1. For the year 2005, which company has realised the lowest average unit sales price for a
PC?
Although it seems to be Commodore, the answer cannot be determined due to the fact that we are
unaware of the break-up of the sales value and volume of companies compromising the other
categories.
2. Over the period 2005-2006, if sales (value-wise) of IBM PC's increased by 50% and of Apple
by 15% assuming that PC sales of all the other computer companies remained the same,
by what percentage (approximately) would the PC sales in New York (value-wise) increase
over the same period ?
