> was first released in 2004 for around $120 ... still sells for nearly the same price [$102.99]... One analyst placed the cost to produce a TI-84 Plus at around $15-20, meaning TI sells it for a profit margin of nearly 50% — far above the electronics industry’s average margin of 6.7%.
Wouldn't that be a 81% - 85% margin? (gross profit / revenue)
Edit: I finally got through the paywalled article they were quoting. It says "over 50%". Retail distributors take a margin, so that is probably where the uncertainty is coming from.
- melq 7y agoI was wondering the same. Also annoyed that an article about math/calculators called 120 and ~103 'nearly the same'... thats ~16% less!
