    Sorry – I really do want to help – but it seems that you must be using a past edition of the BPP Kit (because there is no question 18.6 in the current edition. Question 18 is a full question.)

    I would guess that the question you are referring to is in the current edition somewhere but with a different number. If you type the first few words of the question then I will try and find it.

    A manufacturing company has the following monthly budget

    sales 480,000
    dir.mat 140,000
    dir.labour 110,000
    VO 50,000
    FO 130,000
    profit 50,000

    Hope you will find it, thanks

    I have found it 🙂

    It is because the sales are higher by 15% and so if they sell and produce 15% more, then they will need 15% more labour hours (and those extra 15% hours will need to be paid at the higher pay, so 50% more for these hours).
