There seems to be a mix up in the solution. The workings for Year 2020 seems not correct  most especially the number of yatchs and boat sold.

The data  in the table shows  25 units of yatch were sold while 533 units of boats were sold in year 2020 but in the solution  640 units of boats and 30 units of yatchs were used respectively

Could anyone provide more insight on this or it was just an error or mix up that was not discovered?

Hi there,

You're absolutely right that this is an error in the case (they used the 2019 numbers).

This is super common! I'd say every other case has an error somewhere!
