5. Individual Problems 19-5 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 50% chance of actually realizing that cost reduction and a 50% chance of realizing no cost reduction. Assume the customer has an initial total cost of $800. 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 $60.00. The information asymmetry stems from the fact that the system than does the value of the accounting system is At this price, the customer than the price. Instead of naming a price, suppose the sales representative…

2. Superior Metals Company has seen its sales volume decline over the last few years as the result of fising foreign imports. In order to increase sales and hopefully, profits), the firm is considering a price reduction on uranium-a metal that it produces and sells. The firm currently sells 60.000 pounds of uranium a year at an average price of $10 per pound. Fixed costs of producing uranium are $250,000. Current variable costs per pound are $5. The firm has determined that the variable cost per pound could be reduced by $.50 if production volume could be increased by 10 percent (fixed costs would remain constant). The firm' marketing department has estimated the arc elasticity of demand for uranium to be - 1.5. (a) How much would Superior Metals have to reduce the price of uranium in order to achieve a 10 percent increase in the quantity sold? (b) What would the firm's (i) total revenue, (ii) total cost, and (ii) total profit be before and after the price cut? 8 - 60000
