Question 1

What was the government's turnover in the Pacific Rim (in £100,000) if the profit to turnover ratio for contracts in the region was 2:15?

Accepted Answer

270

Answer

To solve this, one would need the government's profit figure for contracts in the Pacific Rim, which would be available in the accompanying data. Assuming a profit figure (e.g., £3,600,000, or 36 in £100,000 units), the turnover can be calculated using the given profit to turnover ratio of 2:15. If Profit / Turnover = 2/15, then Turnover = Profit * (15/2). For example, if profit was 36 (£100,000), Turnover = 36 * (15/2) = 18 * 15 = 270 (£100,000).

Question 2

Reyes Heslop set a goal for Leisure profits to represent 25% of overall profits. How far short of this goal did the Leisure profits fall, assuming that other profit margins remained the same?

Accepted Answer

£3.2 million

Answer

To determine the shortfall, one would first need the actual Leisure profits and the total overall profits from the provided data. The goal is to calculate 25% of the overall profits, which represents the target Leisure profit. Then, subtract the actual Leisure profit from this target to find the difference, indicating how far short the Leisure profits fell from the set goal. The calculation would reveal a difference of £3.2 million.

Question 3

5 Legal sector spending on IT hardware, software, and consulting is expected to increase by the same amount in Year 6 as it did in Year 4. Assuming this is correct, how much money will the legal sector spend in Year 6 on these three IT areas combined?

Accepted Answer

£110 million

Answer

To calculate the Year 6 spending, one must first determine the absolute increase in spending for IT hardware, software, and consulting in the legal sector during Year 4 (i.e., the difference between Year 4 and Year 3 spending, which would be in the provided data). This calculated increase amount should then be added to the projected spending for Year 5. Following this method, the combined spending for Year 6 would be £110 million.

Question 4

Which of the following statements about spending in the legal sector between Year 4 and the projected Year 5 is not true?

Accepted Answer

£3.2 million

Answer

This question is phrased unusually as its options are monetary values rather than statements. However, assuming the question asks to identify a value that is *not* a true statement about legal sector spending between Year 4 and Year 5, the correct answer of £3.2 million suggests this figure does not accurately describe any aspect of that spending. It's plausible that £3.2 million is a correct figure for a different category (e.g., Leisure profits shortfall from Q9), making any statement linking it directly to legal sector spending between Year 4 and Year 5 incorrect.

Question 5

A car dealership wants to purchase an equal number of Taber and Ursa vehicles and has £600,000 to spend. How many of a given type of car can be ordered in total?

Accepted Answer

21

Answer

To solve this, one would need the individual prices of a Taber vehicle and an Ursa vehicle, which would be available in the accompanying data. First, sum the cost of one Taber and one Ursa car. Then, divide the total budget of £600,000 by this combined cost to find out how many pairs of cars (and thus how many of each type) can be purchased. The calculation would yield 21 cars of each type.
