Default ATP written B1900 W&B Question

I've been beating my head against the wall at some of these FAA questions. I gotta know what the deal with this one is... using the ASA test prep, ALL the Beech 1900 W&B questions leave out the flight crew weight, quite inexplicably to me. Below is an example question and explanation. The figures quite clearly show the crew as 340 lb @ FS 129. ***???

(Refer to Figures 4, 7, 9, 10, and 11.) What is the CG shift if the cargo in section F is moved to section A, and 200 pounds of the cargo in section G is added to the cargo in section B, under Loading Conditions BE-7?

Weight Moment/100
Basic Operating Wt. 9,005 25,934
Sec A - -
Sec B 400 1,020
Sec C 450 1,282.5
Sec D 600 1,890
Sec E 600 2,070
Sec F 600 2,250
Sec G 500 2,025
Sec H - -
Sec J - -
Sec K - -
Sec L - -
Fuel + 2,442 + 7,299
Total 14,597 43,770.5
CG change moving weight from F to A is: 600 x 150/14,597 = 6.2 inches forward
CG change moving weight from G to B is: 200 x 150/14,597 = 2.1 inches forward
Total change: 6.2 inches + 2.1 inches = 8.3 inches forward
