You are considering adding a new food product to your store for resale. You are certain that, in a month, minimum demand for the

product will be 5 units, while maximum demand will be 8 units. (Unfortunately, the new product has a one-month shelf life and is considered to be waste at the end of the month.) You will pay $70/unit for this new product while you plan to sell the product at $100 ($30/unit profit). The estimated demand for this new product in any given month is 5 units (p=0.2), 6 units (p=0.2), 7 units (p=0.4), and 8 units (p=0.2).
Required:

Answer:

Using EMV analysis, the number of units of the new product should be purchased for resale = Purchase 7.

The maximum EMV of profit you can make is 270.

Explanation:

We can use the following method to solve the given problem

Solution:

Using EMV analysis,

EMV (Purchase 6 for resale)= 6(40)(0.1) + 6(40)(0.4) + 6(40)(0.5)=240

EMV (Purchase 7 for resale) = [6(40)-60](0.1) +7(40)(0.4) + 7 (40)(0.5) = 270

EMV (Purchase 8 for resale) = [6(40)-2(60)] (0.1) + [7 (40) - 60] (0.4) + 8(40)(0.5)= 260

Largest EMV= 270; Choose to purchase 7 units for resale.

Salespeople selling in foreign markets should tailor their presentations and closing styles to each market.​
Rasek [7]

The best answer to this question would be (A) True.

This is because culture will impact how your potential customers view your product. Even in the same country, different approaches should be used if the cultural divide is too vast between one area to the other.

An approach that works, for example, for urban customers in New York City, might not work with another set of urban customers based in Tokyo. Recognizing what works for each market means that you will be able to reap the best outcome possible from all of them.

A real estate agent is considering changing her cell phone plan. There are three plans to choose from, all of which involve a mo
Anni [7]

Answer:

req 1)

Plan A

0.42 x 150 + 0.17 x 70 = 74.9

Plan B

0.52 x 150 + 0.15 x 70 = 88.5

Plan C  $80

req 2)

from 0 to 190 minutes Plan A

from 191 and beyond Plan C

req 3)

the proportion should be 1/6 daycalls and 5/6 evenings

Explanation:

150 day calls

70 minutes evening calls

Plan A

0.42 x 150 + 0.17 x 70 = 74.9

Plan B

0.52 x 150 + 0.15 x 70 = 88.5

Plan C  $80

2) A will be preferable to B as it has the lower cost

now at some point C will be better as the cost is a flat rate

80 dollars / 0.42 per minute = 190.47

3) 0.42X + 0.17Y = 0.52X + 0.15Y

a minute of daycall is 10 cent higher in plan B

while a minute of evening call is 2 cent lower

thus, to balance there was to be 5 times more evening call than day times:

1:5 1 + 5 = 6

the proportion should be 1/6 daycalls and 5/6 evenings

The Fed has decided to expand the money supply, leading to lower interest rates. As a partner in a tech start-up, you react to t
Alona [7]

Answer:

A, B and D

Explanation:

Expanding the money supply is an exercise of expansionary monetary policy.

This decision will first allow our tech startup to acquire cheaper loans and expand our operations, this expansion in operations will result in new employment opportunities and hence as a result, unemployment will be reduced assuming this is a general trend in the economy.

This decision also directly reflects an increased investment and hence the GDP on the whole and the investment part of GDP would both increase,

GDP = C + I + G + (X - M), where I = investment.

This change in macro economy will increase aggregate demand due to expansionary effects. Increase in imports is not conclusive as it may or may not happen depending upon the demand state.

Hope this helps.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

(g) Between 0 and -S7.5k because residents can substitute to other products

Explanation:

Data given in the question

Increase in price of typical soda = 10 cents

Total consumed = 150,000 sodas [er day

Dropped quantity = 75,000 sodas

So by considering the above information, the per day compensating variation of the tax varies from 0 and - 7,500

Since the sugar sweetened sodas is treated as a normal goods. Moreover, people can substitute the other goods also if there is an increase in a price of the good

The -7,500 is come from = (-75,000 × 0.10)

The options are as follows

(a) Greater than -$15k because soda is a luxury good with income (b) -$15k because that is the old consumption level times the value of the tax (c) Between -S7.5k and -$15k because soda is a luxury good elasticity > 1 with income elasticity >1 (d) Between -$7.5k arti -$15k because residents can substitute to other products (e) -$7.5k because that is the new consumption level times the value of the tax ()-$7.5k because that is the change in consumption times the value of the tax (g) Between 0 and -S7.5k because residents can substitute to other products (h) Between 0 and -$7.5k because because beverages are typically necessity goods with 6) Nothing because there was no effect on income G) It is impossible to say without knowing consumers' marginal rate of substitution income elasticity less than 1
