Practice Questions: Decision Making - UCAT MCQ

Option C is the correct answer.

Magazine 3 generated higher revenue through its standard edition compared to its deluxe edition.

Revenue from the Normal Edition:

61 copies x £8.99 = £548.39 (Approximately estimated as 60 copies x £10 = £600)

Revenue from the Deluxe Edition:

27 copies x £13.99 = £377.73 (Approximately estimated as 30 copies x £14 = £420)

There were more sales of the deluxe edition than the normal copies.

Deluxe Edition sales: 29 + 25 + 27 = 81 copies

Normal Edition sales: 36 + 41 + 61 = 138 copies

Magazine 1 had greater overall popularity than Magazine 2.

Magazine 1 total sales: 36 + 29 = 65 copies

Magazine 2 total sales: 41 + 25 = 66 copies

There is no evidence of a general consensus among customers regarding the deluxe edition being more cost-effective.
