Hi,

I'm sorry but your question is very confusing. The case specifically states:

"You have the kick-start of $13,500 and then only costs for the first 5 yearsAfter 5 years, you sell the kick-start of 120 investment bottles and get a big push in revenue of 120*$250=$30,000."

Which means he does not sell the kickstart bottles at the end of the 1st year.

this is exactly where I got confused. by end of the year 5, he will have 530 bottles not 410... in the explanation, it has been mentioned that at the end of the 1st year he sells 120 bottle.. that's why there is 120 difference between my reply and the right answer ...
