The Church of Alavanyo is planning its annual camp meeting in August 2018. The church has four branches and the annual camp meeting is the first major programme after all the head pastors attended a leadership conference on the theme Blending faith and Science in Church Decision Making. The General overseer of the church wishes to apply the scientific principles learnt at the conference in deciding between two major venues for 2018 annual comp meeting. Hitherto, the general overseer or his wife would veto where annual camp meetings are held. The following information is relevant for the decision: (i.) Seven pastors will facilitate the Camp meeting. Food 4 All restaurant will be assigned the responsibility of providing food for the pastors. They have indicated that a meal for a pastor would cost GHS5. This cost is expected to increase by one-half if a pastor attends the camp with his wife. All pastors will be fed three times daily but only three pastors plan to attend the conference with their wives. Church members will take care of their own feeding but all camp expenses of pastors will be borne by church members. (ii.) Water to be served at the camp meeting. 100 bags of sachet water at GHS2 each and 25 boxes of 750ml bottled water at GHS13 per box will be served. (iii.) The church plans to either have the conference at Afienya (A) or Bandam (B) camp sites. Accommodation cost per head per day at Afienya is GHS2 for the first 400 participants and GHS1.5 for any additional participant. Bandam will not charge any fee but the church will have to show appreciation, which will be in the neighbourhood of GHS2,000 after the camp. (iv.) Afienya Campsite will require the payment of electricity and water bills of GHS300 and GHS500 respectively. (v.) It is expected that 96 litres of fuel at GHS3.12 per litre will be needed at Bandam campsite. (vi.) Transportation cost for chairs and canopies will be GHS400 if the camp is undertaken at Afienya and GHS300 if the camp is sited at Bandam. Each church members transportation cost Page 2 of 11 will be GHS3 if Afienya is chosen as the venue but this figure is expected to double if the camp is taken to Bandam. (vii.) Pastors appreciation. Apart from the general pastor who will receive GHS500, each pastor will receive GHS300 as appreciation support. (viii.) The church plans that 700 church members and pastors will take part in the annual camp meeting if it is undertaken at Bandam while 500 members will attend the camp if it is held at Afienya even though the two camp sites can each take 1,000 people. The camp will last for 5 days. Required: i) Using relevant costing principles, advise the management of Church of Alavanyo the site they should hold the annual camp meeting. ii) Suggest TWO qualitative factors that should be considered in deciding on the venue.
