Cost Reports

Every year, most teams have a hard time delivering cost reports at the right time and in the right form. In spite of it, some of those teams succeed.

This year, we received some reports and we must insist in general considerations for all you to have in mind for the next time:

1. Read CAREFULLY the first sheet "INSTRUCTIONS" from the costreportrev-b.xls file that you can find in http://students.sae.org/competitions/bajasae/rules/. According to the valid rules for this competition, that excel file contains required formats for cost reports.
2. Do as recommended in Hint 1 one more time. (We MUST insist). Usually those files contain additional indications for your report format and delivery that are not specified in the mbrules.

Greetings for all the teams that delivered cost reports. We hope you can find the detailed feedback useful.
