2 Oliver is the owner and manager of Oliver’s Salon which is a quality hairdresser that experiences high levels of
competition. The salon traditionally provided a range of hair services to female clients only, including cuts, colouring
and straightening
A year ago, at the start of his 2009 financial year, Oliver decided to expand his operations to include the hairdressing
needs of male clients. Male hairdressing prices are lower, the work simpler (mainly hair cuts only) and so the time

provided for female clients in the two years was the same.
