Question 5 You negotiate with a retailer over a contract according to which the retailer would buy a large fraction of your current production for next year. The retailer is perfectly informed about consumer demand, but you do not know whether demand is high or low. You only know that the probability for high demand is 80%. If demand is high, the retailer's profit is £5 million minus what he pays to you according to your contract. If demand is low, the retailer's profit is £3 million minus what he pays to you. Your costs of producing the output specified in the contract are £1 million. You can make sequential offers for the retailer's total payment for you to deliver a fixed quantity of your production. As you know that your competitor is also seeking a similar contract with this retailer, and the retailer can only supply one firm due to limited shelf space, you know that you can only make at most two offers. If your first offer is rejected, the retailer will strike the deal with your…

Malaysians are at their worst financial position in 2022 compared with the last five years, and thelooming recession may push them to the brink with dwindling savings coupled with theaftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. A recent survey by Malaysian financial services websiteRinggitPlus revealed that 70 per cent of Malaysians saved less than RM500 per month (S$153)in 2022 or did not save at all. “This is compared with 52 per cent of Malaysians saving less thanRM500 monthly in 2021, the largest year-on-year increase since 2018,” the RinggitPlusMalaysian Financial Literacy Survey 2022 showed....Mr Patrick Tay, deals partner, economicsand policy at Malaysia PwC, is not surprised by the decline in savings in 2022. “One reason forthe depleted savings is low wages and higher inflation. But another key reason is that Malaysiansare spending more post-pandemic on holidays or other leisure expenses because some may feelthat they saved during the pandemic, and it is fine to now spend this year…
Due to the pandemic, the Malaysian government had announced total lockdown known as MCO in the country whereby everyone is required to (c) work from home until further notice. Lesser movements are allowed on the roads and the security is tight on this matter. Due to this scenario, there is a sudden increment of the birth rate in a small town in Seremban. It is almost double from previously. After 4 years, the birth rate is expected to normalize. Use demand and supply diagram to illustrate the effect of these events linking with the following statements. (i) The market for an hour of babysitting services in Seremban during the rise of birth rate. (ii) The market for an hour of babysitting services 20 years in the future, after the birth rate has been normalized. Assuming the children born today are old enough to work as babysitters. The market for an hour of babysitting services 30 years into the future, when children born today are likely to be having children of their own. (iii)
A computer reseller needs to decide how many laptops to order next month. The lowest end laptop costs $220 and the retailer can sell these for $300. However, the laptop manufacturer already announced that they are coming out with a new model in a couple of months. Any laptops that will not be sold by the end of next month will have to be heavily discounted at half-price. The reseller also needs to consider that every time he fails to fulfill a laptop order, he stands to lose $25 for every unit. Based on the past months’ sales, the reseller estimates the demand probabilities for sales (S) as follows: P(0 units) = 0.3; P(1 units) = 0.4; P(2 units) = 0.2; P(3 units) =0.1. The reseller thinks it’s a good idea to conduct a survey on whether or not his customers are going to buy laptops and how many. The survey results will either be Yes (Y), No (N) or Don’t Know (DK). The probability estimates of the results based on the demand for number of units are: P(Y|S = 0 units) = 0.1 P(Y|S = 1…
