Question 1: A table shows quarterly sales (in $000s): Q1=320, Q2=410, Q3=380, Q4=450. What is the average quarterly sales figure?
- $380,000
- $385,000 (Correct answer)
- $390,000
- $400,000
Correct answer: $385,000
Sum = 1,560; average = 1,560 ÷ 4 = 390 ($000s) = $390,000.
Question 2: Currency exchange: 1 USD = 0.92 EUR. How many USD would you receive for 690 EUR?
- $635

Question 3: A manager earns a base salary of $90,000 plus a 15% bonus on any revenue above $500,000. If revenue is $800,000, what is total compensation?
- $130,500
- $135,000 (Correct answer)
- $127,500
- $120,000
Correct answer: $135,000
Bonus = 15% × ($800,000 − $500,000) = 15% × $300,000 = $45,000; total = $90,000 + $45,000 = $135,000.
