Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 23P
Residents of Mill River have fond memories of ice skating at a local park. An artist has captured the experience in a drawing and is hoping to reproduce it and sell framed copies to current and former residents. He thinks that if the market is good he can sell 400 copies of the elegant version at $125 each. If the market is not good, he will sell only 300 at $90 each. He can make a deluxe version of the same drawing instead. He feels that if the market is good he can sell 500 copies of the deluxe version at $100 each. If the market is not good, he will sell only 400 copies at $70 each. In either case, production costs will be approximately $35,000. He can also choose to do nothing. If he believes there is a 50% probability of a good market, what should he do? Why?

Madhu Ranadive, president of Davisville Toy Company, Inc., in Stratford, Ontario, has just reviewed the design of a new pull-toy locomotive for 1- to 3-year-olds. Madhu’s design and marketing staff are very enthusiastic about the market for the product and the potential of follow-on circus train cars. Madhu’s production people have worked out the manufacturing issues and produced a successful pilot run. However, the quality testing staff suggests that under certain conditions, a hook to attach cars to the locomotive and the crank for the bell can be broken off. This is an issue because children can choke on small parts. In the quality test, 1- to 3-year-olds were unable to break off these parts and there were no failures. But when the test simulated the force of an adult tossing the locomotive into a toy box or a 5-year-old throwing it on the floor, there were failures. The estimate is that one of the two parts can be broken off four times out of 100 000 throws. Neither the design nor…
Cory Rogers is ready to write the first draft of the final report for Auto Concepts. Nick Thomas of Auto Concepts has told Cory that ZEN Motors has its own marketing research department and that researchers there are eager to read his report. Cory knows they will be particularly interested in technical issues such as determination of sample size and margin of error. Cory has also had a frank discussion with Nick about conclusions and recommendations. Nick told him, “Cory, I want to know what the numbers say. What are the conclusions based on those numbers? In terms of how to proceed, I will meet with my top staff members, and we will make those decisions. We have to factor in many constraints to make final decisions.”
As an experienced marketing researcher, Cory is very familiar with the steps in the marketing research process. Knowledge of these steps is useful in writing the method section of his marketing research reports. For example, Cory knows he should address the types and…

- Howard Weiss, Inc., is considering building a sensitive new radiation scanning device. His managers believe that there is aprobability of .35 that the ATR Co. will come out with a competitive product. If Weiss adds an assembly line for the product and ATR Co. does not follow with a competitive product, Weiss's expected profit is $40,000 ; if Weiss adds an assembly line and ATR follows suit, Weiss still expects $20,000 profit. If Weiss adds a new plant addition and ATR does not produce a competitive product, Weiss expects a profit of $600,000 ; if ATR does compete for this market, Weiss expects a loss of $120,000.Part 2a) Expected value for the option = $ b)Expected value for the build new plant option = c) The alternative that provides Weiss the…arrow_forwardA work team is looking at a current product in the LUML catalog --- the L555X fixture. The L555X was introduced about 2 years ago; is a pretty good seller; seems to meet customer needs (virtually no complaints and few returns); and should be in production for several more years. No major changes in capability are planned. However, LUML is interested in improving the profits from the product. Marketing opines that the L555X is fairly priced given the competition and L555X’s capabilities. One option to try to increase profits is to raise the price (revenue) while holding the production expenses constant. Marketing believes that the L555X has a typical demand curve; and an increase in price will lead to a decrease in sales volume and lower overall revenue. On January 13, the team analyzed the current design and identified 63 parts in the L555X. On January 27 and 28, the team met with the industrial engineering department. Together they were able to identify 108 interfaces in the L555X.…arrow_forwardA town is replacing a sidewalk that stretches in front of fivehomes.

It is a famous case that many universities use in engineering education. Omar, who is a student of Professor Ahmad's class found a website that contains analysis done by many students of Western University. Omar told his close friends Jameel and Khalid what he found. They selected three different analyses. That means each one got a well- written and ready-made answer. Omar directly copied from what he selected. He did not even indicate the website as a source of reference in his submission. Jameel did not directly copy from the one he selected. He rephrased some of the sentences. He also indicated the website as a source of reference in his submission. Although Khalid studied the sample he selected and some others samples available on that website, he wrote the analysis on his own. He also indicated the website as a source of reference.
