2. You have been hired by the No Flight Golf Company and your first task is to decide whether to market a new golf ball utilizing breakthrough technology and if so, determine the price. The payoff of your decision will be affected by whether your competitor will market similar balls and the price of their golf balls after you go to market. The cost to market the golf balls is PhP80,000. The table below describes the payoffs of each pricing combination, assuming No Flight will have competition. Our Price High Medium Low Competitor's Price High PhP400,000 PhP475,000 PhP350,000 Medium PhP250,000 PhP325,000 PhP250,000 Low PhP25,000 PhP175,000 PhP125,000 a) What should be the pessimism value the company should consider if it is indifferent between pricing the product high and low? b) What pricing strategy should the company follow if it uses the minimax regret criterion? c) What pricing strategy should the company follow if it uses the equally likely criterion? d) What pricing strategy should the company follow if it uses the maximin criterion? e) What pricing strategy should the company follow if it uses the maximax criterion?

Price scanners at the checkout register sometimes make mistakes, charging either more or less than the labeled price. Suppose that a scanner is wrong 4% of the time, with half of the errors in favor of the store and half in favor of the customer. Assume that an error in favor of the store means that the scanned price is 5% above the listed price and an error in favor of the customer means that the scanned price is 5% below the listed price. How would these errors affect the distribution of the prices of sold items? The pricing errors will result in V mean price and V in variation.

In preparing for the upcoming holiday season, Fresh Toy Company (FTC) designed a newdoll called The Dougie that teaches children how to dance. The fixed cost to produce thedoll is $100,000. The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is$34 per doll. During the holiday selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $42 each. IfFTC overproduces the dolls, the excess dolls will be sold in january through a distributorwho has agreed to pay FTC $10 per doll. Demand for new toys during the holiday sellingseason is extremely uncertain. Forecasts are for expected sales of 60,000 dolls with astandard deviation of 15,000. The normal probability distribution is assumed to be a gooddescription of the demand. FTC has tentatively decided to produce 60,000 units (the sameas average demand), but it wants to conduct an analysis regarding this production quantitybefore finalizing the decision.a.
