Resale Price Predatory Pricing Scenario Tying Maintenance Snackyville sells a wide variety of snacks to retail grocery stores. Snackyville recently released two new snacks: a popular trail mix and a much less popular granola bar. Snackyville requires grocery stores to buy 15 cases of the granola bar for every 140 cases of the trail mix ordered. Coolaire is the only firm producing refrigerators. It costs $1,000 to produce a refrigerator, and Coolaire sells each refrigerator for $1,200. After Chillbox, a new firm with the same costs as Coolaire, enters the market for refrigerators, Coolaire starts selling its refrigerators for a price of $550. Rhythm is a firm that produces mp3 players. Suppose Rhythm sells its mp3 players to retail stores for $159 each and requires those retailers to charge customers at least $179 for each mp3 player. True or False: By bundling the two snacks together, Snackyville can force grocery stores to pay more than they would be willing to pay when purchasing the snacks separately. O True O False

Q5) A firm is planning to manufacture a new product. The sales department estimates that the quantity that can be sold depends on the selling price. As the selling price is increased, the quantity that can be sold decreases. Numerically they estimate: P = $35.00 - 0.02Q where P =selling price per unit Q = quantity sold per year On the other hand, the management estimates that the average cost of manufacturing and selling the product will decrease as the quantity sold increases. They estimate C = $4.00Q + $8000 where C = cost to produce and sell Q per year The firm's management wishes to produce and sell the product at the rate that will maximize profit, that is, where income minus cost will be a maximum. What quantity should the decision makers plan to produce and sell each year?

Andria Mullins, financial manager of Webster Electronics, has been asked by the firm's CEO, Fred Weygandt, to evaluate the company's inventory control techniques and to lead a discussion of the subject with the senior executives. Andria plans to use as an example one of Webster's "big ticket" items, a customized computer microchip which the firm uses in its laptop computer. Each chip costs Webster P200, and in addition it must pay its supplier a P1,000 fee on each order. Further, the minimum order size is 250 units; Webster's annual usage forecast is 5,000 units; and the annual carrying cost of this item is estimated to be 20 percent of the average inventory unit cost. Andria plans to begin her session with the senior executives by reviewing some basic inventory concepts, after which she will apply the EOQ model to Webster's microchip inventory. Question: What is the formula for the total costs of carrying and ordering inventory? and then use the formula to derive the EOQ model.
