The Acme Widget Company has found that if widgets are priced at $125, then 2700 will be sold each month. They have also found that for every increase of $18, there will be 100 fewer widgets sold each month. The cost to produce each widget is $25 plus the monthly fixed costs are $3800.
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 $70,000. If it is not better and they replace the old product with the new product on the market, they will lose
$25,000 to competitors. If they decide not to market the new product, they will lose a total of $60,000 if it is better and
just research costs of $20,000 if it is not. Complete parts (a) and (b) below.
(a) Prepare a payoff matrix.

- 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 $60,000. If it is not better and they replace the old product with the new product on the market, they will lose $25,000 to competitors. If they decide not to market the new product, they will lose a total of $50,000 if it is better and just research costs of $20,000 if it is not. Answer parts a through c below.

These updates take up a large part of both the marketing and editorial teams’ time. Because these updates take so much time, marketing is interested in knowing whether reducing posts (updates) on Facebook (a specific site) will also lessen their fan interaction; if not, both departments may pursue using their time in more productive ways. The weekly number of posts (updates) and fan interactions for Facebook during a 9-week period are recorded in Table. Compute the covariance and correlation between Facebook posts (site updates) and fan interactions. The data are stored in the data file RELEVANT Magazine.

- Please answer in detailarrow_forwardA farmer estimates that if he harvests his soybean crop now, he will obtain 1,000 bushels, which he can sell at $3.00 per bushel. However, he estimates that this crop will increase by an additional 1,200 bushels of soybeans for each week he delays harvesting, but the price will drop at a rate of 50 cents per bushel per week; in addition, it is likely that he will experience spoilage of approximately 200 bushels per week for each week he delays harvesting. When should he harvest his crop to obtain the largest net cash return, and how much will be received for his crop at that time?arrow_forwardThe River is a literary magazine published by the English Department at Tech. It has a 70-year history and enjoys an excellent reputation for providing a literary outlet for aspiring Appalachian writers in particular. However, its sales, mostly through independent bookstores and college libraries, have never been very large. Several years ago, the magazine’s advisory board decided to create a Web site and post the bi-monthly issues online for free access. Due to poor economic conditions and state budget cuts, Tech recently withdrew funding for the magazine, and in order to make up for this financial loss, the magazine’s staff has decided to try to sell advertising (especially to local and regional businesses) on the magazine’s Web site. In order to sell advertising, the magazine’s staff would like to be able to provide potential advertisers with a forecast of the number of “visits” the Web site might receive in future months. Following is the number of monthly visits the Web site has…arrow_forward
- Netflix made headlines in September 2011 when it split its streaming video service and its DVD by-mail service into two companies. This decision was based on projections that streaming videos will replace DVDs in the future. In this problem, you will explore these projections. Numbers below are close to the correct values, but vary to allow more practice with this idea. Total DVD and Blu-ray disc sales in 2009 were $8.72 billion. For the purposes of this problem, you will combine DVD and Blue-ray disk sales into one category of DVD sales. A study by In-Stat predicted that "physical disc sales will decline by $4.7 billion by 2014," and that "streaming, on the other hand, should grow from its current $2.1 billion to $6.3 billion over the same time period (2009–2014)."12 What is the slope, including units, of the model for DVD sales?

- A tutoring service provides tutoring for a fee. When the tutoring service charges $11/hour, there is a demand for 28 tutors per week. When the hourly rate rises to $17/hour, the demand drops to 16 tutors per week. On the other hand, at $11/hour, the service is able to support only 28 tutors per week, whereas at the rate of $17/hour, it is able to provide 58 tutors per week. Find the price per hour at which the number of tutors demanded and the number of tutors supplied will be equal.arrow_forwardWhen a company offers a new product or service, they estimate how much of that product or service people will want at different prices. This is referred to as the product or service demand . As the price of a product or service increases, the demand usually decreases, and this drives the price down. Companies use the estimated demand to determine how much of a product or service they are willing to supply at different prices. As the price of a product or service increases, companies are willing to supply more of it because they will earn more money. If you graph the demand and the supply curves on the same xy-plane, they will sometimes intersect at the point where the price and the supply are in equilibrium. Consider the scenario below. Yaseen is a local artist who wants to increase the amount of money she earns every month by selling at-home painting kits. These kits will include a photograph of the finished painting, a link and password to Yaseen’s YouTube channel where she will…arrow_forward
