Rohr Training Services (RTS) provides instruction on the use of computer software for the employees of its corporate clients. It offers courses in the clients offices on the clients equipment. The only major expense RTS incurs is instructor salaries; it pays instructors $4,000 per course taught. RTS recently agreed to offer a course of instruction to the employees of Basemera Incorporated at a price of $600 per student. Basemera estimated that 20 students would attend the course.

Part 3:

RTS sells a workbook with printed material unique to each course to each student who attends the course. Any workbooks that are not sold must be destroyed.

Each workbook costs $30 and is sold to course participants for $50. This cost includes a royalty fee paid to the author and the cost of duplication.
