Candidate view
Which link breaks first, and the cheapest fix
The prompt
A bottled-water company in Indonesia, which reports in US dollars, expects demand of 1,000,000 cases next year. Its plant can make 1,200,000 cases, but its own trucks can move only 900,000. Each case earns USD 2 of contribution. It can hire a third-party logistics firm at USD 0.60 per case, or run more trucks of its own for USD 150,000 a year, adding 150,000 cases of transport capacity. The table below shows each link in the chain. Can it meet demand, and what is the best fix?
Your interviewer will share data as you ask for it. Ask clarifying questions, state a hypothesis, then lay out your structure out loud before you calculate.
