Ms. Somsri, the marketing manager for Sigma had to decide within the next week whether or not to introduce such as a change. If introduced, the new class would have to be retained for at least 100 days. Somsri felt that the essential question to be answered in her analysis was whether such a deal would attract sufficient new customers to offset the loss of revenue from existing tourist customers switching to the lower-contribution economy class. Somsri, having had some experience with these problems in the past, made the following assessments: On an average day she felt that there was a 1 in 3 chance that 200 new customers would be attracted to the new class, a 1 in 3 chance at the figure would be around 100 new customers, and a 1 in 3 chance that it…arrow_forward
- What is the difference between desired service and adequate service? Why are desired service expectations more stable than adequate service expectations?arrow_forwardChatham Automotive purchased new electric forklifts to move steel automobile parts two years ago. They cost $65,000 each, including the charging stand. In practice, it was found that they did not hold a charge as long as claimed by the manufacturer, so operating costs are very high. As a result, their current salvage value is about $9,000. Chatham is considering replacing them with propane models. New propane forklifts cost $58,000 each. After one year, they have a salvage value of $40,000, and thereafter decline in value at a declining-balance depreciation rate of 20 percent, as does the electric model from this time on. The MARR is 8 percent. Operating costs for the electric model will be $19,000 this year, rising by 12 percent per year. Operating costs for the propane model will initially be $11,000 over the first year, rising by 12 percent per year. Should Chatham Automotive replace the forklifts now?

- Problem 13-11 (Algo) The state and local police departments are trying to analyze crime rates so they can shift their patrols from decreasing-rate areas to areas where rates are increasing. The city and county have been geographically segmented into areas containing 5,650 residences. The police recognize that not all crimes and offenses are reported: people do not want to become involved, consider the offenses too small to report, are too embarrassed to make a police report, or do not take the time, among other reasons. Every month, because of this, the police are contacting by phone a random sample of 1,170 of the 5,650 residences for data on crime. (Respondents are guaranteed anonymity.) Here are the data collected for the past 12 months for one area: CRIME MONTH SAMPLE SIZE CRIME RATE INCIDENCE January February March 9 1,170 1,170 1,170 1,170 1,170 1,170 1,170 1,170 1,170 1,170 1,170 11 April May 9 9 June 11 July August September October 9 12 10 13 November 13 December 10 1,170 a.…arrow_forwardEcho Corporation Echo Corporation manufactures high-quality audio components for home entertainment systems, such as speakers, amplifiers, and receivers. Echo Corporation has been losing market share in recent years due to the competitive pricing of other audio component manufacturers that engage in outsourcing.

The services rendered by these young people enhance the quality of life for the residents. They could not be provided if they were not donated because there are not enough resources to do so. In year 2019, the young people donated 5,000 hours in total. The services would have cost $10.00 per hour if they had been purchased but they were worth $20 an hour to Syhoo Senior Center.

The result? No other airline in the industry's history has enjoyed the customer loyalty and extended profitability for which Southwest is now famous. The company now flies more than 3,400 times each day to over 64 destinations across the United States There's more to the story, however, than making promises and hoping to fulfill them. A large part of Southwest Airlines' success lies in its ability to plan long-term capacity to better match demand, as also improving the utilization of its fleet by turning around an aircraft at the gate faster than its competitors.
