AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the necessary ARPU discounts for voice services across various countries to achieve specific cumulative reductions by the end of years three and four. It emphasizes the arithmetic involved in determining these discounts, highlighting that a cumulative reduction of 27% requires an additional 5% discount in year three and an 8% discount in year four. Participants also discuss forecasting actual savings for customers and Vodafone's year-over-year revenue for voice services. The calculations are based on existing ARPU figures and connections in each country. Accurate forecasting is crucial for strategic financial planning in the commercial delivery sector.

Savings Analysis
Please proceed with the following calculations, based on the data you can find in the attached Excel sheet:
  • Forecast the ARPUs for voice services by country: Determine the ARPU discounts that are needed by country in order to deliver cumulative reduction of 27% by the end of year 3 and 35% by the end of year 4
  • Forecast the Actual savings of the customer over the life of the deal in total and by country
  • Forecast the YOY revenue of Vodafone for voice services in total and by country

Do you understand what "cumulative" means? If you do you should recognize this as simple arithmetic.
You want "a cumulative reduction of 27% by the end of year 3 and 35% by the end of year 4".
The first reduction is 12% and the second is 10%. That is a cumulative 12+ 10= 22%. To get a cumulative reduction of 27% the next next year, the amount for that year must be 27- 22= 5%. To get a cumulative reduction of 35% by the fourth year, the amount for that year must be 35- 27= 8%. 12+ 10+ 5= 27 and 12+ 10+ 5+ 8= 35.
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
