Don’t know where you got that wording on the formula, but it is not correctI'm not misunderstanding to the extent you're implying.
The allocation calculation was based on three factors, two of them known. Only if the dealer converted Zero orders, the allocation number would drop by 25%. Therefore, the initial allocation calculation was not followed by Ford.
- 50% of reservations will be fulfilled based on a calculation using the dealers number of bronco reservations (KNOWN NUMBER)
- 25% of reservations will be fulfilled based on a calculation using the dealers sales volume (UNKNOWN NUMBER)
- 25% of the reservations will be fulfilled based on a calculation using the sales of jeeps/4Runners in market (KNOWN NUMBER)
Therefore, to lose 25% of the allocations from the estimate, zero orders would have been converted. This was not the case because more than the allocation number was converted at my dealer.
Something is not adding up in this situation and to say that I don't understand is disingenuous to the conversation.
. 50% of the allocation came from reservations prior to Sep 19th that were CONVERTED TO ORDERS. An unknown until 3/19. The estimate was based on total reservations...which had no bearing on the actual number, for good reason. They could have a 100k reservations and get zero if they converted zero. That was always the case.
