What of manpower and machine?

They even forgot to mention operating tax, warehousing cost, insurance, built in warranty cost, shipping, research and development etc. Business is not hook line sinker the way it was painted.

I got this breakdown of the production price and retail price and it left me with the conclusion that buying it is so irrational.



Wisdom and savings are the elements of wealth.

Good sir,

Did you also include the cost of shipment, labour costs, and other incidental costs from an accounting perspective?

There are quite a huge number of manufacturing costs that were not included in your basic analysis.

I'd suggest, instead of condemning a manufacturer's product, you make your choice as a consumer based on your pocket size.

Have a swell day.

na brand i go chop? Abi my tecno or infinix wont satisfy my needs in a smartphone, hyping too much, making you to reason with snus, if I'm as rich as dangote i will be using a phone that is cheaper than 120k, quote at your own peril
You are still thinking like a broke dude, and you are not Dangote and honestly might never come close to him. Its all about priorities anyways, not the money. Thats why somewhat worth 70 billion dollars may not buy an iPhone, but a Kim Kardashian worth less than a billion dollars would. Priorities bro...

Where do u think the money they use for marketing comes from? How will dey pay their engineers? Do u even know how much the mental effort put into the phone innovations cost? Do u know how many staffs apple hv to pay their salaries? Tecno cannot bill u such because they are aware the product isnt worth the price tag. There's something called goodwill, its like comparing an Aston martin car to a Toyota car. Thats how business works. No offence intended smiley

Have u gotten yours? Buy let's see.

Nansense!!!

Even if the sell it at that $292, some people will still complain.

If you have the money to buy it, buy.

If you don't have the money to buy it, then forget about it.

But let no man come here and start justifying for us why we must or mustn't buy something.

People buy things because of the perceived value they hope or intend to get from that commodity.

Thus, what you consider a total nonsense might be what someone somewhere is dying to possess.

paranorman:

hehehehehe... Your mentality is as expected.
Your view from the perspective of a consumer and I am thinking like a producer. Buy what you can afford or what makes sense to you. Your opinion will not stop people from buying the product here in Nigeria, even in this economic loophole we got ourselves in. Even as rich as Dangote is, he has got his own taste: he can't do cheap cars! ..... Maybe you're a student, maybe you still live with your parents. Maybe you're tenant, you will wanna build your own mansion to your taste and you'd probably buy Dangote cement, won't you? Or, would you?

My brother, we are from different worlds, I am a Martian.

Advice: Learn to express your opinion without insulting. 'twill help your spirit and make it pure!
wish he was half as sensible as you

and you are a rich dude right? I cant be dangote because you say so, i pity your mentality, i dont think so low of my self thats why am light yrs ahead of you, ecclesiastically myopic cretin, buying a costly iPhone is not a measure of wealth, someone who doesn't own a house can own an iPhone7 just for show off, but your peanut sized brain won't let you think beyond your nose.

It wasnt omitted. It's the difference between the production cost and retail price.
