Question about
Case
I want to receive updates regarding this question via email.

Can someone explain the calculation of the revenue and the variable costs for the different regions?

I'm not sure how to calculate the revenue in Question 2.2.
e.g. for America:
(50k * 40%)cars * 21k (price per car) * 30% (regional volume America) = 56,3 M Euro

BUT: the solution shows a revenue of 6,3 M Euro for America. 
Can someone please explain to me how this is calculated?

Hi there -- here is the formula to get to 6.3M 

[Cars Sold] x [% in Region] x [% US of Region] x [% Customized] x [Price] 

50k x 60% x 30% x 1/30 x 21k = 6.3m
