According to Wine-Searcher, wine critics generally use a wine-scoring scale to communicate their opinions on the relative quality of wines. Wine scores range
from 0 to 100, with a score of 95 – 100 indicating a great wine, 90 – 94 indicating an outstanding wine, 85 – 89 indicating a very good wine, 80 – 84
indicating a good wine, 75 - 79 indicating a mediocre wine, and below 75 indicating that the wine is not recommended. Random ratings of a pinot noir recently
produced by a newly established vineyard in 2018 follow:

You are the manager of a firm that sells CR2032 batteries for car key fobs and other electronic goods. You typically sell the fobs for $7 for a four-pack and sell an average of 27,192 four-packs per month. Due to increased labor costs, you decide to raise the price to $9 per four-pack. When you do this your monthly sales fall to 22,248 four-packs
Assuming that your firm’s demand function is linear (i.e., takes the form ), calculate the linear demand function
22,248-27,192/9-7= -4944/2= -2472
Demand equation as 27,192 = a-2472(7) => a=27192+17304 =>a=44,496
27192= -2472x7+b
27192= -17304+b
27192+17304=44,496
Demand function is Q= -2472P+44,496
. Using the demand function that you estimated in the previous problem
Calculate demand and total revenue when the price is $7
Q= -2472x7+44,496= -17,304+44,496= 27,192
Total revenue=PxQ=7x27,192=…
Two travelers on a plane have identical luggage and each contains an identical plate of rare china. Both plates are worth the same amount and only the two travelers know their true value. The airline loses both bags. The travelers are informed that the airline is liable to compensate them only up to $300. In order to determine an honest appraisal of the value of the plates, each traveler is taken to a separate room and asked to write down

- There are two types of (college graduate) workers in financial industry: A (able) type and C (challenged) type. Potential employers in finance will pay $160,000 a year to a type A and $60,000 to a type C. Unfortunately, employers cannot observe the worker's type while each worker knows his or her own type. However, a market research informs all employers and workers that 60% of the population is type A and 40% is type C. Additionally, it is known to everyone that the worker types differ in their tolerance for taking an analytical course rather than easy ones in college. The A types regard the cost of each analytical course as equivalent to $3,000 a year of salary, while the C types regard it as $15,000 a year of salary. Alternative employment opportunities outside of the financial industry yield the A types a salary of $125,000 and the C types a salary of $30,000.

This officer was scheduled for promotion but, prior to final action on his promotion, he made a decision that cost the company a good deal of money. The question is whether he should be (1) promoted anyway, (2) denied the promotion, or (3) fired. The board has discussed the matter at length and is unable to reach unanimous agreement. In the course of the discussion it has become clear to all three of them that their separate opinions are as follows: • A considers the officer to have been a victim of bad luck, not bad judgment, and wants to go ahead and promote him but, failing that, would keep him rather than fire him. ⚫ B considers the mistake serious enough to bar promotion altogether; he'd prefer to keep the officer, denying promotion, but would rather fire than promote him. ⚫ C thinks the man ought to be fired but, in terms of personnel policy and…arrow_forwardA company has the head office at Ukraine and a branch at London.

- Ben Bates graduated from college six years ago with a finance undergraduate degree. Although he is satisfied with his current job, his goal is to become an investment banker. He feels that an MBA degree would allow him to achieve this goal. After examining schools, he has narrowed his choice to either Wilton University or Mount Perry College. Although internships are encouraged by both schools, to get class credit for the internship, no salary can be paid. Other than internships, neither school will allow its students to work while enrolled in its MBA program. Ben currently works at the money management firm of Dewey and Louis. His annual salary at the firm is $65,000 per year, and his salary is expected to increase at 3 percent per year until retirement. He is currently 28 years old and expects to work for 40 more years.

In exchange for this financing, VCs receive a share of a company's equity, and the founders of the firm typically stay on and continue to manage the company. The incentive conflict is between the managers, who are the , and venture capitalists, who are the . VC investments have two typical components: (1) managers maintain some ownership in the company and often earn additional equity if the company performs well; (2) VCs demand seats on the company's board. Placing VCs on the company's board serves to decision-making authority.arrow_forward
- Suppose that you own a used car dealership. You want to sell a 2005 Honda Civic LX. You know that this car is of high quality, and it cost you $5000 to acquire it (so you will not sell it at a price below $5000). However, consumers cannot see the quality of the car at the time of purchase. They believe that 25% of the cars in the used car market are high-quality cars and 75% are low-quality cars or “lemons.” A typical lemon costs $2000 to acquire (so you will not sell it at a price below $2000). Consumers are eager to buy and are willing to pay up to $3000 for a lemon and $6000 for a high-quality car. From now on, suppose that only you (the seller) know the quality of the cars. (Buyers do not know the quality, but know the proportion of high- and low-quality cars in the market). Suppose that you could offer bumper-to-bumper warranties.
