Hi,
If you are talking about asking the interviewer re the segmentation first - that is correct.
The particular cost structure may be segmented differently:
- Fixed and variable
- Per unit basis
- Value chain
- Any other structure that the interviewer may provide.
Ask about the cost structure proactively and then if the interviewer asks you to make a hypothesis re costs - use the most common FC / VC structure
