Walmart and Target are the only stores in a remote town that currently stock and sell the PlayStation 5 video game console. Mana

gers at both stores are simultaneously deciding whether to charge a price of $1,000 or $1,500 for each console. If both stores charge $1,000, they earn a profit of $100,000 each. If both stores charge $1,500, they earn a profit of $200,000 each. If one store charges $1,000 and the other store charges $1,500, the store that charges $1,000 earns a profit of $250,000 and the firm that charges $1,500 earns a profit of $50,000. If Walmart and Target ________, they can both charge $1,500 and earn the highest combined profit available.
A. compete with each other only with regard to price and not quantityB. privately undercut each other after making an agreementC. collude with each otherD. engage in spirited price competitionE. compete with each other only with regard to quantity and not price

Answer:

Option D is correct

Explanation:

The products sold by both of them have no difference in quality so price difference affects the profit on the console for any of the organisation with higher price in other words having equal price for console would maximize profit for Wal-Mart and target since demand for product is high.

Ann [662]

Answer :

a) Cost of underestimating demand = $3

b) Average cost per program =$1.90

c) number of program ordered 51,503

d) Stock out risk = 0.3878

Explaination :

As per the data given in the question,

Total purchased program = (2 ÷ 3) × 75,000 = 50,000

Unsold program = 10% × 50,000 = 5,000

a) Cost of underestimating demand = cost of each program - cost to print each program

= $5 - $2

= $3

b)Average cost per program = cost to print each program - amount got for sending it for recycling

= $2 - $0.10

= $1.90

c) Service level = Cost of underestimating demand ÷ (Cost of underestimating demand + Average cost per program)

= $3 ÷ ($3 + $1.90)

= 0.6122

So, Z is 0.3005

Therefore number of program ordered = 50,000 + 0.3005 × 5,000

= 51,502.5

= 51,503

d) Stock out risk = 1 - Service level

= 1 - 0.6122

= 0.3878

We simply applied the above formulas

A streaming music site changed its format to focus on previously unreleased music from rising artists. the site manager now want
pishuonlain [190]

Answer : The p-value of 0.0743 is greater than alpha at 0.05; so we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no significant difference in the number of unique users before and after a change in policy.

In this question, the manager wants to know if the number of users has changed.

So, the null and alternate hypotheses are:

Null Hypothesis: {H_{0}}: \mu = 131,520

Alternate Hypothesis : {H_{1}}: \mu \not\equiv 131,520

Type of test : Two-tailed test

The level of significance is 95%

We can calculate alpha (α) as follows:

\alpha = 1- Confidence Level

\alpha = 1- 0.95
\alpha = 0.05

The p value = 0.0743.

We use the following rules to arrive at a conclusion when p-values and alpha is given:

If p-value < \alpha, reject the null hypothesis

If p-value \geq \alpha, we don't reject the null hypothesis.

Since the p-value is greater than alpha, we don't reject the null hypothesis.

Show that if the contribution to profit for trains is between $1.50 and $3, the current basis remains optimal. If the contributi
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

210

Explanation:

Let us consider that x is the number of soldiers produced each week and y is number of trains produced each week.

Also, weekly revenues and costs can be expressed in terms of the decision variables x and y.

Then,

Hence the profit which we want to maximize is given by,

Now the constraints are given as,

Finishing Constraint:

Each week, no more than 100 hours of finishing time may be used.

Carpentry Constraint:

Each week, no more than 80 hours of carpentry time may be used.

Demand Constraint:

Because of limited demand, at most 40 soldiers should be produced each week.

Combining the sign restrictions and with the objective function  and constraints,and yield the following optimization model:

Such that,

First convert the given inequalities into equalities:

From equation (1):

If x=0 in equation (1) then (0,100)

If y=0 in equation (1) then (50,0)

From equation (2):

If x=0 in equation (2) then (0,80)

If y=0 in equation (2) then (80,0)

From equation (3):

Equation (3) is the line passing through the point x=40.

Therefore, the given LPP has a feasible solution first image

The optimum solution for the given LPP is obtained as follows in the second image

The optimal solution to this problem is,

And the optimum values are  .

Let c be the contribution to profit by each train. We need to find the values of c for which the current, basis remain optimal. Currently c is 2, and each iso-profit line has the form

3x +  2y = constant

y = 3x/2 +constant/ 2

And so, each iso-profit line has a slope of  .

From the graph we can see that if a change in c causes the isoprofit lines to be flatter than the carpentry constraint, then the optimal solution will change from the current optimal solution to a new optimal solution, If the profit for each train is c, the slope of each isoprofit line will be.

-3/c

Because the slope of the carpentry constraint is –1, the isoprofit lines will be flatter than the carpentry constraint.

If,

-3/c<-1

c >3

and the current basis will no longer be optimal. The new optimal solution will be point A of the graph.

If the is oprofit lines are steeper than the finishing constraint, then the optimal solution will change from point B to point C. The slope of the finishing constraint is –2.

If,

-3/c < -2 or

C < 1.5

Then the current basis is no longer optimal and point C,(40,20), will be optimal. Hence when the contribution to the profit for trains is between $1.50 and $3, the current basis remains optimal.

Again, consider the contribution to the profit for trains is $2.50, then the decision variables remain the same since the contribution to the profit for trains is between $1.50 and $3. And the optimal solution is given by,

z = 3× (20) + 2.5 × (60)

= 60 + 150

= 210

what types of political, economic, and competitive challenges does MTV networks international face by operating worldwide?​
Marysya12 [62]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Remember, MTV is a cable TV company initially founded in the United States.

Political challenges:

There may be differences in administrative costs in each country of operations. For example, the manner and value of taxes paid in the USA may be different in another country like France.

Economic challenges:

The level of economic growth may affect the amount and number of people who spend on entertainment leading to a decline in revenue and an increased need for aggressive marketing campaigns.

Competitive challenges:

Each country may already have other cable TV companies that a percent of the market share and so this it becomes a challenge to compete with these domestic companies.

The Wester Corporation produces three products with the following costs and selling prices:
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Product A, then Product C and finally Product B

Explanation:

The unit profit  = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit - Fixed cost per unit

Unit Profit of product A = $21 - $11 - $5 = $5

Unit Profit of product B = $12 - $7 - $3 = $2

Unit Profit of product C = $32 - $18 - $9 = $5

The profit of each product in 1 machine hour = 1 hour/ Machine hours per unit * Unit Profit

Profit of Product A in 1 hour using machine = 1/0.2 * $5 = $25

Profit of Product B in 1 hour using machine = 1/0.5*$2 = $4

Profit of Product C in 1 hour using machine = 1/0.2* $5 = $25

Product A & Product C have same profit in 1 hour machine, then we have to consider Direct labor hours per unit which product A is 0.4 while product C is 0.7. It means Product C is more costly in direct labour than Product A.

In short, then the ranking of the products from the most profitable to the least profitable use of the constrained resource is Product A, then Product C and finally Product B
