Is anyone able to help with the calculation that goes into the Shoe Manufacturing Case study

Unfortunately I am not getting the same unit profit that is listed below. If anyone could help with this calculation on how I may get the right answer

My calcs were 200 - (.3+.25+.2+.04+.01+.1)*200 for the US and similar for the vietnam but that gets me $20. I am thinking maybe i took into account the retail margin and/or the defect rate incorrectlyShoe Manufacturing Case study calculation

Hello Alek,

I agree with you, proposed solution sounds weird. I think the only explanation can be that they want to know the profit per shoe and you are calculating the profit per pair of shoes (basically you have to consider only 100$ as revenues an half of the total).
Is it clear? 

Hope it helps,
Luca

Hey Alek, 

Could you provide us your numbers / calculations so we can see if there's anything you're doing wrong?
