The additional costs are perceived as a kind of tax because they are felt to be compulsory. When addressing the question of whether, or to what degree, a pink tax actually exists it is important to pay attention to the terms of the inquiry. In this case the framing of the problem has an impact on the potential solutions to the problem. If indeed it can be regarded as a genuine tax, the ultimate source of the problem is the government. In that instance, the obvious solution would be for women to pursue political remedies through voting, lobbying, and seeking judicial relief from predatory pricing. On the other hand, if the term amounts to taxing only in the colloquial or everyday sense there may be market solutions that can help.

- Women sue Apple, claim AirTags helped exes stalk them Apple has been sued by two women who said its AirTag devices have made it easier for former partners and other stalkers to track down victims. Starting at $29 US ($39 Cdn), AirTags are 3.2 centimetres in diameter and intended to be slipped into or attached to keys, wallets, backpacks and other items so people can find those items when they are lost. But privacy experts and law enforcement have said some people use AirTags for criminal or malicious purposes. In the proposed class action filed on Monday in San Francisco federal court, the women said Apple has been unable to protect people from unwanted tracking through AirTag since launching what it called the "stalker-proof" device in April 2021. The plaintiffs called AirTag "the weapon of choice of stalkers and abusers."

Which brand would this consumer likely choose? One way consumers can evaluate alternatives is to identify important attributes and assess how purchase alternatives perform on those attributes. Consider the purchase of a notebook computer. Each attribute, such as memory, is given a weight to reflect its level of importance to that consumer. Then the consumer evaluates each alternative on each attribute. For example, in the table, memory (weighted at 0.5) is the most important computer purchase attribute for this consumer. The consumer believes that Brand C performs best on memory, rating it 7 (higher ratings indicate higher performance). Brand B rates worst on this attribute (rating of 3). Size and price are the consumer’s next most important attributes. Warranty is least important. A score can be calculated for each brand by multiplying the importance weight for each attribute by the brand’s score on that attribute. These weighted…arrow_forwardIs there the possibility of a disadvantage while using the B2C model? Explain.arrow_forward
