Hello,
can you please explain why when calculating materials:
* they have 0.6 for cut (but question said : The cost of cleaning products applied when washing the hair is $0·60 per client. , so why put them as cut cost?)
* they have $8 for treatment (The cost of all additional products applied during a ‘treatment’ is $7·40 per client…, so why they add 0.6 here?)
Thank you in advance,
The second paragraph of the question says that all customers have their hair washed, and then carry on either having it cut or having a treatment.
So the cost of the material for washing will be incurred whether it is a cut or whether it is a treatment.
The $7.40 is the cost of additional products for a treatment, and so they will not include the cost of the washing – that is extra.
Thank you!
I must say that this was tricky question.
On my opinion, this part is only here so we could make mistake.
Bravo for ACCA.

You are welcome 🙂
