Starting a gluten free and nut free restaurant has been a lifelong dream of Sydney Quintero, since he realized his dietary restrictions as a teenager. Now, that Sydney has
graduated with his business degree, he is pursuing his dream. He has researched geographic locations around his state and selected three different cities, Fort Alden,
Central City and Roseville, as possibilities for his flagship restaurant. The market for gluten/nut free products often changes due to health awareness, current trends and
general demographic changes in population. Sydney's marketing research has given him some estimates for the different locations as described in the decision table
below.

- Walmart recently asked Mondelez, owner of Oreos to bring back a new-and-improved version of its 1990's cereal, Oreo O's. By studying social media comments, Walmart discovered a preference for cereal to address late-night snacking. What should Walmart measure during the initial 90-day relaunch, exclusive to its stores? At what level should it measure, and why?arrow_forwardYou may have observed that items such as different brands of aspirin, tomato sauce, or gasoline are typically priced the same as each other. This is particularly true when consumers can find these goods in close proximity to each other. For example, prices are often the same at gas stations that are on opposite sides of the street. Prices are also generally the same for products next to each other on the same grocery store shelf. Choose the correct fill in the blank. The aforementioned examples are goods that are likely to be substitutes or complements You would expect the value of the cross-price elasticity to be insignificant, small, or large because the opportunity cost of getting information on price is low.arrow_forwardYou must allocate the 70,000 seats in Reliant Stadium (in Houston) among Texan (Houston) and Cowboy (Dallas) fans for an upcoming game between the two footfall teams. You can set different prices for seats in the Dallas and Houston sections of the stadium. Suppose you can obtain $40/ticket from Houston fans irrespective of the number of seats you allocate to Houston fans. You must drop price in order to sell more tickets to Dallas fans, however. Let Q be the number of tickets you allocate to Dallas fans. Assume that the maximum price you can charge for these tickets is given by the following inverse demand function P= 80 500 (a) Express the total revenue (on all 70,000 seats) from ticket sales as a function of Q; (b) Derive the first-order condition of the revenue-maximizing problem (it's a function about Q); (c) What is the optimal number of seats allocated to Dallas fans?arrow_forward
- You were promoted as the manager of a new Clean-Well Sanitary Store that sell cleaning andsanitation products wholesale.

How will this affect your store’s sales of sanitationproducts?arrow_forwardIn the following scenarios, you will be given a product and an event. Determine what will happen to the demand for the product based on the event, what happens to the demand curve, and give the non-price determinant that caused it to occur. (chose from the 7 determinants listed in the notes). The first one is answered for you as an example. EXAMPLE/ Product - Hamburgers Event - The price of steak increases Answer/ Demand increases - Curve shifts right - Price of substitutes 1. Pepsi - The price of Coke decreases dramatically. 2. Steak - Incomes fall due to the recession 3. Hair dye - Hair dye is successfully advertised in the media. 4. Computer software - The price of computers goes down.arrow_forwardType the correct answer in the box. Spell all words correctly. Vivian conducted market research on her company’s products. She found that after the company raised the price of its product by $1.50, the demand in the uptown region remained the same with only minor fluctuations. However, she found that the demand in the downtown region dropped by 20 percent after the price change. How should Vivian take these demands into consideration? In a situation where demand differs in different areas, Vivian should consider the demand.arrow_forward
- AT&T. It is early in the days of cellular (or mobile) telephony, and you are the price manager for AT&T's cell phone plan. It has been determined that there are two market segments: low-value consumers and high-value consumers. For simplicity, assume that all consumers within a segment are identical. A consumer in the low-value segment has monthly demand (measured in number of minutes) of Q, (p) = 80 - p, and a consumer in the high-value segment has monthly demand of QH (P) = 100 -p, where p is in cents per minute. a. Assume AT&T charges a flat price per minute with no membership fee. Derive the expression for consumer surplus for a low-value consumer and for a high-value consumer as a function of the price, p. Low-value consumer surplus, CS, (p): = High-value consumer surplus, CS, (p) = Show Transcribed Text Assume AT&T's marginal cost is a constant 10 cents per minute. You have decided to use a two-part tariff and must choose the monthly fixed fee f and the per-minute charge p.

- Question Earlier this year, 2021, the price of chicken meat rose unexpectedly reached to 250/ kilo at peak from the previous price of 170/ kilo. This 68% increase of price per kilo was primarily caused by excess demand for chicken meat. This is the result of the decrease in consumption for pork meat due to the threat of African Swine Flu (ASF). However, even though consumer shifted preferences, the increase in the price of chicken was perceived to be too high for the budget of consumers. Therefore, sellers realized decrease in their daily aggregate sales from 1,000 kilos to 700 kilos. 1. Illustrate the change in the market equilibrium through a graph. 2. What presumably happened to the total revenues of the sellers during the price hike period? a.) Compute the price elasticity of demand b.) Derive the total revenue before the hike (TR1), and after the hike (TR2).arrow_forwardTom had an "absolute need" for web help and therefore was ready to "pay anything" to get it.
