    I have worked it out at £1.50/1.25 hours = £1.20 per hour. This sounds right, but could anyone else help too as I am a little confused myself?

    Calculation is to divide the contribution per unit by the amount oflimiting factor used in making one unit. In your example £1.50 divided by 1 hour 15 mins = £1.20 contribution per hour.<BR><BR>Graham Blott

    Wow that's a bid of an odd one but here goes<BR><BR>Unit cost £1.50 = 1 hour 15 minutes<BR>or unit cost £1.50 = 75 minutes<BR>so divide £1.50 by 75 = .02p per minute<BR>x .02p by 60 minutes = £1.20<BR>by my reckoning thats a contribution of £1.20 per hour<BR>hope thats right and helps, could well be another way of working it out!<BR>Good luck with the exam I'm dreading it<BR>cheers<BR>Anne

    Thats what i get too -i try to remember it as the "per" being a dividing sign : contribution/hours. <BR>So if it takes 1.25 hours to make a conribution of £ 1.50, one hour will make a contribution of £ 1.20.<BR>Hope this makes sense.<BR>All the best for later everyone<BR>Dee<BR>
