Company Alpha and Company Beta are the only hotels in a small town. Before a large event in the town, they project the following profit payoff scenarios based on offering free breakfast or not, measured in thousands of dollars.
Company Beta
Free Breakfast No Free Breakfast
Company Alpha Free Breakfast $90, $95
$25, $110
No Free Breakfast $105, $65
$60, $55
a. Does Company Alpha have a dominant strategy to offer a free breakfast, no breakfast, or no dominant strategy?
b. Does Company Beta have a dominant strategy to offer a free breakfast, no breakfast, or no dominant strategy?
c. Assuming no cooperation, what will the profit be for each hotel?
d. The government offers a $20,000 subsidy for offering free breakfast. Draw a new payoff matrix reflecting the subsidy.
e. Assuming no cooperation, what will the profit be for each hotel after the subsidy?
MARKET SHARE At a certain university, three bookstores-
the University Bookstore, the Campus Bookstore, and the
Book Mart currently serve the university community.
From a survey conducted at the beginning of the fall quar-
ter, it was found that the University Bookstore and the
Campus Bookstore each had 40% of the market, whereas
the Book Mart had 20% of the market. Each quarter, the
University Bookstore retains 80% of its customers but
loses 10% to the Campus Bookstore and 10% to the Book
Mart. The Campus Bookstore retains 75% of its customers
but loses 10% to the University Bookstore and 15% to the
Book Mart. The Book Mart retains 90% of its customers
but loses 5% to the University Bookstore and 5% to the
Campus Bookstore. If these trends continue, what percent-
age of the market will each store have at the beginnin
the second quarter? The third quarter?
A ticket between Corellia and Dantooine (located in a galaxy far far away) sells for $150. The plane can hold 100 people. It costs $8000 to fly an empty plane. Each person on the plane incurs variable costs of $30 (for food and fuel). If the flight is overbooked, anyone who cannot get a seat receives $300 in compensation. On average, 95% of all people who have a reservation show up for the flight. To maximize profit, how many reservations for the flight should you book?
Hint: You can assume that the number of people that show up for a flight follows a binomial random variable.

- SC Español The owner of a chain of mini-markets wants to compare the sales performance of two of her stores, Store 1 and Store 2. Sales can vary considerably depending on the day of the week and the season of the year, so she decides to eliminate such effects by making sure to record each store's sales on the same 8 days, chosen at random. She records the sales (in dollars) for each store on these days, as shown in the table below.

Last year Supreme Ventures had budgeted up to $8.000 per week for local advertising. The money was allocated among four promotional media: tv spots, newspaper ads, and two types of radio advertisements. Supreme Ventures goal is to reach the largest possible high-potential audience through the various media at the lowest cost possible. The following table presents the number of potential gamblers reached by making use of an advertisement in each of the four media. It also provides the cost per advertisement placed and the maximum number of ads that can be purchased per week. Medium Audience Reached Cost Maximum Ads per Ad per Ad S per Week 12 TV spot (1 min) Daily newspaper (full-page ad) 8500 Radio spot (30 sec, primetime) 2400 Radio spot (1min afternoon) 5,000 800 925 5 290 25 2800 380 20 Supreme Ventures contractual arrangements require that at least 5 radio spots be placed each week.

Initially management must decide whether to market this toy or to conduct a test marketing programme. After test marketing the Gizmo, management must decide whether to abandon it or distribute it nationally. A national success will (NS) will increase profits by $1,000,000 and a failure (NF) will reduce profits by $200,000. Abandoning the product will not affect profits. The test marketing will cost the company a further $20,000. Decision Alternatives NS(NATIONAL | NF(NATIONAL FAILURE) SUCCESS) Market 1000,000 ($200,000) Abandon Prior Probabilities P(S) = 0.45 P(F) = .55 Conditional probability for a given state of nature where test results are either Favourable (F) P(U|NS) = 0.12; or negative (U): P(F]NS) = 0.88; P(U|NF) = 0.82 P(F|NF) = 0.18; After you have computed the revised probabilities round to two decimal places a) Construct the appropriate decision tree to help Toys make…arrow_forward
