A computer reseller needs to decide how many laptops to order next month. The lowest end laptop costs $220 and the retailer can sell these for $300. However, the laptop manufacturer already announced that they are coming out with a new model in a couple of months. Any laptops that will not be sold by the end of next month will have to be heavily discounted at half-price. The reseller also needs to consider that every time he fails to fulfill a laptop order, he stands to lose $25 for every unit. Based on the past months’ sales, the reseller estimates the demand probabilities for sales (S) as follows: P(0 units) = 0.3; P(1 units) = 0.4; P(2 units) = 0.2; P(3 units) =0.1. The reseller thinks it’s a good idea to conduct a survey on whether or not his customers are going to buy laptops and how many. The survey results will either be Yes (Y), No (N) or Don’t Know (DK). The probability estimates of the results based on the demand for number of units are: P(Y|S = 0 units) = 0.1 P(Y|S = 1…

Dana was dating Wade, a wealthy real estate entrepreneur. Wade was much older than Dana and knew he needed to offer something “special” to make her stay. Wade told Dana that if she continued dating him, he would pay her $10,000 a month. Wade paid Dana for two years when suddenly, for no apparent reason, he stopped the monthly payments. Dana stayed with Wade for another six months, but decided enough was enough and left. She wanted the $60,000 she was owed for the six months; Wade refused to pay her. Is Dana entitled to the $60,000?

You want to travel to Las Vegas to celebrate spring break and your "A" in your microeconomics class! You are trying to figure out if you should drive or fly. A round trip airline ticket from Riverside to Las Vegas costs $350 and flying there and back takes about 5 hours. Driving roundtrip to Las Vegas costs about $50 in gas and takes about 10 hours. Other things constant, what is the minimum amount of money that you would have to expect to make by gambling in Las Vegas to induce you as a rational individual to fly rather than drive? O $10 an hour $60 an hour O $70 an hour O $300 an hour
Many retirement funds charge an administrative fee equal to 0.25% on managed assets. Suppose that Alex and Spenser each invest $50,000 in the same year. Alex invests in a no-load fund (that doesn’t charge the 0.25% fee) and earns 5% a year. Spenser uses another retirement fund that charges the 0.25% fee and so only earns 4.75%. After 30 years, how much more will Alex have than Spenser?
The small family company that you manage has invested $35,000 in developing a new product, but the development is not quite finished. At a recent meeting, your family company management team predicts that the introduction of competing products has reduced the expected sales of your new product to $30,000. If your company receives zero profit for an unfinished product, and if it would cost $10,000 to finish development and make the product, you go ahead and do so. The most your family company should spend to complete development is O should; $30,000 O should; $20,000 O should; $10,000 O should not; $0
