Production Possibilities Curve The owner of a company that produces fishing equipment would like for you to do some economic analysis to help determine if he should spend his time producing fishing rods or fishing lures. You need to provide him with an accurate PPC that labels all scenarios. He would like to know why he hasn't reached his goal of selling 300 rods and 2,500 lures. He would also like to know your opinion of his production last year when he sold 110 rods and 2,414 lures. This year he has tried a new strategy of spending all of his time making rods (Scenario A) and would like to know the opportunity cost of changing his business model to Scenario B. Do you think this would be a good change for the owner of the business? Why or why not?. Lastly, his goal was to sell 300 rods and 2,500 lures. What are two things he could do that might allow him to reach that goal (be specific to the scenario)? Scenario A B C D E F Fishing Rods 300 240 180 120 60 0 Fishing Lures 0 1800 3300 4500 5400 6000

Arthur is a professional video-game player. He plays the video-game "Fortnite" and uploads his video to YouTube. The number of people who will watch his video depends on Arthur's effort producing the video and increasing its quality. The number Q of viewers as a function of Arthur's effort "e" is given by the function Q= Be. Arthur's offort cost is 202. His utility equals his income minus ys effort cost. To give incentives to Arthur to create better videos and attract more viewers, YouTube decides to pay Arthur a bonus b for each person watching his video. YouTube also has an operational cost 30 Operational cost - 32 which is the cost of maintaining its internet servers and administrative staff. YouTube's profit equals the ad revenue minus the payment to Arthur and the operational cost. Find…

Dataware is trying to determine whether to give a $10 rebate, cut the price $6, or have no price change on a software product. Currently, 40,000 units of the product are sold each week for $45 apiece. The variable cost ofthe product is $5. The most likely case appears to bethat a $10 rebate will increase sales 30%, and half of all people will claim the rebate. For the price cut, the most likely case is that sales will increase 20%.a. Given all other assumptions, what increase in sales from the rebate would make the rebate and price cut equally desirable?b. Dataware does not really know the increase in sales that will result from a rebate or price cut. However, the company is sure that the rebate will increase sales by between 15% and 40% and that the pricecut will increase sales by between 10% and 30%.Perform a sensitivity analysis that could be used to help determine Dataware’s best decision.

A polling company reported that 33% of 2286 surveyed adults said that they play football. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. C a. What is the exact value that is 33% of 2286? The exact value is (Type an integer or a decimal.) b. Could the result from part (a) be the actual number of adults who said that they play football? Why or why not? O A. No, the result from part (a) could not be the actual number of adults who said that they play football because that is a very rare activity. O B. Yes, the result from part (a) could be the actual number of adults who said that they play football because the results are statistically significant. O C. Yes, the result from part (a) could be the actual number of adults who said that they play football because the polling numbers are accurate. O D. No, the result from part (a) could not be the actual number of adults who said that they play football because a count of people must result in a whole number. c. What could be the actual number of…
The research department at a manufacturing company has developed a new process that it believes will result in an improved product Management must decide whether to go ahead and market the new product. The new product may or may not be better than the old one. If the new product is better and the company decides to market it, sales should increase by $50,000. If it is not better and they replace the old product with the new product on the market, they will lose $24,000 to competitors. If they decide not to market the new product, they will lose a total of $30,000 if it is better and just research costs of $10,000 if it is not. Answer parts a through c below. (a) Prepare a payoff matrix. (Type an integer or decimal for each matrix element. Do not include the $ symbol in your answer.) (b) If management believes there is a probability of 0.4 that the new product is better, find the expected profits under each strategy and determine the best action. Select the correct answer below and fill…

A merchant who sells newspapers and magazines at the corner kiosk heard you manage the Times’ inventory and asks for your advice. She has a small, variable number of customers who daily purchase the Chicago Sun Times. In order to get the newspapers in time, she has to place an order for the next day’s newspapers before noon. She pays $0.50 for each newspaper and sells them for $1.50 each. She has kept detailed records of her past sales of the Chicago Sun Times and estimates that 10% of the time she sells 10 newspapers, 40% of the time she sells 11, 30% of the time she sells 12, and 20% of the time she sells 13. (a) What is the merchant’s marginal profit and marginal loss? (b) Determine how many Chicago Sun Times newspapers she should buy every day to maximize expected profits. (c) Calculate the merchant’s expected profits for the optimal order quantity. (d) The merchant has always purchased 13 newspapers, thinking that the best way to maximize profits was to always meet the demand.…

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…
