Problem 4 (Regression Analysis, Service Company)
Bobby Gonzales owns a catering company that prepares banquets and parties
for both individual and business functions throughout the year. Gonzales
business is seasonal, with a heavy schedule during the summer months and
the year-end holidays and a light schedule at other times. During peak
periods there are extra costs.
One of the major events Gonzales' customers request is a cocktail party. He
offers a standard cocktail party and has developed the following cost
structure on a per person basis.

estimate was based on the actual data for the past 12 months presented
below. These data indicate that overhead costs vary with the direct labor-

QUESTION 2
In the airline market, vacation-traveler customers have a more elastic demand than business-traveler customers, although the marginal cost of serving either type of customer is the same. If the airline companies engage in price discrimination, which customers end up paying a higher price?
Vacation-traveler customers.
Prices will be the same because the marginal costs are the same.
There is not enough information to answer. We also need to know the average cost of serving each type of customer.
Business-traveler customers.
QUESTION 3
A seller engages in price discrimination by market segment. Morning customers have a price elasticity of demand E = -2, while evening customers have a price elasticity of demand E = -3. The MC of selling to both groups is the same and constant at $100. Therefore:
morning customers will pay P=$400, while evening customers will pay $300.
morning customers will pay P=$400, while evening…

Unlike on the passenger side where the number of seats is rather standard, the cargo capacity will vary based on the route, the aircraft, the number of passengers, the number of bags passengers are carrying and other metrics."

Each truckload hasa capacity for 700 units of product 101. When using truckload transportation, the transittime is 2 days. However, since your supplier has limited capacity to process orders, theyonly guarantee to ship your order within 10 days of receiving the order.1. Recall that pipeline inventory cost does not depend on the quantity shipped but onlythe transportation mode. In this problem, the lead time TL between when you pay foran order and when you receive it is 10 days of order processing plus 2 days of transit time: TL = 12 days. Thus, pipeline inventory cost per item should be computed asr ∗ v ∗ TL in compatible time units.
