249955Yes, points could certainly earned without constructing the table. You have to bear in mind that there are 16 marks for this, so you have to say quite a bit. 16 marks – 29 minutes.

Could please explain to me how they arrived at the probability figures?
I can’t figure it out.
Thank you.
December 2, 2015 at 7:39 am #286887They have data about 1000 courses. 150 of those have 3 delegates so the probability of a course having just 3 delegates is 150/1000 = 0.15
Similarly, the probability of 4 delegates is 210/1000 = 0.21
etc.
