However, as the demand of its headphones is shrinking and there are so many suppliers (due to low barrier of entry), there will be great price pressure on the product, as explained by William F. Samuelson and Stephen G. Marks (2010). The price reduction may over shallow the possible cost reduction the firm could achieve. Susan Schreter’s second step is to target new customers from within groups.
When revenue is less than expenses, there is a problem. Identifying the overages in expenses is crucial because these costs have a negative impact on the performance indicators profit margin and return on equity. This is what the CFO, Sullivan, was trying to avoid. The purchase of the line leases was a bad business decision that caused a major problem for the company and rather than deal with the consequences of the bad business decisions, Sullivan and others tried to hide the problem. The internal controls monitoring provided by Ms. Cooper and Mr. Morse uncovered the fraudulent transactions meant to hide the losses incurred when the telecommunications business fell off.
But the surveys negative affect was if the pricing kept too low, there is a probability of a high no show rate because the fans have negative impact on game as they would have think they would have barely lost couple of bucks for game which is no big deal for limited means.

As a result of survey, Buckingham still could not recognize the breakeven was a reasonable objective and with the mixtures of anticipation and apprehension, he began to follow survey screens.

Making profit is important to people. Most of all, improving the bottom line is the primary objective for major companies. “For Robert Shively, learned that his employer, Occidental Petroleum Corporation, or also-known-as Oxy Pete,” wanted to forgo the guaranteed-employer pension plans for the less demanding 401(K) system where it is based on contributions from employee’s pay rather than from the employer’s profit. This forces the employee to save without any effort but, due to this, workers began to neglect the social security and entirely dropped the use of the original pension plan.
A report made by Sherwin Rosen in 1997 stated “subsidies of child care services lead to a substantial misallocation of resources that slows economic growth.” (Aslaksen, Koren, & Stokstad, 2000) Rosen also believes “taxes and subsidies distort market prices, leading to inefficient allocation of goods and services.” (Aslaksen, Koren, & Stokstad, 2000) To continue subsidies, taxes have to be increased in other areas, such as goods and labor causing a loss of demand and supply. (Aslaksen, Koren, & Stokstad, 2000) Elimination of the subsidies would not only affect those receiving it, it would force a parent to withdraw their child from a day care center. (Mortini, 2009) Day care centers would be forced to scale back their business and eventually lay off employees. More loss of business would cause the centers to close, forcing more people on unemployment and welfare which tax payers pay. (Mortini, 2009) “Each unemployed citizen is a stone in the pond.
