The Forges of Farador | LES

Tom wants to open a new business, Farador’s Blacksmiths, that will make and sell equipment for live action role players (LARPers). His plan is to sell shields, swords, daggers, wizard’s staves, bows, and arrows.

This situational problem should be done over the course of three periods. During the first and second periods, students will work individually to calculate the selling price of each piece of equipment (shield, sword, dagger, staff, bow, and arrows). During the third period, students will work in teams of two or three to compare their results and determine a selling price for each set that respects the requirements set out in the problem.
