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.
Hello!
It´s stated in the case, here > "Typically, the client calculates profitability by deducting COGS & Overhead from the retail price"
Cheers,
