Dear Karolina. You are right. If the meaning is 'cost for the buyer and revenue for the company', that is, 'cost= price', then the correct answer is 'model D brings the highest revenue'. If it is 'cost for the company and expenditure for the company', then the correct answer will be 'model B brings the highest revenue'.

I think there's an ambiguity in the data. From the solution I gather that "cost" means "revenue for the company" which is silly, because I understand "cost" as cost for the company and not cost for the buyer... With my reasoning the model which has the lowest cost would actually bring the most revenue (not sure how to factor the sales % though, without the price per model). Maybe it would be wise to actually change "cost" for "price" in the question? That would make it more clear...
