Question

You are hosting a reception. The meal will cost $22 per person; entertainment will cost $1,500; facility rental is $750; invitations and decoration costs are $1,230; and other expenses amount to $930

a. Calculate the cost if 210 guests plan to attend.

Answer 1

a) $22*210+$1500+$750+$1230+$930 if I am reading this correctly. So if I understand correctly the answer will be $9,030.

Most of these are fixed costs. The only one that slightly changes is the meals since it is charged per guest. So you just multiply the cost by the number of guests to get that portion of the expense. You then just add everything up.
