Using anticipated sales data, recommend pricing of new tiers

In response to increased requests for a la carte pricing, a firm has decided to start a trial
offering of smaller program tiers. As the first step of the trial, two small program packages will
be offered to those using our basic package. The first is a sports package which includes
NBA TV and the Soccer Channel. The second is a music package that includes MTV2 and
