The production costs of building a Kimo boat are $L for labour $M for materials $H for overheads In 2020, the total of the production costs for a Kimo boat was $120 000 where L:M:H = 5:3:2
Calculate the value of H in 2020 The production costs were different in 2021 from what they were in 2020 The labour costs had increased by 10% The cost of materials had increased by 5% The overheads had decreased by 4%
Calculate the percentage increase, from 2020 to 2021, in the total of the production costs of building a Kimo boat. Gordon bought a Kimo boat and sold it a year later for $360 000, making a loss of 25% on the price for which he bought the boat.
Calculate the price for which Gordon bought the boat. Gordon sold the boat to a friend living in Hungary. Gordon’s friend paid Gordon the $360 000 in Hungarian forints. Using exchange rates of £1 = $1.35 £1 = 388.50 Hungarian forints
change $360 000 to Hungarian forints.
4y – 3x = 6 –3 ≤ x ≤ 4
