The 5 year standardization formula isn't clear

In the second exhibit. The formula mentioned seems to be incorrect. It should be Price + (Annual cost of Oil X Years)

Also, the standardization calculation is not clear. I think it should be Price + (Annual cost of Oil X Years (5)) + (Price/Number of years(5))

Hi Arpit, 

It's good that you're notifying these things.

Realistically cases always have 1-2 mistakes, so the more people point them out, the better the quality will be long-term. 

Are you applying specifically to Inverto?

Best,
Cristian
