Hi there, Remember there is gross profit margin and a product's profit margin. Gross profit margin takes into account all costs. A product's profit margin takes into account its attributable costs, aka COGS.

I don't really understand the question, but if it happens regardless, it's not going to impact the decision, so you can probably ignore it.

"The interviewee may confuse cars with trains. As Table 1 indicates a train consists of 2 front cars and 4 passenger cars." :) We have to produce 5 trains, but 20 cars...Slovakia does not have this excess capacity.
