I was interviewed by a partner in first round case interview at BCG, and I will be interviewed by a Project Leader in the second case interview. Is it common? Many people said that we would be interviewed by partners in the second round of case interview.

Hi, I am confused about what exactly is the formula for ROI. Is it (Profit-Cost)/Cost (see picture 1) or Profit/Cost (see picture 2)? Both cases are from Darden and googling online both equations show up. Thank you a lot!
