Question about

Task 4.4, step 2

In the calculation of the break-even point in question 4.4, step 2:

(Break-even Point (in years) = One Time Costs – Annual Profit = €495,900,000 – 102,307,500 ≈ 4.85 years)

It seems as if the annual profit should be substracted from the one time costs, but logically, it should be divided by each other instead.

Hi there,

thanks for the hint! You're absolutely right – it's a division here as well. It was just the wrong symbol, which has now been corrected.

Really appreciate your feedback!

Best regards,
Benjamin (PrepLounge)
