Would it be wise for a brick-and-mortar retailer thatwants to stop showrooming to use wireless-jammingtechnologies to prevent people from using smartphonesinside its stores? Why or why not?
Suppose that a large discount retailer with a lot of purchasingpower in a supply chain requires that all suppliers incorpo-rate a new information system that will reduce the cost of placing orders between the retailer and its suppliers as wellas between the suppliers and their suppliers. Suppose alsothat order quantities and lead times are related; the smallerthe order quantity the shorter the lead time from suppliers.Assume that all members of the supply chain use a continu-ous review system and EOQ order quantities. Explain the im-plications of the new information system for the supply chainin general and the inventory systems of the supply chainmembers in particular
Assume Allergan, Inc. is facing a capacity constraint in manufacturing Botox®. Analytically, this implies its marginal cost curve is extremely steep. As Botox® is oftentimes used for cosmetic reasons, it is reasonable to assume consumers have quite elastic demand curves. Hypothetically, assume a forthcoming study will highlight the safety of Botox® for cosmetic procedures. Given this potential study, where should Allergan, Inc. focus its strategic resources? a. Operations, specifically finding ways to lower costs in an effort to justify a price increase. b. Staffing, specifically preparing to significantly increase its staff to prepare for a large increase in the number of units of Botox® sold. c. Marketing/Pricing, specifically preparing to significantly raise the price for Botox®.

Happy Bubble Tea, Inc., which has been given a limited license, runs a network of bubble tea shops in Country A. Under the current business model, Happy Bubble Tea, Inc.'s marginal cost and average total cost per cup are both $16. This company's inverse demand function is P = 40 - 0.004Q. 1(a) With the aid of a diagram, calculate the profit-maximising level of output and price and profit. 1(b) What procurement method will you suggest Happy Bubble Tea to purchase the tea bags it used for making its bubble tea from its suppliers? Explain.
COURSE: MICROECONOMICS - Cournot Model:In the market for a given good there are only 2 firms satisfying the demand, and their respective total cost functions respond to the form: CTi = 10Qi + 5 and the demand is estimated to be: P = 31 - QIf the decision variable for both firms is that the quantity they will produce and realize will be decided simultaneously it is asked to:(a) calculate the profit and reaction function of each firmb) graph market equilibriumc) calculate the profits that both companies will obtain in equilibrium
As the new general manager of the Grand Palladium Jamaica luxury all-inclusive resort, youare assessing your pricing policies. Currently, the price of a weekend stay is $2,000 perguest. You estimate the marginal cost of serving a guest at $1,600, and while yourpredecessor unfortunately did not leave you data from the pricing experiments and testmarketing she performed, you do know that such experiments were done, and that yourpredecessor was competent.a. What is your best estimate of the elasticity of demand for a weekend stay at the GrandPalladium?b. Your learned that at the current price, the resort is only 80% full on the weekends.Remembering the sense of belonging that you experienced in a crowded subway duringthe rush hour, you contemplate lowering the price so the resort is completely full. What isyour back-of-the-envelope calculation for how much you need to lower the price?c. After some thought you cooled to the idea of full occupancy. Instead, you focused yourenergy and…
ASAP PLZ You are the manager of Taurus Technologies, and your sole competitor is Spyder Technologies. The two firms’ products are viewed as identical by most consumers. The relevant cost functions are C(Qi) = 2Qi, and the inverse market demand curve for this unique product is given by P = 650 −3 Q. Currently, you and your rival simultaneously (but independently) make production decisions, and the price you fetch for the product depends on the total amount produced by each firm. However, by making an unrecoverable fixed investment of $1,800, Taurus Technologies can bring its product to market before Spyder finalizes production plans.

V5. You are the manager of Taurus Technologies, and your sole competitor is Spider Technologies. The two firms' products are viewed as identical by most consumers. The relevant cost functions are C(Qi) = 2Qi, and the inverse market demand curve for this unique product is given by P =290 - 3Q. Currently, you and your rival simultaneously (but independently) make production decisions, and the price you fetch for the product depends on the total amount produced by each firm. However, by making an unrecoverable fixed investment of $500, Taurus Technologies can bring its product to market before Spyder finalizes production plans. (Assume Taurus Technologies is the leader in this scenario.) What are your profits if you do not make investment? What are your profits if you do make investment? Instructions: Do not include the investment of $500 as part of your profit calculation. Should you invest the $500? no or yes
Suppose Fiat recently entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Case for $4.3 billion. Prior to the merger, the market for four-wheel-drive tractors consisted of five firms. The market was highly concentrated, with a Herfindahl-Hirschman index of 2,765. Case’s share of that market was 22 percent, while Fiat comprised just 12 percent of the market. If approved, by how much would the postmerger Herfindahl-Hirschman index increase? Based only on this information, do you think the Justice Department would challenge the merger? Explain.
Alert dont submit AI generated answer. 2. There are N consumers uniformly distributed along a linear city of unit length, served by two shops located at opposite extremities of the city. The two shops sell an identical product, for which consumers have unit demands, and they have identical constant marginal costs of 2 and no fixed costs. The cost to consumers of travelling the length of the city is 4. a) Making clear your assumptions and calculations, work out the optimal prices the shops should charge for the product, and their profits in terms of N. How does your result relate to the so-called Bertrand Paradox? b) Explain why it is optimal for the shops to locate at opposite ends of the city. c) Suppose one shop only has a marginal cost of 1, but there are no other changes to the setting. Calculate the optimal prices for the shops, and their profits in terms of N.
