You are considering adding a new food product to your store for resale. You are certain that, in a month, minimum demand for the

product will be 5 units, while maximum demand will be 8 units. (Unfortunately, the new product has a one-month shelf life and is considered to be waste at the end of the month.) You will pay $70/unit for this new product while you plan to sell the product at $100 ($30/unit profit). The estimated demand for this new product in any given month is 5 units (p=0.2), 6 units (p=0.2), 7 units (p=0.4), and 8 units (p=0.2).

Answer:

Using EMV analysis, the number of units of the new product should be purchased for resale = Purchase 7.

The maximum EMV of profit you can make is 270.

Explanation:

We can use the following method to solve the given problem

Solution:

Using EMV analysis,

EMV (Purchase 6 for resale)= 6(40)(0.1) + 6(40)(0.4) + 6(40)(0.5)=240

EMV (Purchase 7 for resale) = [6(40)-60](0.1) +7(40)(0.4) + 7 (40)(0.5) = 270

EMV (Purchase 8 for resale) = [6(40)-2(60)] (0.1) + [7 (40) - 60] (0.4) + 8(40)(0.5)= 260

Largest EMV= 270; Choose to purchase 7 units for resale.

Consider airfares on flights between New York and Minneapolis. When the airfare is $250, the quantity demanded of tickets is 2,0
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

c the price elasticity of demand is about 1.43 and an increase in the airfare will cause airlines' total revenue to decrease.

Explanation:

q1 2,000 p1 250

revenue1 = quantity x price = 2,000x250 = 500,000

q2 1,700 p2 280

revenue2 = 1,700 x 280 = 476,000

<u>Midpoint formula:</u>

E_p\frac{q_1-q_2}{\frac{q_1+q_2}{2}} \div\frac{p_1-p_2}{\frac{p_1+p_2}{2}}

\frac{2,000-1,700}{\frac{2,000+1,700}{2}} \div\frac{250 - 280}{\frac{250 + 280}{2}}

\frac{300}{1850} \div\frac{-30}{265}

Ep = -1.432432432

As the price elasticity is above -1 the decrease in quantity is greater than the decrease in price thus, the revenue of the firm decreases if increase the price.

current liabilities = accruals + account payable + notes payable=50+30+30=110

operating capital = 150 - 110 = 40

Suppose you win the lottery and have two options: A. Take $1 million now. B. Take $1.2 million to be paid out as 300,000 now and
laila [671]

Answer:

A. Take $1 million now.

Explanation:

A. If we take $1 million now the present value of the money is $1 million.

B. If we choose to take $1.2 million paid out over 3 years then present value will at 10% will be;

$300,000 + $300,000 / 1.2 + $300,000/ 1.44 + $300,000 / 1.728

$300,000 + $250,000 + $208,000+ $173,611 = $931,944

The present value of option B is less than present value of option A. We should select option A and take $1 million now.
