“The client spends 845 EUR/ton on “white paint” and 1,230 EUR/ton on “other paints” = 2,075 EUR /ton in total”

the prices are per ton of color, not for ton of packaging, because that were only 80EUR in the first task. So 2,075 EUR is the price for 2 tons of color (one white and one other). Or am I wrong?

Hi Johannes,

Even if your considerations sound absolutely logical in isolation, could you please tell me the position within the case study where this applies to?

Best,

Hagen
