Zan Azlett and Angela Zesiger have joined forcesto start A&Z Lettuce Products, a processor of packaged shreddedlettuce for institutional use. Zan has years of food processingexperience,and Angela has extensive commercial food preparationexperience. The process will consist of opening crates of lettuceand then sorting, washing, slicing, preserving, and finallypackagingthe prepared lettuce. Together, with help from vendors,theythink they can adequately estimate demand, fixed costs, revenues,and variable cost per 5-pound bag of lettuce. They think alargelymanual process will have monthly fixed costs of $37,500andvariable costs of $1.75 per bag. A more mechanized process will have fixed costs of $75,000 per month with variable costs of $1.25 per 5-pound bag. They expect to sell the shredded lettuce for $2.50 per 5-pound bag.a) What is the break-even quantity for the manual process? b) What is the revenue at the break-even quantity for the manualprocess? c) What is the break-even…
In the Current Events article, it mentioned how DoorDash is trying to increase its amount of subscription users (DashPass). The price for DashPass is $10 per month. Assume the demand for regular DoorDash deliveries (non-subscription) is: P = 20 - 0.04Q where P is the delivery fee on the order. Assume the goal of the company is to maximize combined revenue from both regular deliveries (delivery fees) and the subscription fees (DashPass). A different manager suggest pricing the deliveries at $14 per delivery. Which of the following actions would you select as a manager? Group of answer choices Advise that it should be a $10 fee per delivery Advise that the$14 delivery fee is too low Advise that it should be a $20 fee per delivery Agree that $14 per delivery is optimal in this situation
AFTER READING THE PARAGRAPH ANSWER THE QUESTION : On Wednesday April 8, Starbucks announced that itexpects its fiscal second-quarter earnings to be cutnearly in half as the coronavirus pandemic causessales to plunge in its two largest markets. What wouldbe the right pricing strategy to maximize revenues forStarbucks in the current circumstances? In January 2020, Starbucks raised their beverage prices by an average of1% across the U.S, a move that represented the company’s firstsignificant price increase in 18 months. I failed to notice because the pricechange didn’t affect grande or venti (medium and large) brewed coffeesand I don’t mess with smaller sizes, but anyone who purchases tall size(small) brews saw as much as a 10 cent increase. The company’s thirdquarter revenue rose 25% to $417.8 million from $333.1 million a yearearlier, and green coffee prices have plummeted, so what gives?Starbucks claims the price increase is due to rising labor and non-coffeecommodity costs, but with…
Nile.com, the online bookseller, wants to increase its total revenue. One strategy is to offer a 10% discount on every book it sells. Nile.com knows that its customers can be divided into two distinct groups according to their likely responses to the discount. The accompanying table shows how the two groups respond to the discount. Group A Group B(sales per week) (sales per week) Volume of sales beforethe 10% discount 1.55 million 1.50 million Volume of sales afterthe 10% discount 1.65 million 1.70 million A. Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticities of demand for group A and group B. B. Explain how the discount will affect total revenue from each group.C. Suppose Nile.com knows which group each customer belongs to when he or she logs on and can choose whether or not to offer the 10% discount. If Nile.com wants to increase its total revenue, should discounts be offered to group A or to group B, to neither group, or to both groups?

Assume that you are in an interview session and the panel asks you to give a pricing decision that will maximize company’s interest (revenue maximization). Price Qd Qs 10 80 20 11 75 30 12 70 40 13 65 50 14 60 60 15 55 70 16 50 80 This is demand and supply schedule, estimate the equations, calculate the elasticity, and justify your positions based on your calculations. Based on your demand equation, what price will maximize the revenue and what would be the elasticity at the revenue maximization point.
Exercise 6.3.Little Kona is a small coffee company considering entering a market dominated by Big Brewer. The benefits of each of them depend on whether or not the first enters and whether the second sets a high or low price: After analazing the graph, answer the following question: Great Brew threatens Little Kona by telling her, "If you go in, we're going to set a low price, so the best thing you can do is not get in." Do you think Little Kona should believe the threat? Why yes or why not?
Point on Demand Curve: A B C D E F G H I Price (P): $40 $35 $30 $25 $20 $15 $10 $5 $0 Quantity Demanded (QD): 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 (a) Based on this demand schedule, set up a graph (using excel) showing this demand curve and another graph showing the corresponding total revenue curve (i.e., you need two separate graphs with quantity on the horizontal axis).
Case study 1Oil pump price war Based on an article from The Telegraph, 10 July 2009 “Asda, the supermarket chain, sparked a potential petrol price war yesterday as it cut its fuel prices to 99.9p per litre, declaring there was “little justification” to charge more than £1 at the pumps.The reduction was made on petrol and diesel, representing an average cut of 2p and 1p respectively, at all the company’s 176 forecourts.The move was quickly followed by a pledge from Morrisons that it too would sell petrol for under £1 a litre, signalling the start of a price war. BP said it would cut prices by around 2p at many of its sites, and would continue to respond to local competition.A spokesman for the AA said: “Asda’s price drop marks the start of a new price war. Others will have no choice but to follow.”Asda’s Commercial director David Miles said: “There is no justification for any major retailer selling fuel above £1 per litre – that is why we are delighted to be able to reduce both petrol…
PART I: STREAMING SERVICES (NETFLIX, AMAZON, HULU etc) – SUBSTITUTES OR COMPLEMENTS?From the question above provide 2 Reasons why you are arguing whether the Streaming Services (Netflix, Amazon, Hulu etc) are substitutes or complements – briefly rationalize why using concepts related to cross elasticity.
The diagram below shows a demand line (green) and revenue curve (red) for a certain good. The horizontal axis is price in £. For the demand line, the vertical axis gives the number of units sold. For the revenue curve, the units of the vertical axis are £. Explain briefly how you can tell just by looking at the graphs that I must have gone wrong plotting the revenue curve, find the equation of the green line, the demand ? in terms of price, the correct equation of the revenue curve and the maximum revenue.
The following graph shows the daily demand curve for bippitybops in Chicago. Use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to compute total revenue at various prices along the demand curve. Note: You will not be graded on any changes made to this graph. Total Revenue 0 8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64 72 80 200 180 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 PRICE (Dollars per bippitybop) QUANTITY (Bippitybops per day) Demand A B Area: 1280 Calculate the daily total revenue when the market price is $180, $160, $140, $120, $100, $80, $60, and $40 per bippitybop. Then, use the green point (triangle symbol) to plot the daily total revenue against quantity corresponding to these market prices on the following graph.
