ITTRAIN (BPP Question)

Hello! My query is how did the examiner arrive at the figures for number of courses? It says that it is derived from AQT, but I don't see where they had showed these figures. Please help. Thank you in advance.

The third paragraph says: 'Marco has scheduled 40 courses next year'. The analysis in the answer shows that this will not be enough to breakeven.

Ok. I agree with you that its stated in the case ‘Marco has scheduled 40 courses next year.' But I don't understand how the figures 150,210,etc were arrived at? Please help. Thank you.

These are statistics that have been collected by Marcus. "Figure 1 shows the data he collected showing the attendance pattern he collected over 1,000 courses"

Oh.. I understand where the problem came. I'm using the BPP kit (of previous version) so it didn't contain this table. Upon looking at this question online from other sources, is when I saw the table in the question. Thank you Sir.

No problem. Bit of a serious omission!
