Misleading information in Part II. Analysis 4?

The additional information here states that SuperBurger sells 350K units per store at $3.5. 

This does not seem to corroborate the tables shown in the exhibits. According to the tables, revenues per store for SuperBurger amount to $5,500m/5,000 = $1.1m per store. 

Calculating revenues per store using the information provided in part 4 of the analysis section yields $3.5*350,000 = $1.225m

How is this explainable? Did I miss something else? It's a bit picky, I know, but this info is particularly misleading because I would have calculated cannibalized profit following another approach: 

15% * $5,500m * 6.3% = $59.975m in total and therefore $0.01m or $100k per store (taking 5,000 stores from exhibit 1 and 6.3% profit margin from exhibit 2). The solution states $110.25k per store. 

It seems this last analysis section is supposed to be a standalone question. In that case, it should have been made clearer to the interviewee. 

Would be helpful to receive some feedback on that, thanks in advance! :)

Hi Dennis,

I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

  • Yes, it seems to be wrong. I don't know why they made the mistake, but it doesn't align with the numbers in the charts.

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

Best,

Hagen

Hi Dennis,

Agreed that it's misleading. Remember, cases are created by….humans!

I would say every other case has a mistake in it. Just be aware that they are not perfect and are moreso a tool for training/practice.

Also remember…your interviewers aren't perfect either ;)
