Hi Tanvi,

This one is a bit tricky!

The installation cost per station is 40% of 750€ which equals 300.

The following sentence in the case is your clue:

"Total cost including installation of the station is € 750, of which WyCar would contribute 40% "

I see that the solution is – the cost per station for WyCar is € 300, just equal to the expected revenue of € 300 over five years (with a negative NPV). In addition, WyCar would be exposed to the risk of decreasing power prices

but sorry I still do not understand how cost and revenue are the same

Total cost including installation of the station is € 750, of which WyCar would contribute 40% ---> for me contributing means paying right ? I am not sure to really see the point here

Hello!

Couldn´t have said it better than Ian. 

In a real case, you would ask for clarifications, and they would give you a clue such as “look at the data provided, in case you con obtain answers from there…”

Cheers, 

Clara
