Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

  • While I did not find any information about how the gross margin is calculated in this specific case study, I would advise you to assume that it follows the standard of dividing the gross profit by revenues.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there,

please stick to the normal way of deriving Gross Margin - this is a very standard accounting metric.

  • Gross Margin (in %) = Gross Profit / Revenue 
  • Gross profit (in $) = Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

Regards, Andi

Hi there,

Just a random guess, but this probably has something to do with it :)
