I was following along solving the case and during the second quant analysis it was much easier and seemed the most straightforward approach to find revenue loss by multiplying the percentage of subscription sharing by the revenue, rather than calculating with the number of subscribers and monthly subscription cost, which should just be the revenue anyways. Why did the interviewer lead this case in this inefficient calculation method?
.25*300,000,000 instead of .25*1,700,000*10*12

[@chillidoener3308]

Why not look into the increasing costs too? It doubled...

[@IMO9912]

how are they calculating the % profit margins so quick in the quant chart(7.42), does anyone have any tips please ?

[@tilelate9718]

just keep practising

Very helpful video! But he calculated the revenue Impact of shared premium accounts with 200k customers even tough it should be 160k customers. Or did I miss sth?

[@user-mg3qt2yk1g]

i was thinking about that too🥺

[@nevos345]

i think he rounded that number to 200k but not sure

[@danliubovich4878]

the Zoom video bubble blocks the subscriber numbers in the exhibit that is around 6 min in. Can this be edited at all to move that out of the way?
