From the table of the cost calculation, you can see that COGS and SG&A are combined 100% of revenue so you could only calculate the other costs to quickly get the -80m net income.

Love this case mock and great job to the interviewee!
This video feels really authentic whereas most other "Mock Interviews" feel rehearsed as many candidates in those videos came up with complex equations in less than 5 seconds and can generate 10+ areas to investigate in less than 40 seconds. Really appreciate the video and subscribed!

No doubt that some of these videos have interviewees that are rehearsed i.e. given the case in advance. However, good interviewees more closely resemble the candidates that you are calling rehearsed. This interviewee needs to do a lot more work to get better at structuring the problem, deriving insights from the data, and communicating them effectively to the interviewer.

how is 85% of 800M 700M? Shouldn't it be 680M and then the net income for Jet Engines is -100M and not -120M?

[@kivohs]

Yes, jet engine net is 100M
