3. For each of the following statements about the final year of the 6-year exclusivity period for Formula A, select Yes if the statement is supported by the information in the tabs. Otherwise, select No.



• The company’s total R and D expenditures were greater than those for any other year of the six year exclusivity period for Formula A.

Within Years 1 to 6, Year 6 R and D is 240, and Year 4 R and D is also 240. So Year 6 is not greater than all the others.

Answer: No

• The company’s total R and D expenditures were greater than 10 percent of the company’s total revenue.

In Year 6, total revenue is 2500, so 10 percent is 250. Year 6 R and D is 240, which is not greater than 250.

Answer: No

• Revenue from sales of Formula A accounted for more than 50 percent of the company’s total revenue.

In Year 6, Formula A sales revenue is 1000, while total revenue is 2500. That is 40 percent, so less than 50.

Answer: No

Ques 1 The company has been granted a 6-year exclusivity period, spanning Years 11-16, for Formula C, a new drug designed to treat a different condition than that treated by Formulas A and B. The company has made the following predictions for Year 11: revenue from sales of Formula B will be US$400 million, and revenue from sales of Formula C will be US$200 million.

For each of the following statements about the company, select Sufficient information if the given predictions and the information in the tabs provide sufficient information to determine that the statement is true. Otherwise, select Insufficient information.

Solution: Combining all the revenues from Formulas A & B sales. The year that shows the least is Year 5.

Ques 2 The company has been granted a 6-year exclusivity period, spanning Years 11-16, for Formula C, a new drug designed to treat a different condition than that treated by Formulas A and B. The company has made the following predictions for Year 11: revenue from sales of Formula B will be US$400 million, and revenue from sales of Formula C will be US$200 million.

For each of the following statements about the company, select Sufficient information if the given predictions and the information in the tabs provide sufficient information to determine that the statement is true. Otherwise, select Insufficient information.

Solution 1) Sufficient --As mentioned in the ques the total revenue from sales of Formula B will be US$400 million and revenue from sales of Formula C will be US$200 million for the year 11. So, when we combine both we get $600 which is less than the t[color=#000000]otal R&D expenditures for Year 10 which is $800.

2) Insufficient-- We only have the predicted revenue for year 11 from the sales of Formula B and Formula C and also we do not have enough information about the revenue for year 10. And, Year 10 only speaks about Formula A & B. So, it is insufficient.

3)Insufficient-- We do not have enough information about the R & D expenditure for the year 11. Not enough data to make such predictions.


Ques 3. For each of the following statements about the final year of the 6-year exclusivity period for Formula A, select Yes if the statement is supported by the information in the tabs. Otherwise, select No.

1) No-- The company's total R&D expenditures were greater than those for any other year of the 6-year exclusive period for Formula A.

2) No-- The company's total R&D expenditures were greater than 10% of the company's total revenue.

3) No-- Revenue from sales of Formula A accounted for more than 50% of the company's total revenue.

Why 'NO" in all of last question "For each of the following statements about the final year of the 6-year exclusivity period for Formula A, select Yes if the statement is supported by the information in the tabs. Otherwise, select No." ?

where did you found that we need info about formula A in for example this statement "Predicted revenue from sales of Formulas B and C for Year 11 is less than total R&D expenditures for Year 10" ?

Just revenue from B C (that mentioned in text) and total R&D expend-s for 10 years (from table)

IMO,

Q3, "For each of the following statements about the final year of the 6-year exclusivity period for Formula A"
-> we are focusing on Year6, not specifically on A, B, or C. Each formula has been granted the same 6-year exclusivity period.
So, the question is asking us which statement about Year6 are correct.

sub1: No, when comparing Year 6 and Year 4 expenses, they are the same ($240 mil), not greater.

sub 2: No, in year 6, total R&D is $240 mil with total revenue of $2500 mil, which is about 9.xx% (240/2500).

sub 3: No, as shown in the column chart in tab1, you can see that in Year 6, rev A = rev B, so it accounts for 50%, not greater.

