We then combine these figures and subtract them from the total number of snow leopards to identify the number of snow leopards in other Asian countries. China = 6,590 x 0.34 = 2,240.6 = 2,241 Mongolia = 6,590 x 0.23 =1,515.7 = 1,516 India = 6,590 x 0.125 =823.75 = 824 Other Asian = 6,590 - (2241 + 1516 + 824) = 2,009 Step 2 – Calculate the number of wild Snow Leopards in China, Mongolia and India during 2012 by multiplying their numbers in 2003 by the percentage change in 2012. China = 2,241 x 1.16 =2599.56 = 2,600 Mongolia = 1,516 x 1.035 = 1,569.06 = 1,569 India = 824 x 0.971 = 800.104 = 800 Step 3 – Combine the 2012 wild Snow leopard populations from China, Mongolia, India, other Asian countries and the Zoo populations. 2,600 + 1,569 + 800 + 2,009 + 600 = 7,578 Thus the correct answer is (A) 7,578 Snow Leopards For personal use only.

Her latest contract requires to her to work from 8.30am till 5.45pm, for 15 billable days, with an extra 1 and a half hours overtime per day. Assuming Claire pays 30% in taxes on her income, how much will Claire earn from her latest contract after tax? (A) £2,568.75 (B) £2,863.50 (C) £3,010.00 (D) £3,205.50 (E) £3,307.50 Step 1 – Calculate the total income earned during Claire’s regular working hours by identifying how many hours she works, and multiplying this figure by her price per hour, and then the number of days worked. Working from 8.30am till 5:45, minus an hour for lunch = 8.25 working hours (8 hours 15 minutes) 8.25 x £30 = £247.50 £247.5 x 15 billable days = £3,712.50 Step 2 – Calculate the total overtime income earned by Claire by calculating the number of overtime hours worked and multiplying this figure by her price per hour. 1.5 x 15 = 22.5 hours of overtime 22.5 x (£30 x 1.5) = 22.5 x £45 = £1,012.50 Step 3 – Combine the income from Claire’s regular hours and from her overtime hours, and then decrease that number by 30% (multiply by 0.70) in order to subtract the tax. £3,712.50 + £1,012.50 = £4,725 £4,725 x 0.70 = £3,307.50 Thus the correct answer is (E) £3,307.50 For personal use only.

At the time of purchase, company A shares were valued at £2.82 per share, company B shares were valued at £1.92 per share and company C shares were valued at £2.78 per share. When Daniel sold his shares, company A and B shares had risen in value by 5% and 6% respectively, and the value of company C shares had dropped by 2%, how much profit did Daniel generate from selling his shares? (A) £24.89 (B) £27.07 (C) £29.64 (D) £32.45 (E) £34.89 Step 1 – Calculate the total value of Daniels shares at the time of purchase by multiplying the previous value of the shares by the number of shares owned. Company A = 170 x £2.82 = £479.40 Company B = 80 x £1.92 = £153.60 Company C = 110 x £2.78 = £305.80 Step 2 – Calculate the total value of Daniels shares at the point of sale by multiplying the previous total value of Daniels shares by their respective percentage increases. Company A = £479.40 x 1.05 = 503.37 Company B = £153.60 x 1.06 = 162.816 Company C = £305.80 x 0.98 = 299.684 Step 3 – Subtract the total value of the shares at the time of purchase from the total value of the shares at the point of sale to identify the profit generated from this transaction, and then combine the profit from these three transactions. Company A = £503.370 - £479.40 = £23.97 Company B = £162.816 - £153.60 = £9.216 Company C = £299.684 - £305.80 = -£6.116 £23.97 + £9.216 + -£6.116 = £27.07 Thus the correct answer is (B) £27.07 -- End of Test -- For personal use only.
