- i think a more reliable way would be to calculate the percentage
- margin between the MSRP and the invoice, and to apply this to
- the '93 MSRP; e.g.
-
- '93 invoice '92 invoice
- ----------- = -----------
- '93 MSRP '92 MSRP
-
- multiply the '93 MSRP by the percentage derived from the '92 numbers.
