Answer to Problem 1SPPA

Company M is a place where usually anyone goes. Art Restaurant will attract middle-class income earners and upper-middle class income earners and LB in NY City will attract the upper-middle class income earners and high-income earners.

Explanation of Solution

Company M does not accept reservations as it is restaurant where one can sit and have a meal. All types of people visit Company M since its menu prices are not costly. Thus, there is no allocation of table and most people who visit Company M are willing to wait till a seat is vacant, hence reservation is not accepted.

Art restaurant is usually a target for middle-class income earners and upper-middle class income earners and people. The people who want to visit this restaurant prefer to either wait for a vacant seat or they reserve in prior in order to eliminate waiting.

LB in NY City focuses more on the upper-middle class income earners and high-income earners and usually these types of people visit this restaurant. Hence, for these elite people to eliminate waiting and to maintain the restaurant's class, reservation is vital.
