  • the stock closed last Friday at $467, well off the 52-week high of $705
  • 5C as an attempt to shore up the low end of the market
  • expand market share

  • price of the 5C, starting at $99 for what a U.S. consumer would pay with a two-year service commitment with a mobile carrier, was nowhere near low enough
  • more price sensitive
  • missed its opportunity to improve its standing in such important markets as China and India
  • a small share would be a significant boost over previous years
  • sold out virtually everywhere
  • old out customer satisfaction and convenience to fuel its need for PR

    This article describes the sales of the new Iphone 5s and 5c over the first weekend. They had a great number of sales, however the demand for the Iphone 5c is not what they expected. It is said that the price is still too high for their target market. Apple was hoping to expand their market into Asia by producing a cheaper version of the IPhone in order to increase their market share, however it is likely that they will fail to do so, because the demand will remain low as the product is still not affordable for many Asians. Relating to our question of the week, the price helps allocate a product in the free market because it determines who the target market is, and if the pricing is off, it will effect the efficiency of the sales.

Equilibrium Ireland Banks Allocated Efficiency EU Bailout

    Please excuse if I am wrong because I am admittedly not completely sure if I am interpreting this right. I believe that this article tells us that Ireland's banks up to now were in no state of allocated efficiency because the equilibrium had to be manually shifted by the EU paying money to the irish banks. This however has changed now because they are leaving the bailout program which shows that they are trying to get onto their own feet again, and no longer need help from the EU. From this I can conclude that the Irish banks are at least moving towards a state of allocated efficiency again.
