Case Interview example help

Hi,

I am going through the first case interview in the "vault case interview practice guide 2."

A copy of it is here: http://sites.duke.edu/dukeapdconsulting/files/2010/08/Vault_Guide2008.p…

Also attached.

The case study is entitled "Amusement Park Case," and is pg. 19 through 24.

I am having issues with the last page, pg. 24.

Two issues:

1. I don't understand how the Revenue values are calculated (e.g., 12.775M, 10.9M, 10M), because the values reflected are different on the previous page. I also tried to include the revenue from non-ticket revenue, but I still didn't get the correct values.

2. I do not understand why the recommendation is C. From the final calculation, it seems that C is the least profitable.

Any help would be appreciated. Let me know if I need to provide more clarification.

Thanks,

K.
