Can anybody tell me on what basis Total Cost in part A of the question is calculated in Examiner’s solution i mean why it is $2250
manual 20*3=60 which is alright, lunch 10*3=30 is ok
but why not Leturer and room cost is multiplied by 3, while it is clear in scenario that lecture cost is 450 per day and Room cost is 250 per day..in my view total cost in 1st row should be
(450X3days)+(250X3days)+(20*3delegates)+(10X3delegates)=$2190, while examiner states total cost as $2250 …Similar prob is with all rows(with other probabilities)i am also having difficulty in understanding this question !

Hi Ali,
I wish to clear your doubt if you don’t mind.
The cost are as follows. Room / day = 3 * 250 = 750
Lecturer / Day = 3 * 450 = 1,350
Lunch = 3 * 10 * 3 = 90
* Manual = 60TOTAL = 2,250
* The reason y we did not multiply the manual because $60 is for a full course of 3 days per delegate where as room , lecturer and lunch costs are for per delegate / day.
Alternative way of solving is :
(450+250+30) * 3 days = 2,190
2190 + 60 for manuals = 2250
Hope this has eased your confusion
Regards,
Shiraz
