Im not certain why cost is deducted from revenue for the entirety of the contract bid.

To derive the entirity of the contract bid - shouldnt we add COGS and 15% discount to the bid value itself so that those costs are covered?

Hi Ukasha,

If I understand your question correctly, the answer is embedded in the case here:

  • Typically, the client calculates profitability by deducting COGS & Overhead from the retail price.
  • In such a scenario of bidding, the supplier needs to find out how much profit he can forfeit in order for the deal to remain attractive.
