Musashi owns and operates a hot dog stand in downtown Chicago. In order to operate his hot dog stand, regardless of the number of hot dogs sold, Musashi must purchase a permit from the local government in Chicago. Musashi's initial profit hill is plotted in green (triangle symbols) on the following graph. Suppose the price Musashi must pay for a permit increases by $80 per day. On the following graph, use the purple diamond symbols to plot Musashi's new profit hill, for 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 hot dogs, after the increase in the price of a permit (with all other factors remaining constant).

He was quite comfortable making decisions about the kinds of equipment he would stock in the store’s inventory, the décor of the retail space and his marketing strategy.An avid hiker since he was in his early teenage years and a competitive athlete, Howard knew the type of equipment that would be best to his target audience, and he knew that he needed to round out his merchandise mix with hats, shoes, energy drinks, snacks and other accessories. He was however, not certain about how to source the financing for this business venture. In speaking to a colleague he admitted that he personally did not possess the required financing to start such a business. To that end, he was cognizant of the fact that a sound business plan was necessary before approaching any potential lending institution or investor.

5. To advertise or not to advertise Suppose that two firms, Hatte Latte and Bean Bruuer, are the only sellers of espresso in some hypothetical market. The following payoff matrix gives the profit (in millions of dollars) earned by each company depending on whether or not it chooses to advertise: Hatte Latte Advertise Doesn't Advertise Advertise 10, 10 Bean Bruuer 2,18 Doesn't Advertise 18, 2 11, 11 For example, the lower left cell of the matrix shows that if Bean Bruuer advertises and Hatte Latte does not advertise, Bean Bruuer will make a profit of $18 million, and Hatte Latte will make a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Hatte Latte and Bean Bruuer are both profit-maximizing firms. If Hatte Latte chooses to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ does not advertise. If Hatte Latte chooses not to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ Bruuer does not advertise. million if Bean Bruuer advertises and a profit of $ million if Bean Bruuer advertises and a…

Please no written by hand solutions Consider a game between two friends, Amy and Brenda. Amy wants Brenda to give her a ride to the mall. Brenda has no interest in going to the mall unless her favorite shoes are on sale at the large department store there. Amy likes these shoes as well, but she wants to go to the mall even if the shoes are not on sale. Only Amy subscribes to the newspaper, which carries a daily advertisement of the department store. The advertisement lists all items that are on sale, so Amy learns whether or not the shoes are on sale by showing the newspaper to Brenda. But this is costly for Amy, because she will have to take the newspaper away from her sister, who will yell at her later for doing so. In this game, nature first decides whether or not the shoes are on sale, and this information is made known to Amy (Amy observes whether nature chose S or N). Nature chooses S with probability p and N with probability 1-p. Then Amy decides whether or not to take the…
