    Hello!

    My question is: why did they compute the revenue figure this way?

    Food (15000)*(360) (8)*(0.3) (1.03) * (1.03)

    I do understand the concept that 15000 are the number of visitors, 360 days per year, and the twice 1.03 refer to the inflation in Year 2.

    But I don’t understand the 8 * 0.3 part.

    The profit (we are told) is 30%. Now is it profit of cost or revenue?

    And is $8 the cost of food for the visitors and revenue for us (the company)?

    I hope you understood my query, and please guide me for it.

    Thank you.

    The question says that the average visitor spends $8 on food.
    Therefore it is the cost to the visitor and therefore revenue for the company.

    It also says ‘$8 on food and drinks of which 30% is profit’. The profit to the company is therefore 30% x $8, and it is the profit that is relevant for our calculations – the revenue less the costs.
