Data Interpretation 1

Mr. Hoola Boola is facing a decision problem. He has excellent training products but is not sure about the demand for his products. He wants to set up a training center to provide training programmes of Sr. Executive, Jr. executive and non-executive level. His financial advisor Mr. Balmas told him that if he wants to set up a non-executive level training centre, the total cost would be on two counts—the first would be a fixed cost which is 2 lakh per annum. Besides, it would also entail a variable cost of training per candidate. This would be 1,000 per candidate trained. He further estimated that if a training centre is set up for conducting Jr. executive and nonexecutive level training programm, the total fixed cost would be Rs 3.2 lakh per annum and the cost of training per candidate will be 750. Mr. Balmas motivates Mr. Hoola to set up a combined training center for Sr. executive, Jr. executive and non-executive, the fixed cost of which is 5 lakh per annum and the cost of providing training per candidate is 500
