Hi there,
since the question is about "additional profit", why would an excellent candidate calculate 2 scenarios? Isn't it enough to calculate the addl. profit via addl. revenue taking into account 40% "shared customers" --> therefore 60/120 addl. scoops per day?
I get to the same result just faster.
Thanks and regards
Hi there,
While the case is in German and I can't speak to the case itself, generally, yes, "shortcuts" are the best route.
However, in some instances you may want to calculate the base state first. This is so as to understand magnitude of change. I.e. "Profit increase is 10M" doesn't mean much unless we know that the initial profit was 5M or 5,000M.
Make sense?
Hello!
Giving a range of solutions, particularly when there is uncertainty in the inputs, is precisely the way things are done in the real business world. Hence, this is why the case sais an "excellent" candidate may take that approach
