Huge Mistake!!!!!

While conducting the final economic analysis it was found that our total profit for the design process was -$22,000,0000. That is an extremely high number. We were floored with these results. After the culmination of our hard work to only make a negative profit hurt us deeply. We had to start back at the drawing board even after a few of team members were extremely frustrated that the deadline was quickly approaching.

Being the ever astute engineers that we are we figured out that it wasn't out utility cost that was killing our profit margins but the purchase costs for the raw materials. The specification of 2:1 or even 4:1 benzene ratio to propylene was found to be too high.
