Moe is deciding whether or not to introduce a new drink, the “Flaming Moe". The Flaming Moe is made up of several ingredients which cost $1.25 per drink. Moe expects to sell the drink for $4. He estimates sales for the Flaming Moe to be: Sunday to Thursday 60 per night Weekends (Fri. & Sat.) 150 per night. Moe suspects that one third of the people who buy a Flaming Moe would have bought a beer (which cost Moe $1.25 and sell for $2.50). Another third of the purchasers would have bought a mixed drink (which cost Moe $1.00 and sell for $4.00). What will happen to Moe's contribution if he introduces the drink? Should he introduce it?

A Starbucks and Dunkin' compete for coffee customers on Cooper Street near UTA. Each can sell a large coffee for either $1 or $2 with 60% of the price being profit. It is expected that 2000 large coffees will be bought by UTA students per month at the two coffee shops and 1000 per month by non-students. Students choose the shop with the most inexpensive coffee if possible. If the prices are the same, students are equally likely to choose either coffee shop. Non-students are always equally likely to choose either coffee shop. The goal of the coffee shops is to maximize profit for large coffees (and thereby all coffee, they hope). What are the PROFITS per month for both Starbucks and Dunkin' when Starbucks charges $1 and Dunkin' charges $2? It might be useful to consider these profits as payoffs in a two-person game for the strategies ($1,$2). $1500 for Starbucks, $600 for Dunkin' O $2000 for Starbucks, $1000 for Dunkin' O $2500 for Starbucks, $1000 for Dunkin' $1200 for Starbuck, $600…

1. You can purchase the right to sell beverages at sporting events for 3 years at a local minor league baseball stadium. The cost of the rights to sell the beverages costs $200,000.
