What’s the price scaling for businesses?

Solution 1:

As you can see here there is a coefficient. This coefficient is the increase in price after buying another business (lemonade stand/news paper/etc). As you can see, the coefficient for news paper is the highest, 1.15, which confirms your observation in comparison with Oil Company, which is 1.07.

So in short, the 'scaling' for each business is:

  • Lemonade Stand 1.07
  • Newspaper Delivery 1.15
  • Car Wash 1.14
  • Pizza Delivery 1.13
  • Donut Shop 1.12
  • Shrimp Boat 1.11
  • Hockey Team 1.10
  • Movie Studio 1.09
  • Bank 1.08
  • Oil Company 1.07
