Each advisor works for 10 hours a day during the registration period. SMU currently has 10 advisors.

- The orthopods & the radiologistSuppose that there are ten orthopaedic surgeons that have their private consultation rooms in a shared facility. Currently each earns $20,000 per month and pays $10,000 per month towards the operating expenses of the joint facility.A world renowned radiologist has just moved to town and is deliberating over where to set-up his practice. If he goes it alone he will earn $300,000 per month and will have to incur a monthly operating cost of $100,000. On the other hand, the orthopods have calculated that if they were to accommodate him in their existing facility, their total operating costs would increase from $100,000 to $120,000 per month, but each individual practice will increase its revenues from $20,000 to $50,000 per month. Moreover, they have convinced the radiologist, that his practice will also increase revenues from patients by $20,000 per month.Assuming that the 10 orthopods have chosen a representative to negotiate with the radiologist (so…arrow_forwardCrede Inc. has two divisions.
