Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Orders-per-call ratio = (Number of orders received / Number of planned sales calls) * 100
Number of planned sales calls = 13 calls per 2 days = 6.5 calls per day (rounded)
Number of orders received = 14
Orders-per-call ratio = (14/13) * 100 = 107.7 percent (rounded)
However, it's important to note that the planned call ratio is not the same as the number of planned sales calls. The question only provides information on the planned call ratio, but not on the actual number of calls made. Therefore, we have to assume that Kharian made all 13 planned sales calls. With this assumption, the actual orders-per-call ratio is:
Orders-per-call ratio = (14/13) * (13/13) * 100 = 107.7 percent * 100/100 = 107.7 percent (rounded)
Therefore, the closest choice is C) 87.5 percent.
