Lesson Details
Key learning points
- A strong understanding of finance is necessary
- Calculating expenditure and income should be done as accurately as possible
- Cost-cutting measures need to balance savings with safety/comfort
Common misconception
Pupils may think the cost per hour can be reduced if less than an hour is required (venue hire).
This may be possible but should not be assumed when costing for an event as otherwise this could lead to a loss rather than a profit. If unknown, assume not.
