For a model year, they will manufacture their newest model of turntable, called "Orbitz", which will be sold through the record stores. It costs $60 for S- Curve to manufacture the turntables, which it then sells to Hullabaloo for $160. Hullabaloo Records then sells the turntables at retail for $260. Whatever doesn't sell gets put on clearance for $40. Demand for the turntable is expected to be normally distributed with a mean of 1833 and a standard deviation of 1092.

Jetair's strategy is to operate as a low-cost, high-efficiency airline, and it does this by: Operating mostly in secondary cities to reduce landing costs. ● Using only one type of aircraft in order to reduce maintenance and operational costs. These planes are leased rather than bought outright. Having only one category of seat class. Having no pre-allocated seats or in-flight entertainment. Focusing on e-commerce with customers, both booking tickets and checking in for flights online. The airline was given an 'on-time arrival' ranking of seventh best by the country's aviation authority, which ranks all 50 of the country's airlines based on the number of flights which arrive on time at their destinations. 48 Jetair flights were cancelled in 2013 compared to 35 in 2012. This increase was due to an increase in the staff absentee rate at Jetair from 3 days per staff…arrow_forward
