Problem 11-5 Next week, Super Discount Airlines has a flight from New York to Los Angeles that will be booked to capacity. The a

irline knows from past history that an average of 40 customers (with a standard deviation of 26) cancel their reservation or do not show for the flight. Revenue from a ticket on the flight is $140. If the flight is overbooked, the airline has a policy of getting the customer on the next available flight and giving the person a free round-trip ticket on a future flight. The cost of this free round-trip ticket averages $270. Super Discount considers the cost of flying the plane from New York to Los Angeles a sunk cost. By how many seats should Super Discount overbook the flight? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given α-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Overbooked by passengers

Answer:

29 Seats

Explanation:

Calculation to determine By how many seats should Super Discount overbook the flight

First step is to calculate the Critical ratio using this formula

Critical ratio=Cu/Cu +Co

Where,

Cu represent cost of underestimating the demand =$140

Co represent the cost of overestimating the demand =$270

Let plug in the formula

Critical ratio=$140/$140+$270

Critical ratio=$140/$410

Critical ratio=0.34146

Second step is to use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find thez-score that yields a p-value of 0.34146 which gives us -0.40848

Now let determine By how many seats should Super Discount overbook the flight

Numbers of seats to overbook the flight= 40 + (-0.40848 x 26)

Numbers of seats to overbook the flight=40 - 10.62048=

Numbers of seats to overbook the flight=29.37952

Numbers of seats to overbook the flight=29.4 seats (Approximately)

Numbers of seats to overbook the flight=29 seats (Rounded to the nearest whole number)

Therefore By how many seats should Super Discount overbook the flight is 29 seats

If the number of firms in a monopolistically competitive industry increases and the degree of product differentiation diminishes
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

C) the industry would more closely approximate pure competition

Explanation:

A monopolistically competitive industry is one with different firms selling similar products that are slightly differentiated. It is very easy for firms to enter into industries that are monopolistically competitive. They also have the autonomy to increase their prices.

If the number of firms in a monopolistically competitive industry increases and the degree of product differentiation diminishes they would then resemble a pure competition because they would all be selling identical products which would result in little or no competition.

DENIUS [597]

Answer: (1) 120,675

(2) 60,450

Explanation:

(1) Nominal GDP, year 2 ($) = Sum of (Year 2 price × Year 2 quantity)

                                              = 150 × 4.50 + 1,200 × 100

                                              = 675 + 120,000

                                            = 120,675

(2) Real GDP, year 2 ($) = Sum of (Year 1 price x Year 2 quantity)

                                        = 3 × 150 + 50 × 1200

                                       = 450 + 60,000

                                        = 60,450

Q 6.29: Accurate Auditing is conducting an inventory count for Blake Industries. Blake intermingles empty boxes with full boxes
Rasek [7]

Answer:

The asset would have been overestimated

Explanation:

An inventory account deals with assigning values to all the items or goods that are involved in the production process ranging from raw goods, processed goods to market-ready goods.

<em>An inventory represents an asset to a company. Hence, the presence of empty boxes in the storeroom if otherwise taken as full boxes will lead to an overestimation of the asset unless they are discovered.</em>

Explain one situation when you will use these two pricing strategies penetration pricing and skimming prices
Dominik [7]

Answer:

An electronic news portal that offers one complimentary month for something like a free trial service or an institution that offers a free bank account for 6 months are both instances of penetration pricing.

A pricing technique known as price skimming is establishing a premium charge when other rivals enter the market. For instance, the Playstation 3 was initially priced at $599 in the United States, but has now been lowered to around $200.
