Hey Lisa,

that's not the price per ton. To achieve a reduction of 33%, the price per ton for white paint needs to be lowered to €422.50 (see the 3rd bullet point in the solution to Task 4). The cheapest supplier is Supplier E with a price of €550 per ton. In this case, the price must be reduced by €127.50 through a larger sales volume.

I hope, I could help you?

Kind regards, Benjamin
