Soft selling occurs when a buyer is skeptical of the usefulness of a product and the seller offers to set a price that depends on realized value. For example, suppose a sales representative is trying to sell a company a new accounting system that will, with certainty, reduce costs by 10%. However, the customer has heard this claim before and believes there is only a 40% chance of actually realizing that cost reduction and a 60% chance of realizing no cost reduction. Assume the customer has an initial total cost of $500. According to the customer's beliefs, the expected value of the accounting system, or the expected reduction in cost, is ($ ) Suppose the sales representative initially offers the accounting system to the customer for a price of $35.00. The information asymmetry stems from the fact that the (BUYER OR SALES REP) has less information about the efficacy of the accounting system than does the (BUYER OR SALES REP . At this price, the customer (WILL OR WILL NOT)…

Honda Motor Company is considering offering a $2,100 rebate on its minivan, lowering the vehicle's price from $30,900 to $28,800. The marketing group estimates that this rebate will increase sales over the next year from 39,100 to 56,800 vehicles. Suppose Honda's profit margin with the rebate is $5,090 per vehicle. If the change in sales is the only consequence of this decision, what are its costs and benefits? Is it a good idea? Hint: View this question in terms of incremental profits. The cost of the rebate will be $ million. (Round to one decimal place.)
The Paymore Rental Car Agency rents cars in a small town. It wants to determine how many rental cars it should maintain. Based on market projections and historical data, the manager has determined probability distributions for the number of rentals per day and rental duration (in days only) as shown in the following tables: Number of customers per day Probability 0 .20 1 .20 2 .50 3 .10 Rental duration in days Probability 1 .10 2 .30 3 .40 4 .10 5 .10 Design a simulation experiment for the car agency and simulate using a fleet of four rental cars for 10 days. Compute the probability that the agency will not have a car available upon demand. Should the agency expand its fleet? Explain how a simulation experiment could be designed to determine the optimal fleet size for the Paymore Agency. Use the following random numbers in order (from left to right) for the simulation of number of customers per day: 0.62 0.48 0.96 0.86 0.86 0.29 0.79 0.22 0.08 0.62…

If it invests an additional $10 per unit in prevention costs, the defect rate will drop to 6%; spending $20 per unit on prevention drops the defect rate to 3%; spending $30 per unit drops the defect rate to 1.5%; and investing $40 per unit on prevention reduces the defect rate to 1%. 2. Inspection Inspection costs are $5 per unit. Inspection is successful at detecting 98% of defective units; the remaining 2% of defective products are sold and eventually returned for warranty repairs or replacement at no cost to the customer. 3. Internal failure costs are $400 per defective unit that is detected. 4. External failure costs are $1000 per unit returned. 5. Current production level is 1 million units. REQUIRED: A.…
