DESCRIPTION

ABSTRACT:

This case deals with the basic concept of break-even or profitability analysis. Students are expected to calculate some profit numbers based on the assumptions made by the decision maker, as well as for the worst case scenario. The case exposes some of the limitations of ‘quick and dirty’ profitability analysis.
