You manage a company that competes in an industry that is comprised of fiveequal-sized firms that produce similar products. A recent industry report indicates that the market is fairly saturated, in that a 10 percent industrywide priceincrease would lead to a 22 percent decline in units sold by all firms in theindustry. Currently, Congress is considering legislation that would impose atariff on a key input used by the industry. Your best estimate is that, if the legislation passes, your marginal cost will increase by one dollar. Based on thisinformation, what price increase would you recommend if the tariff legislationis passed by Congress? Explain.

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.
A company has 700 employees who work 140 hours a month each. Each worker earns $37 per hour. There is a profitable project the company would like to start, but it would require an additional 42,000 working hours within three months to be completed, and all the employees are fully loaded with other projects. The company does not want to hire new staff; they would like the project to be completed by the current workforce instead. Given that the wage elasticity of labor supply is 0.65, calculate the hourly wage the company should offer its employees to encourage them to work on the new project.
