Bess [88]

Answer:

Selling cotton shirts at a high-street store:

Manufacture: First, the factory manufactures shirts using raw materials they’ve purchased from suppliers.

Quality control: The shirts go through quality control to check for defects and to ensure uniformity among all the shirts. Quality inspectors are paid to ensure that shirts are free of defects.

Packaging/transportation: After the quality control process, the factory packages the shirts and hires transportation services to transport the shirts to the retail outlet.  

Labeling: At a retail outlet, each type of shirt is valued and receives a price tag based on the discount that the storeowner decides to offer consumers.  

Selling: Consumers choose between many types of shirts and may decide to purchase the shirt based on the quality and price.

Selling hamburgers at a fast-food restaurant:

Buying the ingredients: Headquarters buy ingredients from meat suppliers.

Assembly process: A team of chefs starts the preparation by chopping and assembling all the ingredients. Another team of chefs makes the burgers, and the ingredients are ready for delivery. Chefs are paid to ensure burgers are prepared correctly and packaged to maximize shelf life.

Packaging: The packaging department packs the burger patties and hires a specialized transportation service to deliver the frozen patties to the restaurant.  

Selling: The restaurant prices the burgers and prepares them as customers order them. Customers can choose between this restaurant and another down the street.

Selling medicines at a drug store:

Manufacturing: A valid license holder manufactures the medicines. The manufacturer may hold the patent for certain drugs or may pay for the license to manufacture the drug.

Wholesalers: Wholesale dealers sell the medicines to pharmacies or other wholesalers.  

Selling: Pharmacies sell the medicines to consumers, who may have the choice to purchase other drugs, including generic drugs.

Selling gas at a gas station:

Production: The oil company has to drill underground to find oil. The operation is typically paid for by investors that hope to strike oil and sell the oil to a refinery.

Refining: The crude oil is then refined at a refinery, who purchases the oil from the drilling company.

Selling: The oil company sells the refined oil to gas stations, which sell the gas to consumers. Consumers have many choices for gasoline, so the market price is a buyers’ market.

13.10 Two risky gambles were proposed at the beginning of the chapter: Game 1: Win $30 with probability 0.5 Lose $1 with probabi
Lena [83]

Answer:

yes, it is true

Explanation:

the expected value of game 1 = ($30 x 0.5) + (-$1 x 0.5) = $15 - $0.50 = $14.50

  • since the expected value of game 1 is very high compared to the risk of losing, then most of us would probably want to play that game.

the expected value of game 2 = ($2,000 x 0.5) + (-$19,000 x 0.5) = $1,000 - $9,500 = -$8,500

  • on the contrary, since the expected value of game 2 is negative and the risk of losing a large amount is very high, very few people will be willing to play game 2 without being paid to do so.
