Key points for calculations

When performing calculations, standard rounding rules apply. If the number to the right of the
decimal is less than 0.5, round down to the nearest whole number, e.g., 33.4 = 33 If the number
to the right of the decimal is 0.5 or greater, round up to the nearest whole number, e.g. 33.5 =34.
Read the question carefully. Pay close attention to the units be asked and keep them consistent.
For example, days vs months vs years; charges vs contribution margin; dollars vs percentage
Provide ALL formulas with references. Designate which formula associates with which source. It
is not sufficient to simply list the source at the beginning of the section. Write out the formula
used BEFORE filling in the numbers. Formulas used should be taken from one of the required
resources for this course.
Example: Total Contribution Margin (CM) = Contribution margin (CM) category 1 + CM cat 2 +
CM 3
