Answer 1

(a) Thailand polishing price per unit is $2.03

(b) India shine price per unit is $1.88

(c) Sacramento glow price per unit is $15

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Thailand polishing:

Thailand polishing has submitted a quote of 3000 baht

$1 = 10 bhat

1 bhat = $ 0.1

Thailand polishing submitted bid = 3000 × $0.1 =$300

Import tax = 35%

Total cost = 1.35 × 300 = $405

Cost per unit = 405 ÷ 200 = $2.03

(b) India shine:

India shine has submitted a bid of 3000 rupees

$1 = 8 rupees

1 Rupee = $0.125

India shine submitted bid = 3000 × 0.125 = $375

Price per unit = 375 ÷ 200 = $1.88

(c) Sacramento Glow submitted bid = $3,000

price per unit = $3,000 ÷ 200

= $15
