Chapter 4, Problem 44RE

Publisher Marjory Duffin reveals that JungleBooks.com may be launching a promotional scheme in which it will offer either two books for the price of one, or three books for the price of two. (Marjory can’t quite seem to remember which and is not certain whether they will go with the scheme at all.) John O’Hagan’s marketing advisers Flood and O’Lara seem to have different ideas as to how to respond. Flood suggests that the company counter by offering three books for the price of one, while O’Lara suggests that it offer instead a free copy of the Finite Mathematics Student Solutions Manual with every purchase. After a careful analysis, O’Hagan comes up with the following payoff matrix, where the payoffs represent the number of customers, in thousands, he expects to gain from JungleBooks.com:

Use the above information in Exercises 43–48.

Competition JungleBooks.com CEO François Dubois has been told by someone with personal ties to OHaganBooks.com staff that OHaganBooks.com is in fact 80% certain to opt for the “3 for the price of 1” option and will certainly go with one of the two possible promos. What should JungleBooks.com do in view of this information, and what will the expected effect be on its customer base?

Students have asked these similar questions
You work for a manufacturing company that decides to introduce a new product. If your company offers retailers a 35% discount off list price, what should the list price be to ensure that your company nets $1,600?
The college graduates of 2000 could hardly have asked for better luck. The unemployment rate dropped to 4.1 % in May 2000- roughly, the lowest level in a generation- and employers were literally scrambling for new hires. Starting salaries rose, many graduating seniors had numerous job offers, and some firms even offered $10,000- $20,000 bonuses to students who signed the dotted line. Three years later, the job market for the Class of 2003 was rather different. U.S. economic growth had slowed to a crawl, and then to a halt. Companies that had stocked up on recent college grads in the tighter labour markets of 1998-2000 found themselves with more than they knew what to do with in 2002 and 2003. They were not eager to hire more. Bonuses and other “perks” disappeared; job offers became scarcer. With the unemployment rate around 6% in May and June of 2003, the job market was far from the worst ever. But it was nothing like the glory days of 2000.   YOU ARE REQUIRED TO:     (iv) Briefly…
You are offered a job as a set designer on two different movies. If company A offers to pay you $450 per week and company B offers $10 per hour, and both ask you to work 40 hours per week, which company is offering the better rate of pay?
