Annual maintenance costs in 4.4

Hi Hannes,

You are right, the maintenance number needs to be corrected to EUR ~5.7M. In this case, the project seems financially viable so it would change the way you respond to the question (e.g., you could calculate the payback period and decide whether they would get their investment back quickly enough; also, you could think of what other costs need to be considered besides maintenance, if any).

Hi Hannes,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

• You seem to be right about the mistake that has been made, and I also noticed that Benjamin from PrepLounge has already fixed it.

You can find more on this topic here: How to succeed in the final interview round.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming applications, pre-interview assessments and/or interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Hi Hannes,

Q: Shouldn't it be 5.692.500€ maintenance costs per year

Indeed this seems a typo, the maintenance cost should be €5.692.500 as reported before (56.925*100). This indeed has an impact on the number of years needed to reach breakeven, considering the initial set-up cost.

Hi Hannes,

Thanks for your note! Indeed, we made a mistake when inserting the case study, as the calculation was not supposed to be included anymore. We have corrected it immediately.

Best regards,
Benjamin

Hey there, 

Good spot. Indeed this looked to be produced in error. 

Fortunately as a result, it has been fixed! 

Well done and thanks for raising this
