Answer:

option (B) 0.012634

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Expected return         Probability

         16.5%                     80%

        -11.6%                      20%

Now,

Mean return = ∑( Probability × Expected return )

= ( 0.8 × 16.5% ) + ( 0.2 × (-11.6%) )

= 13.2% - 2.32%

= 10.88%

Thus,

Variance = ∑(Probability × [ Expected return - Mean return ]² )

=  0.8 × ( 16.5% - 10.88% )² + 0.2 × ( -11.6% - 10.88% )²

= 0.8 × ( 5.62% )² + 0.2 × (-22.48%)²

= 0.8 × 0.0562² + 0.2 × 0.2248²

= 0.002526752 + 0.010107008

= 0.01263376 ≈ 0.012634

Hence,

The correct answer is option (B) 0.012634

Suppose all the producers sell toasters through Wal-Mart, and WalMart lets producers choose from 2 options. With Option A, a pro
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

see explaination

Explanation:

1. A low-quality producer will not provide any warranty, because he knows there will be more warranty claims.

He will choose option B.

Example:

Option B:

Toaster sell 100

Price $10

Sales = $1000

Profit = $100 (let's say it costs him $9 to make it).

Toaster sell 35 (as 5 times high price).

Price $49

Sales = $1725

Warranty Expense (let's say, due to multiple times claims) = $1500

Profit = -$90 (let's say it costs him $9 to make it).

2. A high-quality producer will provide any warranty because he knows there will be very very few warranty claims.

He will choose option B.

3. Yes, the act of offering free warranty will go a long way in conveying a positive signal to customers that the brand is providing quality product & it trusts its product.
