This is a complicated financial model. So other cells are just inputs required for doing the contribution per batch and break-even analysis. For instance, the rows in dark green calculate the fixed cost per batch. The final output of these rows is the fixed cost per batch. This fixed cost per batch is used as input in the contribution per batch and break-even analysis given in the cells marked in "light green". The cells marked in yellow give the profit after tax of Tiffany's at the current price per batch. I have explained all the formula clearly in the text box too.
