The following appeared in a memorandum from a company's marketing department.
"Since our company started manufacturing and marketing a deluxe air filter six months ago, sales of our economy filter -- and company profits -- have decreased significantly. The deluxe air filter sells for 50 percent more than the economy filter, but the economy filter lasts for only one month while the deluxe filter can be used for two months before it must be replaced. To increase repeat sales of our economy filter and maximize profits, we should discontinue the deluxe air filter and concentrate all our advertising efforts on the economy filter."

公司市场部的备忘录:
"由于我公司6个月前开始生产和销售豪华型空气过滤器，我们的经济型过滤器的销售和公司利润显著地下降了。豪华型过滤器比经济型的贵50％，但是在需要更换前经济型只能使用一个月，而豪华型是2个月。为了提高经济型过滤器的重复销售和利润的最大化，我们应停止豪华型空气过滤器，而集中所有广告能力到经济型过滤器上。"
