Answer to Question 1

b Television shopping, also called home shopping, has evolved over the past decades
by using hosts along with celebrities, entrepreneurs, and designers/artists to feature and
demonstrate the use of a variety of products to consumers. After they are shown the featured
product, consumers place orders by calling in and paying most commonly with either credit or
debit cards.

Answer to Question 2

Number of full-time equivalents = 180 40 = 4.5 + 2 = 6.5
Sales per full-time equivalent = 25,000 6.5 = 3,846.15
