3y ago#1We need the breakdown of the total overhead cost between centre hire, enquiries admin, and brochures (as indeed are given in the original question in the BPP book).
Thank you Sir, i will make sure to look through BPP book, i am using Kaplan book now, although it has the solution and has used the breakdown of the overhead cost at the answer section, but it didn't provide the data in the question. that's why i was confused.
