Worked example
One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.
An event budget should always include a contingency, which is:
- A reserve amount, often around 10 percent, for unexpected costs
- The profit margin
- The venue deposit
- The MCs fee
Working: Unexpected costs always arise - extra chairs, generator fuel, last-minute printing. A contingency reserve of roughly 10 percent protects the event from being derailed.
