- Based on Dobson and Kalish (1988). Chandler Enterprises produces two competing products, A and B. The company wants to sell these products to two groups of customers. The values each customer places on a unit of A and B are shown in the file P04_123.xlsx. Each customer will buy either product A or product B, but not both. A customer is willing to buy product A if she believes that the premium of product A is greater than or equal to the premium of product B and premium of product A is greater than or equal to 0. Here, the “premium” of a product is its value minus its price. Similarly, a customer is willing to buy B if she believes the premium of product B is greater than or equal to the premium of product A and the premium of product B is greater than or equal to 0. Group 1 has 1000 members, and group 2 has 1500 members. Chandler wants to set prices for each product to ensure that group 1 members purchase product A and group 2 members purchase product B.

He is in charge of purchasing dog beds from manufacturers. Bradley's mother, seeing an opportunity, starts a dog bed manufacturing company and quickly receives almost all of Louie Dog's orders. In order to fill the orders, Bradley's mother buys low-quality beds from another dog bed supplier and sells those to Louie Dog for a substantial markup. In fact, the price charged to Louie Dog is twice what other manufactures would charge the company. What type of scheme is this?

One of its products is a premium therapeutic bed set produced by OmniSleep, which comes with a mattress and a bed frame. Bria offers a package consisting of the mattress, the frame, and on-site installation by its staff. All of these components can be sold separately, as often done by other vendors, so Bria concludes that these are separate performance obligations. Bria sells the OmniSleep package for $3,000. The mattress and the frame are sold separately for $2,000 and $900, respectively. Other vendors in the same area typically charge $200 for on-site installation. Bria does not sell on-site installation separately. On average, the prices charged by Bria are 10% higher than those of its competitors. Bria estimates that it incurs about $100 of compensation and other costs to provide the installation service. The profit margin over cost is estimated to be approximately 35%.

- The Compressor Division and the Fabrication Division of Plash Company, which exclusively produces one type of washing machine, respectively, are its two divisions. For the Fabrication Division, which completes the washing machine and sells it to retailers, the Compressor Division makes compressors. The Fabrication Division buys compressors from the Compressor Division. The Fabrication Division will spend $40.00 on a compressor, which is the market price. (Skip updates to the inventory.) It is expected that the fixed costs for the Compressor Division remain constant for orders between 5,000 and 10,000 units. The Fabrication Division's fixed expenses are estimated to be $7.50 per unit at 10,000 units.

Presently, FrameBody sells its frames for $406 per frame. The variable cost for FrameBody is $306. The Cycle Division is willing to pay $314 to purchase the frames from FrameBody.

It considers two online suppliers to purchase its main raw material wood. Both online suppliers provide a similar price and shipping rate. Their service levels and lead times are also similar. However, they have a quite different charging structures. The first online supplier charges 5 percent commission on the market price of wood while the second online supplier requires a subscription fee of $10 million as an up-front payment for a 2-year period. The second online supplier also charges a commission of 1 percent on the market price of wood. Even though ElegantWood spends about $150 million on the purchase of wood each year, this amount varies depending on utilization. Production manager thinks that the next year's utilization will potentially be high and keep the wood spending at $150 million level. However, he also predicts that there is a 25 percent chance that the spending will drop by 10 percent. For the…arrow_forwardThe Aqua Company manufactures and sells television sets. Its assembly division (AD) buys television screens from the screen division (SD) and assembles the TV sets. The SD, which is operating at capacity, incurs an incremental manufacturing cost of $60 per screen. The SD can sell all its output to the outside market at a price of $110 per screen, after incurring a variable marketing and distribution cost of $10 per screen. If the AD purchases screens from outside suppliers at a price of $110 per screen, it will incur a variable purchasing cost of $8 per screen. Aqua's division managers can act autonomously to maximize their own division's operating income. 1. What is the minimum transfer price at which the SD manager would be willing to sell screens to the AD? 2. What is the maximum transfer price at which the AD manager would be willing to purchase screens from the SD? 3.
