The prompt
An illustrative fashion retailer in Europe buys 10,000 jackets at EUR 10 each and prices them at EUR 40. It sells 60 percent at full price, 30 percent at half price, and the last 10 percent is donated or recycled (EU rules now ban large companies from destroying unsold clothes). What are revenue and gross margin, compared with selling everything at full price?
Practice with a partner

2. You open the candidate view: you see only the prompt, a timer and a notes box.
3. Speak the case out loud. Your partner shares data when you ask, then scores you with the rubric.
