Year 6 Project Pack:Theme Park

During this project, you will:

Make decisions and

choices.

Strengthen your ability to work collaboratively within a

team.

Have fun!

Lesson 6: Annual Profits

Time has flown!

Your theme park has now been open for 12 whole months… with some ups and

downs along the way (which we will find out about shortly!)

Who will have the most profitable

business?

Firstly, let’s look at how your

advertising choices impacted on

your customer footfall in your

opening month.

Customer FootfallIn your first month of opening, your company’s advertising choices made a

sizeable difference to your weekly customer numbers. Let’s see how and add this

information to your Annual Profits Activity Sheet.

Do you remember how many daily

customers we predicted would visit

your park when we were working out

entrance prices?(Look at your Working Out Entrance Fees

sheet to remind yourselves how you broke

these predicted customers down into

predicted adult and child entries).

750

What price did you say you would charge adults and children?

Multiply this by 4 to get an

estimated monthly income.

Total your adult and child income.

Multiply your weekly customers by

your entrance fee.

First Month’s Estimated Income

We need to do some calculations:

Multiply your daily customers by 7.

But how did your advertising choices impact on your first month of

trading?

Let’s find out…

Estimated weekly adult

customers: __________

Estimated weekly child

customers: __________

Adult entrance fee:

__________

Child entrance fee:

__________

Estimated adult weekly income:

__________

Estimated child weekly income:

__________

Total estimated weekly income: __________

Total estimated monthly income __________

Let’s do

this now.

Impact of Advertising

Your advertising choices affected your first month’s income by:

National Tabloid Newspaper campaign

+2%National ‘young teens’ Magazine Totalled campaign

+1%National children’s comic Bonzo campaign

+3%Nationwide billboard posters campaign

+4%National radio adverts

+1%Local radio adverts

+6%Primetime TV adverts

+4%National cable channels adverts

+3%National children’s channel advert

+1%Geegle and Smilebook web banners

This is the percentage

your month’s income

has gone up by.

Find what % of your

month’s income your

chosen method (s) is

and then add that onto

your first month’s

income.

If you chose more than one

method, add up the %

increase first and then work

out the rest:

Local radio = +1%

Primetime TV adverts = +6%

So I need to work out what

7% of my month’s income is

and then add that figure on

top of my month’s income.

First Month’s Actual ProfitNow we have enough financial information to work out your actual

month 1 income.

Our advertising choices increased our monthly income by _________%

This figure is your actual

month 1 profit.

Actual month 1 income

Minus two week’s running costs of: __________

Month 2 ProfitsIn month 2, your profit increased by 5%. But we need to take off a

further two weeks of running costs from this profit figure.

For month 2, calculate a 5%

increase from month 1.

Then, take off a further two

weeks of running costs.(this is because the initial business

loan is no longer covering any running

costs).
