A computer reseller needs to decide how many laptops to order next month. The lowest end laptop costs $220 and the retailer can sell these for $300. However, the laptop manufacturer already announced that they are coming out with a new model in a couple of months. Any laptops that will not be sold by the end of next month will have to be heavily discounted at half-price. The reseller also needs to consider that every time he fails to fulfill a laptop order, he stands to lose $25 for every unit. Based on the past months’ sales, the reseller estimates the demand probabilities for sales (S) as follows: P(0 units) = 0.3; P(1 units) = 0.4; P(2 units) = 0.2; P(3 units) =0.1. The reseller thinks it’s a good idea to conduct a survey on whether or not his customers are going to buy laptops and how many. The survey results will either be Yes (Y), No (N) or Don’t Know (DK). The probability estimates of the results based on the demand for number of units are: P(Y|S = 0 units) = 0.1 P(Y|S = 1…

. You are the Director of your state's Department of Transportation. A railroad operating in your state has just served notice of its intentions to abandon a 25 mile branch line. Two towns are located on this branch line. The first town is a small agriculture community of 3,000 located 8 miles from the junction of the railroad's mainline. The town has a grain elevator which has traditionally shipped 70% of its tons by rails. The second community located at the end of the branch line has a population of 16,000. The economy of the second town is dependent upon two manufacturing firms who also use rail extensively for receiving and shipping goods. The closing of the branch line has become a political "hot potato." The lawmakers and the Governor are concerned that if the freight transportation demands of the manufacturing companies cannot be met, they will eventually leave the communities. However, both companies indicated that they would stay if adequate facilities or transportation…

You are a developer that has just finished writing a new game and would like to publish it with this platform’s store. You do not expect to incur in any more costs developing the product. The app store typically keeps 20% of your revenue but, in order to give an incentive to sellers, the app store will only charge 15% of revenue to successful apps selling more than 60,000 units a year, and 10% to top-selling apps with more than 85,000 units sold. Assume that there are no extra (in-game) charges beyond the price to acquire the game. Using the data in the table below, at what price should you sell your game at?
