Consumers POVAndriod tablet costs $299 and iPad costs $499 when both products satisfy the same demand (basic feature and internet connectivity). Hence, consumer would purchase tablet PC instead.
PRICE OF SUBSTITUTES

Ipad provides a more applications than tablet PC hence provides maximum satisfaction. However, tablet PC contains features such as Flash and multitasking capabilities which is superior to that of iPad. Thus, consumers would prefer tablet PC over Ipad.

Producers POVPrice of the product
An increase in the price of iPad will increase the quantity supplied of iPad. The prices of each iPad have been cut by $100. Thus, the quantity of iPad being supplied will fall as well.Effect: iPads would be heavily discounted. When the price falls, more people are willing and able to buy, and as the target crowd expands, more people would be influenced to purchase iPad.

Changes in the number of sellersAn increase in production of iPad is reported with increasing demand as Apple ramps up iPad production drastically. Apple will continue to dominate the tablet industry. Effect: iPad will continue to be heavily demanded if prices does not rise. For maximum profit gain, producer would not increase the price. Also, less consumers will be willing to pay.
