Scenario
Between recalls on mass-produced commercial dog food and a general understanding of the benefits of a healthier diet for pets, the demand
for natural or organic dog food is experiencing a significant increase. Wanda's treats are more expensive than the mass-produced treats found
in most grocery and big box stores, but she prides herself on providing high-quality products and believes that her customers are willing to pay
the extra money for quality.
1. How does Wanda's strategy of being a high-quality provider take advantage of the shifts in consumer demand for healthy dog treats?
2. Identify and describe an event that might occur in the economy that would cause Wanda's strategy to no longer be successful for Salty Pawz.
If this event occurred, What actions would Wanda have to take in response, and what impact might they have on her business?
It is a set of those combination of two goods which offer the consumer the same level of satisfaction.

- Styles In an auction, potential buyers compete for a good by submitting bids. Adam Gallinsky, a social scientist from NWU, compared eBay auctions in which the same good was sold. He found on average that, the higher the number of bidders the higher the sales price. For example, in two separate auctions of identical IPods, the one with the higher number of bidders brought the higher sales price. According to Gallinsky, this explains why smart sellers set absurdly low opening prices (the lowest price the seller will accept), such as 1 cent for a new IPod. Use the concept of consumer and producer surplus to explain this reasoning.arrow_forwardStarting a gluten free and nut free restaurant has been a lifelong dream of Sydney Quintero, since he realized his dietary restrictions as a teenager.

In an article about the financial problems of USA Today, Newsweek reported that the paper was losing about $20 million a year. A Wall Street analyst said that the paper should raise its price from 50 cents to 75 cents, which he estimated would bring in an additional $65 million a year. The paper's publisher rejected the idea, saying that circulation could drop sharply after a price increase, citing the Wall Street Journal's experience after it increased its price to 75 cents. What implicit assumptions are the publisher and the analyst making about price elasticity? Thank you for your answer.arrow_forward
