SUMMARY

Pages 41-42 of the "Microsoft Excel Solver User's Guide" describe a sample worksheet, Solver1. A section labeled "Note" at the top of page 42 states:

"The formulas for profit per product in cells D17:F17 include the factor ^B8 to show that profit per unit diminishes with volume. B8 contains 0.9. If you change B8..."

The diminishing returns factor is actually stored in cell H15. If all references to B8 in the paragraph are changed to H15, the paragraph reads correctly.
