Myrtle Air Express decided to offer direct service from Cleveland to Myrtle Beach. Management must decide between a full-price service using the company’s new fleet of jet aircraft and a discount service using smaller capacity commuter planes. It is clear that the best choice depends on the market reaction to the service Myrtle Air offers. Management developed estimates of the contribution to profit for each type of service based upon two possible levels of demand for service to Myrtle Beach: strong and weak. The following table shows the estimated quarterly profits (in thousands of dollars): Demand for Service Service Strong Weak Full price $960 -$490

Myrtle Air Express decided to offer direct servide from Cleveland to Myrtle Beach. Management must decide between a full-price service using the company's new fleet of jet aircraft and a discount service using smaller-capacity commuter planes. It is clear that the best choice depends on the market reaction to the service Myrtle Air offers. Management developed estimates of the contribution to profit for each type of service based on three possible levels of demand for service to Myrtle Beach: strong, medium and weak. The following table shows the estimated quarterly profits (in thousands of dollars): Demand for Service Service Strong Medium Weak Full Price 950 600 -400 Discount 750 450 300 Probability 0.4 0.3 0.3 Suppose that management of Myrtle Air Express has developed the following utility function: U(950) = 100, U(750) = 89, U(600) = 72, U(450) = 58, U(300) = 48, and U(-400) = 0. Use the expected utility approach to determine the optimal decision. What is the…

use the given data on the societal cost of crashes and the approximate U.S. population of 325 million to calculate the average social cost per person. U.S. Data (2016 estimates): Car Crash fatalities = 40,200; Car Crash injuries = 4.6 million; cost to society = $430 billion. (source: National Safety Council.) • Global Data (estimated); car crash fatalities = ≈ 50 million; car crash fatalities with victim's underage 45 ≈ 400,000. (Source: Association Safe International Road Travel.) About how often (once every x minutes or x seconds) on average is a person killed in a car crash in the United States? How often is a person injured in a car crash. The answer to this question is about once every 13 minutes; about once every 7 seconds. use the given data on the societal cost of crashes and the approximate U.S. population of 325 million to calculate the average social cost per person. The answer to this is about $1,320 per person. I forgot to put this so the answer can be solved. I…

When a company offers a new product or service, they estimate how much of that product or service people will want at different prices. This is referred to as the product or service demand . As the price of a product or service increases, the demand usually decreases, and this drives the price down. Companies use the estimated demand to determine how much of a product or service they are willing to supply at different prices. As the price of a product or service increases, companies are willing to supply more of it because they will earn more money. If you graph the demand and the supply curves on the same xy-plane, they will sometimes intersect at the point where the price and the supply are in equilibrium. Consider the scenario below. Yaseen is a local artist who wants to increase the amount of money she earns every month by selling at-home painting kits. These kits will include a photograph of the finished painting, a link and password to Yaseen’s YouTube channel where she will…
Over the years the U.S. grocery distribution and sales industry has grown. Today, the total industry sales are in the billions of dollars. Major retailers, such as Walmart and Target, added food to complement their merchandise sales and Amazon recently purchased Whole Foods. For many companies, forecasts of industry sales are necessary information to plan for short- and long-term decisions. Using the total U.S. grocery store annual sales in millions of dollars (https://www.census.gov/retail/index.html#mrts) in the following table, respond to the following items.

Disc Buddy, Inc. produces flash drives. The selling price is $8 per drive. The variable cost of production is $2.40 per unit and the fixed cost per month is $3,600. Calculate the contribution margin associated with each flash. In August, the company sold 200 more flash drives than What is the expected effect on profit of selling the additional drives. Calculate the contribution margin ratio associated with one flash drive. In October, the company had sales that were $2,400 higher than planned. What is the expected effect on profit related to the additional sales?
the restaurant value stream map, and recompute the total value-added and non-value-added time and cost given the following new information. The chef's time is valued at $30 per hour, oven operation at $10 per hour, precooking order waiting time at $5 per hour, and postcooking order waiting time at $60 per hour. The $60 estimate reflects the cost of poor quality for a dinner waiting too long that might be delivered to the customer late (and cold). If a restaurant uses iPads to place orders and notify waiters when the customer's order is ready, the time on the order board (now an electronic order board) decreases from five to one minute, and the prepared order wait time decreases from five to four minutes. Round your answer for the total revised time to the nearest whole number and round your answer for the total revised cost to three decimal places. Total Revised Time: minutes Total Revised Cost: $
