The company manufactures 3D Printers. Who should they target selling it to and which one will be more profitable? End customers directly or through retailers? Interviewer asked me to plot graph to show the volume of sales with respect to time for each scenario. Asked to calculate the profit in 2years giving fixed cost 6.6m, over head costs 2.4m/yearly, cost of the item=$250 price of the item sold=$500 and no of units= 2000/monthly. Altered the numbers: when 25% of printers breakdown and cost of repairing each one is 200$. What are the additional printers to be sold to make the profit in 1 year?

CASE: Recovering Written-off Past Due Balances 6 months past due, avg $2000 balance, 15% pay in full, profitable? If introduce settlement option for 60% of balance, 10% pay settlement but 5% of them dont pay in full, better choice? With new model, now 9% pay in full, but with settlement option now 10% take settlement but a third of original payers dont pay in full, better? etc. (poorly worded and confusing case. unhelpful vague interviewer, arggg, cost me the job).
