Thanks Revenue How was 47% of list price derived? Is that contractu=l with distributor? If there is a second printing, is the 47% =ontinue to apply? Direct costs PPB - what is the derivation on a per title ba=is — cost varies per unit/ median $1.72/ title. PPB - If there is a second printing would the =er unit amount remain the same? Plant expense - what is the derivation on a per titl= basis.
