Hi,

Firstly, as Hagen mentioned, there might be other information in the case that may influence the final numbers - if we don't know that, its hard to comment.

Secondly, the quality of casebooks vary alot. Some are really good, some not so much. Sometimes, case authors also make mistakes/errors - I've seen and noticed a few before. It could be that this is the case here as well - where instead of a $ sign, it should be a % sign.

Hope this helps!  

Hi there,

I agree with the other coaches. I tried this and got a different answer. However, critically, I would have to ask the interviewer how quality (defect rate), tariffs, and retail margin actually work. This affects the math!
