Wayne Enterprises had several salespersons that worked for a contract salary. To encourage them to make more sales, Wayne offered a $5,000 bonus to the
salesperson who had the highest total dollar value the following month. That next month, Wendy had the highest sales. When Wendy received her next paycheck,
there was no bonus. If Wendy sues Wayne to recover the $5,000 bonus, the likely result will be
A. Wendy will lose because she already had a contract so there was no consideration
B. Wendy will win because the offer of a bonus for high sales constituted consideration because it entailed additional performance by both parties
C. Wendy will lose unless the promise was in writing.
D. Wendy will win because of moral consideration

Dataware is trying to determine whether to give a $10 rebate, cut the price $6, or have no price change on a software product. Currently, 40,000 units of the product are sold each week for $45 apiece. The variable cost ofthe product is $5. The most likely case appears to bethat a $10 rebate will increase sales 30%, and half of all people will claim the rebate. For the price cut, the most likely case is that sales will increase 20%.a. Given all other assumptions, what increase in sales from the rebate would make the rebate and price cut equally desirable?b. Dataware does not really know the increase in sales that will result from a rebate or price cut. However, the company is sure that the rebate will increase sales by between 15% and 40% and that the pricecut will increase sales by between 10% and 30%.Perform a sensitivity analysis that could be used to help determine Dataware’s best decision.

Problem # 4
Rail Tours, Inc., sells packaged tours on rail lines, including gourmet meals and a reserved bed. The most popular tours are in the autumn, when foliage colors are at their peak. The overnight package for Saturday and Sunday morning are especially heavily booked. A market survey firm has just completed a study in which they conclude that if the package cost is $200 per couple, then Rail Tours can expect to sell 400 spaces on a typical Saturday. If the price is raised to $225, then unit sales will drop to 390. If the price is raised further to $250, unit sales drop to 380.
a) From the data given, write down the demand equation and determine its intercepts. Are there any precautions needed when operating at the extreme ends of the demand curve?
b) The survey firm also reports that if per capita income changes, Rail Tours can expect a large change in bookings. In particular, if per capita income falls by 1%, then bookings will tend to fall by about 2%. Are tour packages…

Marta and Sara are two students that devote part of their free time to doing surveys for a market research company. The income obtained from this activity depends on the number of surveys they do, bearing in mind that the girls may freely choose the interviewees. As they both live in the same neighborhood in case, they just interview their neighbors (N), they compete for the same people and their monthly income is about 250 Euros. If they both choose to go to other neighborhoods of the city and interview strangers (S), they can carry out more surveys and both their incomes would be 400. If one of them decides to go and interview people in another neighborhood but the other one does not, the former will obtain income for 500, and the latter for 300, and vice versa. After receiving the order from the company, Marta is always the one who starts to work first. Sara has information about the places where Marta has done the surveys. Please:…

An attempt is successful if there is no border guard at the crossing, and unsuccessful if there is a guard at the crossing. Country A has only 1 border guard. Model the game in which a resident of country B attempts to enter country A at one of the 3 border crossings, and the government of country A chooses to post its border guard at one of the 3 border crossings.

Question-
In Parkland County there are three residents: ANDREW, BETH, CATHY. They exercise different amounts and have different marginal benefits for any given size of public park. The marginal benefits for each person are: MBA (A) =6-A/4; MBB (A) =14-A; MBC (A)=15-3A, where subscripts denote each person. The marginal cost of A acres of park is 18.
Suppose the county government informs the voters that for each unit of A, each person will pay a tax of $6. What would be each person's preferred size of A? What would be the size of A that would result from voting?
Suppose that the government of Parkland decides that it wants to provide the efficient size of park. Further suppose that the government decides it is now willing to charge different people a different tax to meet this goal. What would be the size of A ? How much will the government charge each person?

Government support for the development of Covid-19 vaccines took two different forms. Some firms accepted grants (a.k.a, direct monetary support) for vaccine development and testing. As a condition of the grant, the government has options to purchase a first and specific number of vaccine doses. Other firms chose not to accept grants. Instead they negotiated advanced-purchase agreement to support pre-approval manufacturing of vaccines. The purchase agreement stipulates that payment will be made upon delivery of the pre-specified number of doses.
1. Is the successful development and delivery of a vaccine for Covid-19 virus risky or an uncertainty?
2. In the case of direct support agreements, who bears the cost of failure?
