Craft Beverage Acquisition

Craft Beverage Acquisition: Our client operates in consumer goods / beverages. Bain-style interviewers want a recommendation in 20–25 minutes. Last year the business did about $86 million of revenue. Leadership is not sure whether the issue is price, mix, cost, capacity, or a strategic move (enter, acquire, or exit). Your job is to structure the problem, use the exhibits, do the math out loud, and close with a decision they could run.
