Part 2.3: Why are 300 cars sold in the Americas, that need to make up for the -600.000€ deficit?

Hey!

I would argue that the 300 cars come from calculating how many additional units need to be sold in the Americas to offset the €600,000 deficit. Since the total number of cars sold is 50,000, with 60% in the EU and the USA, that gives 30,000 cars in these regions. Within this, the USA accounts for 30% of the volume, meaning 9,000 cars. To determine the 300 additional cars, you need to consider the revenue or margin per unit and how many extra units are required to compensate for the deficit. If you’re unsure, checking the contribution per car in the Americas and dividing the total deficit by that value will clarify the calculation.

Hope that helps! Alessa
