Consumers aren’t going to purchase a new smartphone if the price is going to be in the same range of the Galaxy Note 7. So we are going to be selling the smartphone at a discount. We are using odd-even pricing for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. It gives a sense to the consumer that they will be purchasing the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 at a bargain, instead of using the even pricing method. The cost to make the smartphone itself is around $275. There will be a picture below that will explain the details of the build of the smart phone. For the breakeven I subtracted the Total Cost from the Total Revenue.
