- Plum charges £500 for its smartphone, producing a revenue of £8 million per month. It fears that a competitor, MV, will shortly make a price reduction of 10% for its product. The marketing manager is considering whether to match this price reduction in order to try and maintain sales. She has estimated that Plum’s PED is –1.5 and the CED with the competitor’s product is 0.8. The marginal cost is estimated to be 42% of the price. a) Calculate the effect on Plum’s sales volume and revenue assuming it maintains its price at the existing level. b) Calculate how much of a price cut Plum would need to make to maintain its sales volume at the existing level. c) Evaluate whether the price cut is a good strategyIt costs $1 million in R&D to develop a new diabetes treatment.

Use the tabular method (see Table 13.3).Amir operates a large lobster boat. The operating cost for the boat is $2,250 each day. At the end of each day, he sells allhis freshly caught lobster to either the local restaurant or the local grocery store with the following conditions:.The price per pound that the restaurant is willing to pay follows a triangular distribution with minimum value $1.50,maximum value $5.50, and likeliest value $3.50.• The price per pound that the grocery store is willing to pay is decreasing with more lobsters: $3.85 - $0.0005 *y,where y is the total lobster amount sold in pounds.• The amount of lobster that Amir catches in a single day follows a normal distribution with mean 1,500 pounds andstandard deviation sqrt(12,500) pounds.Amir decides to sell a fixed percentage of lobster to the local restaurant and the rest to local grocery stores. Using eithermath or simulation, can you help Amir determine what percentage he should choose in order to maximize his expected profitin the long run?Your current prices are $311 in the Southwestern region; $278 in the western-region and $240 in the New England region. Your marginal cost is now $212.21.
