For the people who did not get the calculation, charging cycles per week is extra info that is not needed. All you need to know is how much kWh you need so you can multiply it by the price and then share of WyCar
However, this is the calculation:
Revenues: 10%*(0.25 EUR/kWh*20kWh/100km*15000km*80%)
Hi there!
To have a higher response rate here and also to get more out of the exercise, I'd recommend you give a first go to the answer yourself. Then we can chip in with feedback.
Best,

You are correct in your statement.
I should highlight, however, that the answer provided in the case is not necessarily correct. There are a lot of things that are being erroneously disregarded:
But, there are two very relevant things that SHOULD BE CONSIDERED (and these comments help you get an offer):
Taking these two points in consideration, there is room to argue that this initiative is likely to be very positive.
But let me put this the other way. The case objective is to improve car sales. Disregarding an initiative that is at breakeven without considering its impact on the case objective (increase car sales) should be considered WRONG and reflect negatively on the candidate.
And let me add that getting the math right is good. But what makes you pass the interview round is not the math, but the discussion over the consequencies of the math analysis.
Hi there,
I'm super concerned by the fact that you've asked 3 questions on just 1 single case here.
(Please don't feel like you can't ask questions by the way!)
But it does sound like you could really use a reset in how you're approach math (learning how to figure it out yourself).
Consider getting a coach. Check out rocketblocks (for math/charts/exhibits only). Review how you approach math (learn to take a step back, break it down, and figure it out yourself in order to maximize learning)
