Answer 1

To determine which charter is more cost-effective for a group of 10 customers, we need to calculate the total cost for both Maritime Voyage and Catamaran Command.

1. Maritime Voyage:

   • Boat rental: $250
   • Cost per person: $25
   • Total cost for 10 customers: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 250 + (25 \times 10) = 250 + 250 = 500 \]

2. Catamaran Command:

   • Boat rental: $75
   • Cost per person: $50
   • Total cost for 10 customers: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 75 + (50 \times 10) = 75 + 500 = 575 \]

Now we compare the total costs:

• Maritime Voyage: $500
• Catamaran Command: $575

Since $500 (Maritime Voyage) is less than $575 (Catamaran Command), the group should choose Maritime Voyage.

Now, based on the responses provided, it seems the correct response option related to our findings should lead to this conclusion:

Maritime Voyage; choose this charter for less than 13 customers.
