Suppose you come home from having earned your degree at CSUEB. Your parents own a localchain of fitness clubs that have a great reputation. Your father uses cost-plus pricing, and at themoment he is charging $200 for an annual membership, and is currently selling 800 memberships.Your parents are quite happy with their current markup above average costs You suspect that perhaps they could be doing better and be more profitable. After consulting with the club’s manager, you learn that the cost function for annual memberships is given by c(Q)=1000+20Q+(1/20)Q2 .Further, they tell you that the own price elasticity of demand is approximately -2.5 Are your parents choosing a membership price that is maximizing profit? If not, what would yousuggest – increase the price or reduce the price? Explain

In the 1970s, Nestle the Swiss based MNC manufacturer and distributor of food and beverage products, was accused of ‘hooking’ mothers of Africa onto the use of infant formula powdered milk for their babies rather than mothers’ breast milk. Given the powder had to be mixed with water and African water was impure many babies died. The structure of the Nestle organisation in Africa contained separate product, marketing and sales functions. It was a standalone business entity. So, the sales and product executives in Switzerland were not aware that the infant powdered milk was being ‘mis-sold’ and ‘mis-represented’ leading to dead African babies. Many commentators believed that it was the structure of the African business that was to blame as it had no oversight from Switzerland. It is fair to say that Nestle made significant and profound changes to its governance structure after this event. 1. Explain what you believe could have been lacking in the Nestle Africa business.

Question 2 Amazon could launch a smartphone this year that costs “a fraction” of what Apple charges for its iPhone, a new report says. Amir Efrati at The Information spills details from an allegedly leaked internal Amazon document. The paperwork is said to have been produced by a potential partner and two people who were involved in discussions with Amazon. According to Efrati, the document discussed strategies for penetrating smartphone markets in China, Europe and the United States. Earlier discussions also mentioned Latin America as a possibility. The phone, which has been referred to as “Project Aria,” is likely to go on sale this year, according to Efrati. There’s no specific price, but he says Amazon is “determined” to “keep the phone at a small fraction of the iPhone’s $550-and-up price tag.” If Amazon does launch a smartphone this year, it’s unclear if it will fall under the company’s own brand or if it will work with a partner. Efrati says Amazon was “in talks” with “multiple…

Cornell Pharmaceutical, Inc., and Penn Medical, Ltd., supply generic drugs to treat a wide variety of illnesses. A major product for each company is a generic equivalent of an antibiotic used to treat postoperative infections. Proprietary cost and output information for each company reveal the following relations between price (marginal cost) and output: P = $10 + $0.004Qc (Cornell) P = $8 + $0.008 Qp (Penn) 1. Assuming these two firms make up the entire industry, determine the industry supply curve when P < $10. 2. Determine the industry supply curve when P > $10.
CNG Pipeline Company At the weekly brainstorming session, John Spychalski, president of CNG Pipeline Company (CNG), suggested that they build a new pipeline from Elizabeth, New Jersey, to the Midwest to move refined petroleum products, gasoline, and diesel fuel. Following some discussion, he asked the strategic planning group to consider the idea before the next brown-bag session. Skip Grenoble, vice president for strategic planning, thought that John was not con- sidering the cost and impact of this idea. How could CNG obtain land to build the pipe- line, let alone obtain the necessary capital to finance the project? Then there was the question of the existing refineries located in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Skip knew refined petroleum products were being transported from the Gulf of Mexico refineries via barge and pipeline to the Midwest market areas currently. Skip turned over the project to Evelyn Thomchick, chief strategy analyst, to develop a preliminary analysis of the…
An auto part manufacturer sells six different parts to automobile companies: spot lights (A), break lights (B), headlights (C), thermostat (D), fan ditch (E), and battery (F). Demand is expected to be within 2,000, 1,500, 1,800, 1,200, 1,000 and 1,000 units of each of the auto parts, respectively. The table that follows summarizes the revenues and material costs for each product: Auto Parts Produced A B C D E F Price per Unit 200 120 180 200 430 260 Material Cost per Unit 35 25 40 45 170 60 Each of these auto parts needs to be tested before being sold. Specifically, there are three different tests the protocol requires each part passes, before completing the quality check. Appropriate testing equipment is required for each test: T1, T2 and T3. Equipment T1 and T2 are available 100 hours per week each, while T3 is available only 80 hours per week. The time (in minutes) required per device for each of the three tests is…
