For activity one i got the following:

•

Employed by Laura-Elle perfumes

•

Key decision to work out the whole sale price

•

In order to maximise profit

•

Also work out how much ingredients to buy for Steve

•

And how much perfume to make

•

Model created by Laura but is incomplete

•

Information given from department chain survey

•

Information given from Steve on ingredient cost and recipe

•

Information given from Rob on ingredient cost

•

Profit could also depend upon packaging/delivery or production

thanks a lot ace101

Does everyone else use trial and error when finding the optimal wholesale price?

I have so far and my maximum profit is £2,585,000 (approx.)

What is everyone elses?

Also, when finding the number of each perfume needed, is it just simply number of batches multiplied by number of bottles in each batch for each perfume? (one of the decisions you have to make for steve is the number of each perfume required)

I got a maximum of £2,725,653.12
I got this by seeing which one give the highest price by multiplying the Batches required at various Prices by Cost in GBP in the Survey Statistics sheet for each perfume.

yeah i think it would be Number of Batches x 100.

I got around £2,300,000 , but that was with the same wholesale price for the whole range.

I dont think in the exam we will have time to find the various prices if the data changes,

am I wrong? Does the input data change (the survey data)?

I can't be bothered to go and get my USB pen to check the exact number, but I know my best profit on Friday was just above 2.8 million. Took me a while though, I don't think I'll have time to get it as precise as that in the exam - I was trying prices by the penny.

yeah the data files will change, but there are marks that you can get for getting a certain amount of profit.

Activity 5 – Evaluation
Write an evaluation of your solution that you have found.

What graph have you come up with ?
