Part 5 6 7 8 9 solution needed Suppose that market demand is linear, q = 70 - p. Marginal costs are constant and equal to 10. The upstream firm, which is a manufacturer, does not sell directly but through a single downstream firm, which is a retailer. The manufacturer set the wholesale price w at stage 1. At stage 2, the retailer who is assumed not to incur any costs except wholesale price (w), observes the wholesale price and sets the retail price p. 1.Find the optimal wholesale price (w*): 2.Find the optimal retail price (p∗): 3.Find the quantity demanded (q∗) that corresponds to p∗: 4.Find the manufacturer’s profit (π*M) that corresponds to p∗: 5.Find the retailer’s profit (π∗R) that corresponds to p∗: 6.Find the overall channel profit (Π∗ = π*M+ π*R): Next, consider a case that the integrated firm produce the product and sell directly to consumers.

Review the following hypothetical scenario and answer the following question: Our only competitor in the Central State region currently provides bundled services at $79.95. We are currently charging a 10 percent premium over its price, but there are rumors that it is contemplating a 10 percent price increase to bring its price in line with ours. We don’t know its cost structure, so we don’t know whether its price increase is driven by rising costs or a strategic move to gain margin. Historically, when we both charge the same price, our market share is about 65 percent. When we charge a 10 percent premium over its price, our market share declines to about 60 percent. It appears that in those instances when it charges a 10 percent higher price than us, our market share is about 70 percent. Please provide a recommendation regarding whether we should maintain our current price or reduce our price to $79.95. Please factor into your recommendation that we pay programming fees that amount to…
Assume Allergan, Inc. is facing a capacity constraint in manufacturing Botox®. Analytically, this implies its marginal cost curve is extremely steep. As Botox® is oftentimes used for cosmetic reasons, it is reasonable to assume consumers have quite elastic demand curves. Hypothetically, assume a forthcoming study will highlight the safety of Botox® for cosmetic procedures. Given this potential study, where should Allergan, Inc. focus its strategic resources? a. Operations, specifically finding ways to lower costs in an effort to justify a price increase. b. Staffing, specifically preparing to significantly increase its staff to prepare for a large increase in the number of units of Botox® sold. c. Marketing/Pricing, specifically preparing to significantly raise the price for Botox®.
In the 1970s, Nestle the Swiss based MNC manufacturer and distributor of food and beverage products, was accused of ‘hooking’ mothers of Africa onto the use of infant formula powdered milk for their babies rather than mothers’ breast milk. Given the powder had to be mixed with water and African water was impure many babies died. The structure of the Nestle organisation in Africa contained separate product, marketing and sales functions. It was a standalone business entity. So, the sales and product executives in Switzerland were not aware that the infant powdered milk was being ‘mis-sold’ and ‘mis-represented’ leading to dead African babies. Many commentators believed that it was the structure of the African business that was to blame as it had no oversight from Switzerland. It is fair to say that Nestle made significant and profound changes to its governance structure after this event. 1. Explain what you believe could have been lacking in the Nestle Africa business. Did they…
Which of the following statements regarding business ethics is NOT correct? According to Bagley in The Ethical Leader's Decision Tree, directors' obligation is to manage the corporation "for the best interests of the corporation", which might not be “maximizing shareholder value" all the time. According to Bagley in The Ethical Leader's Decision Tree, when there is no established ethics policy, directors can turn to their company values statement for guidance about what constitutes ethical business behavior. According to Epley and Kumar in How to Design an Ethical Organization, a better way to manage ethics is to design workplace context that encourage good behavior. Keeping prosocial values top of mind for employees as they make decisions will reduce the likelihood of transgressions. According to Epley and Kumar in How to Design an Ethical Organization, the "tone at the top" is a much more significant driver of employees' behavior than "tone in the middle".