Question Stem: The company's total R&D expenditures were greater than those for any other year of the 6-year exclusively period for Formula A.

Now, 1st- 4th year: all R&D expenditures are exclusively from formula A as formula B was not launched.
The company's total R&D expenditures (6th year) =$240m (A+B)
The company's total R&D expenditures (4th year) =$240m (A)
So, we can not say that " the company's total R&D expenditures (6th year) were greater than those for any other year of the 6-year exclusively period for Formula A." as at max, the total R&D expenditures of A can be $240m in the 6th year

In Question 3- question is asking for the final year of 6 year exclusivity period for formula A. so will focus on year 6 only:

statement 1-
company's total R&D expenditure in year -6 is 240 mill.$, which is equal to the year 4. Means total R&D expenditure in year-6 is not greater than other year. Answer- NO

statement 2
for year 6- total R&D expenditure= 240 mill.$
Total Revenue = 2500 mill.$
is, 240>10% of 2500?
240> 1/10*2500
240>250 - definitely not, So ans. is NO

Statement 3
Revenue from sales of formula A in year -6 = 1000 mill.$
company's total Revenue in year 6 =2500 mill.$
is, 1000> 50% of 2500 ?
let see, 1000>1250 - definitely not, So ans. is NO

2. The company has been granted a 6-year exclusivity period, spanning Years 11-16, for Formula C, a new drug designed to treat a different condition than that treated by Formulas A and B. The company has made the following predictions for Year 11: revenue from sales of Formula B will be US$400 million, and revenue from sales of Formula C will be US$200 million.

For each of the following statements about the company, select Sufficient information if the given predictions and the information in the tabs provide sufficient information to determine that the statement is true. Otherwise, select Insufficient information.




Using Year 11 predictions (B equals 400, C equals 200) plus the earlier tab information, we should decide whether we have enough information to conclude each statement is true.

• Predicted revenue from sales of Formulas B and C for Year 11 is less than total R and D expenditures for Year 10.

Predicted B plus C in Year 11 is 400 + 200 = 600. Year 10 total R and D is 800. Since 600 is less than 800, this is confirmed true.

Answer: Sufficient information

• Predicted total revenue for Year 11 is greater than total revenue for Year 10.

You are only told predicted sales revenue for B and C, not the company’s total revenue for Year 11. Total revenue could include other revenue sources (including anything besides B and C). So you cannot determine whether Year 11 total revenue exceeds Year 10 total revenue of 4000.

Answer: Insufficient information

• Predicted total R and D expenditures for Year 11 are less than total R and D expenditures for Year 10.

No prediction for Year 11 R and D spending is provided. So you cannot determine this.

Answer: Insufficient information

For each of the following statements about the company, select Sufficient information if the given predictions and the information in the tabs provide sufficient information to determine that the statement is true. Otherwise, select Insufficient information.

In this question, you choose Sufficient only if the info lets you confirm the statement is true.

If the info shows the statement is false, pick Insufficient (because you cannot determine it is true).

Check the solution of that question HERE.

Hope it helps.

Year 6 revenue is 2000, 10% = 200, how is it greater than 240??
Bunuel
3. For each of the following statements about the final year of the 6-year exclusivity period for Formula A, select Yes if the statement is supported by the information in the tabs. Otherwise, select No.



• The company’s total R and D expenditures were greater than those for any other year of the six year exclusivity period for Formula A.

Within Years 1 to 6, Year 6 R and D is 240, and Year 4 R and D is also 240. So Year 6 is not greater than all the others.

Answer: No

• The company’s total R and D expenditures were greater than 10 percent of the company’s total revenue.

In Year 6, total revenue is 2500, so 10 percent is 250. Year 6 R and D is 240, which is not greater than 250.

Answer: No

• Revenue from sales of Formula A accounted for more than 50 percent of the company’s total revenue.

In Year 6, Formula A sales revenue is 1000, while total revenue is 2500. That is 40 percent, so less than 50.

Answer: No
