The Zagat Restaurant Survey provides food, decor, and service ratings for some of the top restaurants across the United States. For 15 restaurants located inBoston, the average price of a dinner, including one drink and tip, was $48.60. You are leaving on a business trip to Boston and will eat dinner at three of theserestaurants. Your company will reimburse you for a maximum of $50 per dinner. Business associates familiar with these restaurants have told you that the meacost at one-third of these restaurants will exceed $50. Suppose that you randomly select three of these restaurants for dinner.a. What is the probability that none of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company (to 4 decimals)?b. What is the probability that one of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company (to 4 decimals)?c. What is the probability that two of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company (to 4 decimals)?d. What is the probability that all three of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company (to 4 decimals)?

HomeGrown is a small restaurant that specializes in serving local fruits, vegetables, and meats. The company has chosen to enter into a long-term relationship with Family Farms, a local farming operation. The two parties have decided to enter into a long-term contract, where Family Farms will supply produce to HomeGrown at specified prices and volume each year. Before signing a contract, HomeGrown is trying to decide how long the contract should be. It estimates that each year the contract covers saves the restaurant $1,000 in bargaining and opportunism costs. However, each year the contract covers also requires more legal fees. HomeGrown estimates that the number of hours required from lawyers, L, has a quadratic relationship with the number of years on the contract, so that L = Y2, where Y is the number of years for the contract. If HomeGrown’s lawyers charge $100 per hour, how long should the contract be?
43% of small businesses are either not tracking inventory or using manual processes, such as spreadsheets or pen-and-paper. This creates a higher probability of creating double entries, difficulties in placing and receiving orders, and time-consuming processes of locating stock, among other errors. Suppose you are appointed as a purchasing officer of a small business. You are asked to manage the purchases of NIDO (powder milk). The annual demand = 1500 units of NIDO, Delivered purchase cost = R25/units, Annual carrying cost percentage= 15percent, Order cost = R35/order. The lead time is 10 working days. Assuming 20 working days per month. a) Determine the Economic Order Quantityb) Determine the reorder pointc) Determine the average inventoryd) Suppose orders are placed only at review time. Find the optimal period and the optimal orderquantity.
A bookstore purchased a best selling book at P200 per copy. At what price should this book be sold so that, giving a 20% discount, the profit is 30%.
You are the owner of QuantCrunch Corporation, a company that recently spent $15,000 to develop a statistical software package. To date, you only have one client. A recent internal study revealed that this client’s demand for your software is Qd = 300 – 0.2P and that it would cost you $1,000 per unit to install and maintain software at this client’s site. Your assignment is to construct a report that compares (1) the profit that results from charging this client a single (profit-maximizing) per-unit price with (2) the profit that results from charging $1,450 for the first 10 units and $1,225 for each additional unit of software purchased. Answer the following questions in your report: What type of pricing strategy is (1)? What type of pricing strategy is (2)? Compare at least three strategies discussed in this module (including 1 and 2) in making your recommendation? Show your calculations.
Make yourself CEO of this hypothetical company. Big Time Entertainment - Big Time Entertainment is a nationwide firm providing movies, arcades and other entertainment venues such as bowling and roller skating. Our operations have been heavily impacted during the Covid-19 pandemic. On reopening we have been faced with a host of regulations that have greatly increased our cost of operations. We also face uncertainty as to the potential for additional shutdowns. Customers are fearful plus the guidance on operating our facilities means we are operating far below our optimal number of patron to cover the higher cost for cleaning and other measure to protect the public and our employees. Price elasticity of demand is 1.6 and we are also faced with more competitors, online entertainment and gaming, that are not experiencing these cost pressures. Is the demand curve for your product relatively elastic, inelastic or unitary elastic? Demonstrate for your company's product, by how much the…
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…

CINESA, a government-owned power company that normally uses natural gas for electricity generation, is purchasing fuels other than natural gas and power from a commercially built wind farm, often at extra costs, which are transferred to the customer. Total monthly fuel and wind-power costs are now averaging $6,800,000. An engineer with the utility has calculated the average revenue for the past 24 months using three fuel-mix and wind-power situations: all gas, < 30% other or wind, and ≥ 30% other or wind. The table below shows the number of months for each situation and the associated revenue. If the same situation persists for the next 2 years, determine whether the utility’s revenue will be greater or less than the costs and by how much. Fuel/Wind Situation Months in Past 24 Average Revenue, $/Month All gas 12 $5,270,000 < 30% other/wind 9 $7,850,000 ≥ 30% other/wind 3 $12,130,000
The owners of a small manufacturing concern have hired a vice president to run the company with the expectation that he will buy the company after five years. For the first $150,000 of profit, the vice president's compensation is a flat annual salary of $50,000 plus 90% of company profits. Beyond the first $150,000 in profits, the vice president's compensation is the salary he receives at $150,000 profit plus 10% of company profits in excess of $150,000. How do you plot the profit of buying the company as a function of annual profit when you assume the company will be worth 10 million in five years?
