Analysis of empirical sales data lead us to consider newsboy model for four practical market conditions arising from the presence/absence of stochastic lead time and exogenous linear temporal decline in selling price when distribution of the stochastic demand depends upon initial selling price. Viability of the solutions is discussed for three strategies of obtaining optimal initial selling price and/or ordering quantity. Numerical studies are conducted to assess the effects of lead time and price decline.
