This year is expected to be a great one for selling walking shoes in Georgia. At very low prices, only the most efficient shoemakers are able to sell. There are two shoe producers that operate with the most cost-effective equipment and skilled personnel, each of which can put 1000 pairs of shoes in the market at $10.00. At a higher price, eight more shoemakers will enter the market. Each producer makes 1200 pairs of shoes at $25.00 per pair. If the price goes to $40.00 per pair, the existing firms increase production to 1400 pairs of shoes each, plus four small shops open, each of which produces 500 pairs of shoes. Using the information above, graph the supply curve for walking shoes by dragging the provided red points to the correct coordinates of price and quantity.

Rail Tours, Inc., sells packaged tours on rail lines, including gourmet meals and a reserved bed. The most popular tours are in the autumn, when foliage colors are at their peak. The overnight package for Saturday and Sunday morning are especially heavily booked. A market survey firm has just completed a study in which they conclude that if the package cost is $200 per couple, then Rail Tours can expect to sell 400 spaces on a typical Saturday. If the price is raised to $225, then unit sales will drop to 390. If the price is raised further to $250, unit sales drop to 380. a) From the data given, write down the demand equation and determine its intercepts. Are there any precautions needed when operating at the extreme ends of the demand curve?b) The survey firm also reports that if per capita income changes, Rail Tours can expect a large change in bookings. In particular, if per capita income falls by 1%, then bookings will tend to fall by about 2%. Are tour packages a normal good?…

India’s Tata Motors was moving forward with a strategy focused on small inexpensive cars, even though this was a highly competitive market segment, dominated by Japanese auto makers. The company’s aim was to design a small car that would be significantly cheaper to make and buy than any other model, and thus to satisfy India’s mass market demand for low – cost transportation. The result was the Nano, with a sales price of 100, 000 rupees (US$2,500), which was half the price of its closest competitor in India. Tata Motors achieved this by designing everything from scratch, deleting features that were taken for granted by other auto makers (for example air conditioning, power brakes, radios), using lightweight steel and an aluminium engine, and building in fuel efficiency. Being the part of such a large TATA group is itself a competitive advantage. This affiliation provides the company with the needed knowledge and technology resources for taking their business to various parts of the…
A craft chocolate producer considers hiring one extra worker in production. Currently, the shop is selling 200 chocolate bars per day at a price of $6. With one extra worker, the manager estimates that they would be able to increase the output to 250 chocolate bars per day and that they would need to lower the price to $5.50 in order to sell them.

Group of answer choices Reduce the number of workers working in his chocolate place Increase its selling price Turn down the new worker and maintain the same number of employees Increase the salary of all employees Hire the extra worker
Your pharmaceutical firm is seeking to open up new international markets by partnering with various local distributors. The different distributors within a country are stronger with different market segments (hospitals, retail pharmacies, etc.) but also have substantial overlap. a. In Egypt, you calculate that the annual value created by one distributor is $60 million per year, but would be $80 million if two distributors carried your product line. How much of the value can you expect to capture? b. Argentina also has two distributors with values similar to those in Egypt, but both are run by the government. How does this affect the amount you could capture? c. In Argentina, if you do not reach an agreement with the government distributors, you can set up a less efficient Internet-based distribution system that would generate $20 million in value to you. How does this affect the amount you could capture?

The poinsettia is a wildflower native to Mexico. It was almost unknown in the U.S. until the Ecke family began selling them in the early 1900s from their flower stand in California. A member of the Ecke family discovered a grafting process that resulted in a much thicker and more colorful poinsettia plant, which became hugely popular at Christmas. The Ecke family did not attempt to patent the grafting process, but instead managed to keep the process a secret for many decades, and so maintained a monopoly on the commercial production of poinsettias for all those years. Eventually, a university professor figured out the grafting technique, and published it in an academic journal. What do you think happened to the price of poinsettias after publication of that article? Why?
