iPhone o iPon

NEW 2019 iPhone 11:

All the Rumors on
Specs and Price
Goal: Demonstrate mastery on the Concepts in Variations.

Role: Apple has hired you to do some market research on new cellphone models that they wish
to launch.

Audience: Your audience will be the CEO of Apple.

Situation: The Apple Company plan to introduce new models of iPhone 11 this year. In addition to
refining the design and adding new features, Apple is likely to deliver the annual
enhancements we’ve come to expect – three rear cameras, improved Face ID, Apple Pencil
or iPen, virtual fingerprint scanner, new build materials and colors, faster processing
speed, higher screen resolution, and longer battery life.

The company plans to sell the units at price x. But they are not sure if they will increase
or decrease the price so that the number of supply will match the number of demand
without losing profit. They know that if they will increase the price,

(a) the number of buyers will decrease because the price of each unit becomes
more expensive.
(b) they will earn more money assuming that the buyers will still buy the units
despite the higher price.

They had an initial meeting about the dilemma. Based on their meeting, these were the
questions that came out:
 How many consumers will buy if the price is x?
 How many consumers will still buy if the price is doubled?
 How many more consumers will buy if the price is reduced to two-thirds?

After the meeting, the CEO of Apple directed the Marketing Team to conduct a survey on
how many units will be sold given a specific price. While the Finance Team estimated
how much will they earn given a specific price. Below is the summary of gathered data.
While on their way back to the company, the weather took a turn and it began to rain
really hard. The surveyors rushed back to the office however, when they checked their
data sheets, certain numbers were blotted out by the rain drops. The Marketing Team
and Finance Team will have a second meeting the following day but the data is
incomplete. They asked you to figure out what are the missing values.

TASK 1: Analyze the values in the tables below. Solve for the missing data.

In order to predict values, you observed the trend of the numbers in each column. You found out that
you can make equations that can model the trend.
TASK 2: Find the constant of variation and equation of variation.

Table 1.1 Marketing Team Table 1.2 Finance Team

(Equation for the Demand) (Equation for the Income)

After solving for the missing values, you approached your supervisor to hand the data. The
second meeting proceeded. For the final meeting, he asked you to present the data to the
company.

Your presentation should include three things – the graphical representation of the data,
analysis of the question during the initial meeting, and a suggested retail price for each
unit.

TASK 3: Using the values in Table 1.1. Marketing Team & Table 1.2. Finance Team, draw and
describe the graphs of the demand and income equation.
TASK 4: For the original equation, use equation Find the multiplier of the new equation. Prove it
using the table below.
