Who knows... Find out both their turnovers and compare them.

Khan · September 10, 2004

EA - $530 million

Intel - $2.5 billion

I think Intel wins.

erjin999 · September 10, 2004

Maybe he meant the....no, I haven't got a clue what he meant... :O

EA would lose except in maybe bigger name (Electronic Arts vs Intel)

d3m0nger · September 11, 2004

Thanks for clearing that up Khan! :P

I dunno what he meant either. .

Super-ness · September 11, 2004

wow intel rock

thanks kanh

Khan · September 11, 2004

AMD - $1.2 billion

Intel is probably one of the biggest companies in the world, apart from Oil industries.

Apollyon · September 11, 2004

Sales target for EA 2004 = 2 billion USD

Sales target for Intel 2004 = 8 billion USD

There is nothing small about either company.

d3m0nger · September 11, 2004

You said Intel really really isn't bigger than EA... I don't know what ur point is, but nevermind

Apollyon · September 11, 2004

No, I said that EA is not 'small in comparison to INTEL',

I probably thought you were exaggerating the 'smallness' of EA, since with a sales target of 2 billion, it is anything but small.

erjin999 · September 12, 2004

If start a company and make a sales target of a trillion dollars, does that make my company the biggest ? I wouldn't make 20 bucks. What does a sales target mean ? Should we look at turnover...

exatreide · September 12, 2004

EA hosted a nanscar event...

Turnover was similar last year, that's why the sales targets are set where they are. Intel is set to make lower than last year this year, though, but they've set it that high all the same.

where did you get those statistics from kahn?

Andrew · September 12, 2004

A sales target is the amount of sales that a company is forecasting.

Say I want to sell 100 hotdogs at a hotdog stand, that is my sales target.

Sales target can also relate to a profit or revenue target.

There is TP (Target profit in units) = (FC+TP)/(P-V)

And TP (Target profit in Dollars) = (FC+TP)/(1-V/P)

FC= Fixed cost

P= Selling Price per unit

V= Variable Cost per unit

V/P= Ratio of variable costs to selling price

This deals quite a bit with C-V-P (Cost-Volume-Profit).

CVP analysis focuses on relationships between cost, revenue, and volume of output.

It basicly is an estimate of the future income of a company.

Guess Bus 252 really paid off. :)

Yawn ! Huh ? Oh....paid off ? I think we are paying for it now ! Heheh. Joking ;)

Seriously though, I think most people would agree Intel is bigger, and neither company is small by anyones standards (any one here that is)

Andrew · September 13, 2004

They are both the largest companys in their industries.

Well I did pay to take Bus 252 Managerial Science II.

You can glady pay for it!

$435 a course plus $14.50 for the booklet.

erjin999 · September 13, 2004

Money well spent, I am shure. Alas, I cannot gladly make a donation...because I wouldn't be glad if I did.

You learn that stuff at uni??

Andrew · September 14, 2004

Much more than that.

That was only in one course involving part of one chapter.

I am supposed to take 10 courses a year for 4 years. = 40 or more courses.

3 semester hours a week.

It all depends on what you want to learn, which involves your degree, minor(s) (possible) and whatever electives you want to pick.

I plan on getting BBA (Bachelors Business Administration) and a minor in economics (need 2 more courses at the 300 or 400 level for economics minor).

BUS 331C

Apollyon · September 14, 2004

I think his point is that we learn that at school here.

erjin999 · September 14, 2004

I guess I should have attened school then. :P

Andrew · September 14, 2004

At high school?

I came from a pretty small high school that didn't have any advanced courses.

So we didn't learn any of that stuff.

Did you also learn EOQ (Economic Order Quantity = [(2*D*S)/(Q/2*H)]^1/2 ) and EPQ (Economic Production Quantity = [(2*D*S)/H]^1/2*[p/(p-u)]^1/2 )?

Oops thats from another chapter. Maybe I should go to school there and get a free education :D

Screw paying tuition.

Dunenewt · September 14, 2004

We had Business Studies which I did until 16 which covered running the business and the basics of economics, such as the break-even analysis and acid test ratio, and then you can take either Business Studies or Economics for an A-Level, which is a two year course.

Cyborg · September 24, 2004

We learnt hat at high-school here, if you choose Economics.

erjin999 · September 25, 2004

Choose economics ? you mean like not get forced to do it ? You would do that to yourself ? Sheeesh ! :-

Joking...I am shure for some people economics is not some strange weird language...
