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 hardware…
7-Eleven owner strengthens US grip with Speedway deal At a time when petrol demand has suffered its worst crash in decades and electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla has overtaken Toyota to become the world's most valuable carmaker, petrol stations seem an unlikely place to make a $21bn gamble. But forecourts have provided the backdrop for a hotly contested takeover battle between two of the world's largest convenience store operators and a debt-addicted UK petrol pump group, culminating in one of the year's biggest takeovers. Last week, Japan's Seven&i Holdings, which owns the 7-Eleven convenience store chain, outbid its rivals by nearly $4bn to strike a $21bn all-cash deal to buy Speedway, the petrol station chain owned by Marathon Petroleum, the US's biggest oil refiner. Those rivals- Blackburn-based EG Group and Canadian convenience store operator Alimentation Couche- Tard-had made offers closer to $17bn, said two people involved in the discussions. Speedway's suitors piled in at…

Bill is considering opening a new bookstore near the university campus. There are two possible sites under consideration. One is relatively small, while the other is large. If he opens at small site and demand is good, he will generate a profit of $60,000. If demand is low, he will lose $20,000. If he opens at large site and demand is high he will generate a profit of $90,000, but he will lose $40,000 if demand is low. He also has decided that he will open at one of these sites. He believes that there is a 60 percent chance that demand will be high. He assigns the following utilities to the different profits: U(60,000) = ? U(-20,000) = 0.20 U(90,000) = 1 U(-40,000) = 0 For what value of utility for $60,000, will Bill be indifferent between the two alternatives? (Show all your work)
The Camera Shop sells two popular models of digital SLR cameras (Camera A Price: $240, Camera B Price: $300). The sales of these products are not independent of each other, but rather if the price of one increase, the sales of the other will increase. In economics, these two camera models are called substitutable products. The store wishes to establish a pricing policy to maximize revenue from these products. A study of price and sales data shows the following relationships between the quantity sold (N) and prices (P) of each model: NA = 195 - 0.5PA + 0.35PB NB = 300 + 0.06PA - 0.5PB Construct a model for the total revenue and implement it on a spreadsheet. Develop a two-way data table to estimate the optimal prices for each product in order to maximize the total revenue. Vary each price from $250 to $500 in increments of $10. Max revenue occurs at Camera A price of $ - Max revenue occurs at Camera B price of $ -
A pizza shop sells two types of pizzas: Chicago-style and New York-style. The owner makes $8.00 Profit on each Chicago- style pizza pie & $5.50 Profit on each New York-style pizza pie. The owner would love to sell an unlimited amount of pizza but unfortunately they are limited by two production constraints: Prep Time and Cook Time. Each Chicago-style pizza requires 4 minutes of Prep Time, each New York-style pizza requires 3 minutes of Prep time, and there is only 600 minutes of Prep Time available. Each Chicago-style pizza requires 5 minutes of Cook Time, each New York-style pizza requires 2.5 minutes of Cook Time, and there is only 550 minutes of Cook Time available. Based on the profit contributions & constraints given in the information above, what is the pizza shop's expected profit if it produces at the optimal amount? $800 $1120 $1560 $1100 O $1320
enata and Jerome operate a company that makes miniature electronic surveillance drones from a warehouse in an industrial estate. Each drone costs them $49 to make and has additional fixed costs of $275 (per drone). On average, Renata and Jerome sell 85 drones per week for a price of $64 each. Renata and Jerome then decide to have a sale and reduces the price of each drone to an even numbered price between $54 and $60 inclusive. During the sale, they sell on average 150 devices per week. Q.Plot Total Cost, Total Revenue and Profit Functions on the same set of axes and Find the Marginal Revenue (MR) and Marginal Cost (MC) functions by differentiation and determine the level of output q at which MR = MC. With reference to your Excel plot, what conclusion can you make about this value?
Scenario: In the town of Isoville there are two grocery stores: Alfonso’s Ammenities and Bernice’s Bargains. The grocery stores are located at either end of the town, 1km apart. Recently, the manager of Alfonso’s Ammenities has proposed installing new self-service checkout technology, which promises to reduce the cost of each transaction at the grocery store by reducing staffing costs. The new technology is expected to reduce the marginal cost of selling a typical basket of groceries by $3. However, experience in other locations has shown that in about 25% of installations the self-service technology results in a significant increase in shop-lifting. In these cases, the need to hire extra security staff means that the marginal cost of a typical basket only falls by $1.50. Unfortunately, there is no way to know whether extra security will be required until after the new checkouts are installed.The Market: Isoville has 12,000 households, each of which purchases 1 basket of groceries per…
