First year you buy 120 bottles + 6 every month.  

So that is 120 in the beginning of the year, but 192 at the end of the year.

Hi there,

the author looks at it from end of Year 1 perspective: start with 120 and add 6 bottles every month → 120 + 6*12 = 192 bottles at end of Y1. 

Hope this helps.

Regards, Andi
