    I think it is really badly explained in the answer.

    You are told to use 2015 as a base and also to estimate profit before interest and tax at $103m

    This means that the new factory solution reduces profits by $5m from $108m [ie 2m x ( 75 – 21)] to $103m. Really these figures should have been called contribution, I think.

    If contribution reduces by $5m, profits will decrease from 71 to 66.

    I think the capital employed figures are relatively easy.

    I thought I totally lost it when I saw that’s how they calculated Contribution in the answer! In fact, the entire answer is just depressing. Oh well, good thing I googled it & this came up 🙂
