Mastering Case Math Formulas

The growth rate is -16.67%, which indicates that the revenues for Sweetco company have decreased by 16.67% compared to the previous year. Not -20%. I think so, could you check it?

[@myconsultingoffer]

Thanks for pointing that out but -20% was to simplify the math so it is easier to work with 20% than 16.67% but the latter is more accurate.

Make sense! Thanks! @@myconsultingoffer

Thanks Davis! How does understanding the Profit = Revenue - Cost formula specifically aid in case interview preparation?

[@myconsultingoffer]

Understanding the Profit = Revenue - Cost formula is crucial for case interviews. It forms the foundation for analyzing business situations. By grasping this formula, you can dissect scenarios, identify revenue drivers, assess cost structures, and ultimately craft strategic recommendations that enhance profitability. It's a powerful tool to showcase your analytical prowess and business acumen during case interviews. Good luck with your preparation!

Thank you so much for the video. If I get a number like 3.49 M, should I round it to 3.5 M or could I just round it to 3M?

[@myconsultingoffer]

For rounding 3.49 M, it's best to round it to 3.5 M. Generally, when the digit after the decimal is 5 or higher, you round up to the next number. Good luck!

I got a question. In the discussion of Fixed vs. Variable Costs, how does identifying these costs influence the decisions a consultant might advise a company to make?

[@myconsultingoffer]

Certainly! Distinguishing between Fixed and Variable Costs allows consultants to advise companies effectively. This knowledge aids in cost reduction, optimal pricing, break-even analysis, investment decisions, resource allocation, operational efficiency, and scenario planning. It forms the basis for data-driven recommendations that enhance financial performance and strategic planning. Best of luck with your consulting journey!

For the Breakeven Volume = Fixed Costs / (Price - Variable Costs) formula, could you provide an example of how it’s practically applied in case interviews?

[@myconsultingoffer]

Certainly! The Breakeven Volume formula is applied in case interviews to analyze the point at which a company covers its costs. Let's say you're consulting for a software startup. If the company has fixed costs of $100,000 and each software sale generates $50 in variable costs, and they sell the software for $200, you can use the formula: Breakeven Volume = $100,000 / ($200 - $50) = 625 units This means the company needs to sell 625 software units to cover its fixed and variable costs, without making a profit. In a case interview, you'd use this analysis to provide insights on pricing strategies, cost reduction, and how different scenarios affect breakeven points. This showcases your ability to apply theoretical formulas to real-world business situations effectively. Best of luck with your case interviews!

But how do you get the total market revenue?

[@myconsultingoffer]

Hi! In most cases, you would be given the total market revenue upon asking. If the interviewer doesn't share it with you, they may ask you to size the market. Thus, it will be a market sizing exercise which you can learn more about in this video -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZizaXWFn8aLjZIsi=rmEk5IMSvTgDglxD and kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXTYZKhuhq-Grc0si=e0eiRUb_VLaMJzKe Once you know the total number of units sold in the market, just multiply it with the average price to get the estimated total market revenue.
