Are These Ambiguities?

Student D (in Group A) asked us:

I realise this is very late, but Ive come across (what appear to me) as a few ambiguities. Ive done the coursework, but just want to have clarification as to the following points:
a) Question 1 says 'Jeremy has forecasted additional customer demand over the 5 year period'. Therefore we dont know how many units they need to produce in total per annum. If highest per year in the 5 years in 50000 units (year 5) then the Marplex is adequate, and the Rimtec machine has no advantage in being able to produce more units per year (commentary based point)
b) Question 2 says on page 1 that the courses are being offered 8 times per year on a public basis; do we have to take this into account? (i.e multiply any costs by 8 etc?)
c) Are the total materials costs for the 2 courses included in the original contract price of 80000, or do we again have to take it into account in other calculations?

These aren't ambiguities. You're asking for big clues on how to do the answer - which is marks-awarding, so I can't get into the detail. I can only give very general responses:

a) It looks like you're asking me to comment on your suggested answer - sorry, I can't pre-mark your commentaries.
b) What costs? Do you have any for the public courses?
c) The contract price is the price that the supplier (i.e. the Uni) charges to the client (i.e. the client pays the Uni £80,000 to do the project).

Take the information as stated in the case to be exactly what is meant. There are no tricks intended, nor any double meanings where you're expected to guess what is meant. I'm happy to clarify what e.g. the terminology means if it's unfamiliar to you and not clear from the case - but I can't walk you through how to do the calculations per se. Sorry!
