and to calculate the absolute number of (56,600,000 (total population) / 1000) x 11.8 = 667,880 The number of births is 84,900 higher than the number of deaths.

5. The correct answer is E No change. This question requires you to look at the Production of 15mm Buttons chart. We must calculate the total sales value of November and Octobers button production. The process for calculating each of these figures is the same. To calculate the total sales value of Octobers button production: (80,000 (standard button production) / 100) x 5.70 (value of 100 standard buttons) = 4,560 + (20,000 (sub-standard button production) / 100) x 2.85 (value of 100 sub-standard buttons) =570 = 5,130 (total sales value October) and for November: (85,000 (standard button production) / 100) x 5.70 (value of 100 standard buttons) = 4,845 + (10,000 (sub-standard button production) / 100) x 2.85 (value of 100 sub-standard buttons) =285 = 5,130 (total sales value November) Therefore the total sales value of Novembers button production is the same as the total sales value of Octobers button production. 6. According to reveal answer: The correct answer is C 2,137.50. Accordion to reveal tips: This question requires you to look at the Productio n of 15mm Buttons chart. We must calculate the difference between the total sales value for each month, had all the buttons produced been of standard quality, and the actual total sales value for that month, and then add up the figures across all the months. As an example, consider July. The actual total sales value of buttons produced is calculated thus: (60,000 (standard button production) / 100) x 5.70 (value of 100 standard buttons) = 3,420 + (10,000 (sub-standard button production) / 100) x 2.85 (value of 100 sub-standard buttons) =285 = 3,705 (total sales value July) The total sales value, if all the buttons produced had been of standard quality, is calculated thus: (70,000 (standard button production) / 100) x 5.70 (value of 100 standard buttons) = 3,990 The difference between these figures is the loss in potential sales revenue attributable to the production of sub-standard buttons for July (285). Following the same process for the other months: Loss in potential sales revenue August = 142.50 Loss in potential sales revenue September = 570
Loss in potential sales revenue October = 570 Loss in potential sales revenue November = 285 Loss in potential sales revenue December = 285 Which gives a total loss in potential sales revenue for the six month period of 2137.5.
