Section 15.1—Quiz: Booking And Planning Events

2.

Every detail that the salesperson and client have discussed and agreed upon should be covered in the:

Guarantee.
Function book.
Contract.
Function sheet.

Correct Answer

A. Contract.

Explanation

The correct answer is "contract" because a contract is a legally binding agreement that outlines all the details and terms agreed upon by both the salesperson and the client. It ensures that all aspects of the agreement, including guarantees, are documented and can be referred to if any disputes or issues arise in the future. A guarantee, function book, or function sheet may provide additional information or documentation, but the contract is the comprehensive document that covers all discussed and agreed-upon details.

Daryl Croff guaranteed a sales reception for 145 people. The variance allowed at the Bright Sun hotel is 10%. What is the least amount of people Daryl would have to pay for?

A. 14
B. 15
C. 131
D. 145

Correct Answer

A. C. 131

Explanation

Daryl Croff guaranteed a sales reception for 145 people, but the variance allowed at the Bright Sun hotel is only 10%. This means that Daryl would have to pay for at least 90% of the guaranteed number of people, in order to stay within the allowed variance. 90% of 145 is 130.5, which rounds up to 131. Therefore, the least amount of people Daryl would have to pay for is 131.

A. removal of carpets
B. dance floors

Correct Answer

A. A. removal of carpets

Explanation

Typically, room rental rates include the removal of carpets. This means that when renting a room, the cost of removing any existing carpets in the room is included in the rental rate.

These items or services may be available for an additional fee or may need to be rented separately.

The correct answer is "function book" because it refers to a book or a document that is used to book or reserve a space for a function or event. It is likely a record or logbook where all the details of the function, such as date, time, venue, and requirements, are recorded. This helps in organizing and managing the booking process efficiently.

Payment arrangements

A. function book
B. contract/letter of agreement
C. function sheet

Correct Answer

A. B. contract/letter of agreement

Explanation

Payment arrangements typically refer to the terms and conditions agreed upon between two parties regarding the payment for a service or product. A contract or letter of agreement is the most appropriate choice as it is a legally binding document that outlines the agreed-upon payment terms, ensuring both parties are aware of their obligations and protecting their interests. A function book and function sheet may be related to event planning or venue management, but they do not specifically address payment arrangements.

The correct answer is c. function sheet. A function sheet is a document that outlines all the details and requirements for an event or function.
