Consider a household consisting of four college friends. The friends have made a commitment to live together for the next five y

ears. Presently they live in Milwaukee where Abby will earn $200,000, Bonnie will earn $120,000, Cathy will earn $315,000, and Donna will earn $150,000 over the next five years. They have the option of moving to Miami. Moving to Miami would impose a one-time moving cost of $5,000 on each person. If they move to Miami, however, Abby will earn $180,000, Bonnie will earn $150,000, Cathy will earn $300,000, and Donna will earn $100,000 over the next five years. Moreover, each friend prefers to live in Miami over Milwaukee. In particular, Abby and Bonnie both value the quality of life in Miami versus Milwaukee over the next five years at $40,000 while Cathy and Donna place the value at $25,000 each. Should the household move to Miami or stay in Milwaukee? Is anyone a tiedmover or a tied stayer?

Answer:

  • move
  • none are tied

Explanation:

See the attached for a spreadsheet of the values given in the problem statement. We have simply added the salary to the value of the preference and subtracted the one-time moving expense.

The right-most column shows the net increase in value of moving to Miami for each of the householders. Bonnie achieves so much more value that her net value outweighs the rather significant hit in value that Donna experiences.

If the vote is by net value to the householders, they must vote to move. There are no householders that have a net zero change in value.

_____

<em>Comment on democracy</em>

A decision based on net value does not account for the rather significant cost to Donna. If the household values mental health and interpersonal relationships, the fact that one member suffers badly from the move should be enough to sway the decision against it.

After a product recall triggered by salmonella contamination and repeated violation citations by the health department, Mc Burge
Julli [10]

Answer:

McBurger Inc.

Introduction of Healthylicious-n-Safe

I think that McBurger should launch this new product.  If McBurger can capture more than 28% of the meatless burger market, it can break-even in 12 months and start earning huge profits in 18 months when there will be nil promotion costs.

Explanation:

Annual projected market sales of meatless burger = 1,250,000 boxes

Content of each box of Healthylicious-n-Safe = 8 burgers

Fixed cost per month = $35,000

Total annual fixed cost = $420,000 ($35,000 * 12)

Estimated variable cost of making one burger = $0.875

Estimated variable cost of a box of 8 burgers = $7 ($0.875 * 8)

Cost of promotional campaign in the first 12 months = $275,000

Total annual fixed cost including promotions = $695,000

Expected selling price per box of Healthylicious-n-Safe = $9

Estimated variable cost per box of Healthylicious-n-Safe    7

Contribution margin per box of Healthylicious-n-Safe =   $2

Sales units required to break-even = Total fixed costs/Contribution margin per box

= $695,000/$2 = 347,500 boxes

This sales units break-even point represents 27.8% of the meatless burger market (347,500/1,250,000 * 100)

As the average age of the population in his community is high, it is an opportunity for an entrepreneur who wishes to open a business providing "Fitness for Life" physical conditioning services (strength, balance, and flexibility training) in a city of 100,000 people because people will be more interested in the physical conditioning services and they will be attracted towards it as when the age rises, people become more interested in the health related activities, therefore, chances are very high that this will pose a serious and profitable opportunity for the entrepreneur in that particular city.
