BBP ACCA Revision Kit Q340 Bridgewater Co Part B Revised Forecasts

Could not understand the workings for the following: Additional training costs Additional room hire Additional staff training Software
John MoffatJohn MoffatTutor5y ago#1
Trainer costs: Given that sales increase by 20% and they are keeping the same class sizes, they will need to spend an extra 20% on trainers Room hire: Same as above. 20% more training means 20% more room hire. Staff training: The question specifically says that staff training costing $500 is needed in quarters 1 and 2. Software: The question specifically says that demo programs are bought for $1,800 in quarter 1.

Understood for staff training and software However the trainer cost and Room hire in the answer give the figures $200 and $100 respectively, can you please advice ?

The 200 and 100 are irrelevant. The total cost is 20% higher for the reasons I explained in my previous reply.
