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

&quot;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...&quot;

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.
