Step up to Whaaaaaaat ? Pie in the sky
Snack on this:
For the sweet spot target price of 30k based upon average customer affordability from census data, and average price roughly of new cars for sale.
Sample: you have the 2013 Toyota Avalon at $33,990 as retail price
Invoice of $30,671. so a 9.8% margin from invoice to dealer top price often negotiated 1/2 way to 5% margin.
Price you pay is $32,330
Through the WD discount method:
So the discount formula is
DRP = Retail Price of Car
P = Profit for Dealer
N = Discount percentage
PA = Price of car at auction
CSP = Customer Sales Price = ( N * DRP )
P + PA = Weekend Drives Dealer Invoice
DRP - P - ( N * DRP ) = PA
N = ( DRP - Invoice ) / DRP
Invoice = DRP - ( DRP * N )
Example DRP = $33,990
Assumption: Clean Title, Clean Car Fax, Excellent Condition as measured by KBB
25% discount ( lowest for viability )
Invoice = $25,500
Discount = $8,500
Thats alot of mac n cheese.
35% discount ( Mid Range )
Invoice = $22,100
Discount = $11,990
Thats alot of dinners or dates hehe
50% discount ( Pie in the Sky )
Invoice = $17,000
Discount = $17,000
Whaaaaat ?? Ha Ha
Wonder what the cause of this is ?

Why do I get the feeling that buying options is like feeding the gold fish for speculation?
I am doing this for fun mind you.
Sometimes consumers are better off and producers worse off, and sometimes consumers are worse off and producers are better off, but the imposition of trade restrictions causes a net loss to society because the losses from trade restrictions are larger than the gains from trade restrictions. Free trade creates winners and losers, but theory and empirical evidence show that the size of the winnings from free trade are larger than the losses
Or in comedy terms,
I am rich beatch hahaha
The firm estimates that the average car sold for $31,128 last year, up nearly 2 percent from last year. That record-setting number came mainly from price increases at Honda, Toyota and Hyundai. Hyundai cut back on incentives throughout the year as it ran short on cars, effectively raising prices. And both Honda and Toyota released new, more-expensive versions of their most popular vehicles.
Nissan and GM both had slight declines in their average prices, but in both cases, the drops were far less than 1 percent.
What time it is in the auto industry:
Who said toyota is back on top of gm ?
Either way its about average price vs affordability

Correction Queen Mary 2 is a 3.4 B dollar ship ( not sure on the currency there ).
Seems silly to hold up a 170 B dollar project based upon a short circuit.
But first volunteers to fly on a bad battery plane ? You go first hehe
Communications Impact on the economy:
AT&T 127 Billion in revenue

Boeing The final styling of the aircraft was more conservative than earlier proposals, with the fin, nose, and cockpit windows changed to a more conventional form. By the end of 2004, customer-announced orders and commitments for the 787 reached 237 aircraft.[35] Boeing initially priced the 787-8 variant at US$120 million, a low figure that surprised the industry. In 2007, the list price was US$146–151.5 million for the 787-3, US$157–167 million for the 787-8 and US$189–200 million for the 787-9.[36]
848 orders x 200M = 169,600 M dollars so far
or 170 Billion dollars.
Price of the richest Yacht
The most expensive yacht in the world is the $4.8 billion, gold plated, History Supreme that was built for a one very wealthy and very anonymous Malaysian multi-multi-billionaire. The History Supreme is a 100 foot yacht that is adorned with 100 thousand kilograms (220,000 pounds) of solid gold and platinum. It also features some of the rarest and most un-obtainable decorations found in the universe

First idea that comes to mind for supporting the revenue side is to post the top gross revenue making companies in order
http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2012/full_list/
Now this can be misleading since the skill of sales and/or marketing might not be the primary source of revenue for these firms.
The development of the product might be more important hehe
Industries that pay the most in taxes.

Mooers' law
For the observation regarding integrated circuits, see Moore's law.
Mooers' law is an empirical observation of behavior made by American computer scientist Calvin Mooers in 1959. The observation is made in relation to information retrieval and the interpretation of the observation is used commonly throughout the information profession both within and outside its original context.
An information retrieval system will tend not to be used whenever it is more painful and troublesome for a customer to have information than for him not to have it.
—Calvin Mooers[1]

[edit]Original interpretation
Mooers argued that information is at risk of languishing unused due not only on the effort required to assimilate it but also to any fallout that could arise from the discovery of information that conflicts with the users personal, academic or corporate interests. In interacting with new information, a user runs the risk of proving their work incorrect or even irrelevant. Instead, Mooers argued, users prefer to remain in a state of safety in which new arguments are ignored in an attempt to save potential embarrassment or reprisal from supervisors.[2]
[edit]Out-of-context interpretation
The more commonly used interpretation of Mooers' law is considered to be a derivation of the principle of least effort first stated by George Kingsley Zipf.
This interpretation focuses on the amount of effort that will be expended to use and understand a particular information retrieval system before the information seeker 'gives up', and the Law is often paraphrased to increase the focus on the retrieval system:
The more difficult and time consuming it is for a customer to use an information system, the less likely it is that he will use that information system.
—J. Michael Pemberton
Mooers' Law tells us that information will be used in direct proportion to how easy it is to obtain.
—Roger K. Summit [1]
In this interpretation, "painful and troublesome" comes from using the retrieval system.
Why does this seem fitting ?
