You work for Mango Computer Company that is considering a new productdevelopment project to develop a new tablet computer. As part of their planning process, the development team is considering whether or not to outsource the production of the screen. The estimated cost of the screen depends on the market demand of the new tablet that is uncertain at this time. If the market demand is high, the development team estimates that they can invest in special robotic equipment that will result in a reduced variable (unit) cost. You have been asked to consider the problem of outsourcing the production of the screen. After considerable analysis, you have estimated the following unit costs as a function of future demand (low, average, or high) of the tablet computer and the probability estimates of future demand for the next five years. a)Draft a decision tree that describes the problem of deciding whether or not to outsource the production of the computer screen. b)Based on your probability estimates of future demand, would you recommend outsourcing the production of the screen or producing it in-house? What is the expected cost associated with this decision? c)A consultant has stated that she can forecast future demand with complete certainty. What is the maximum amount that you would pay her for this information? (Hint: Compare the expected cost in part (b) with the expected cost you would incur if you know each state of nature before deciding to produce in-house or outsource.)

At a student café, there are equal numbers of two types of customers with the following values. the café owner cannot distinguish between the two types of students because many students without early classes arrive early anyway (i. e., she cannot price-discriminate). students with early classes students without early classes coffee 70 60 banana 51 101 the marginal cost of coffee is 10 and the marginal cost of a banana is 40. the café owner is considering three pricing strategies: 1. mixed bundling: price bundle of coffee and a banana for 161, or just a coffee for 70. 2. price separately: offer coffee at 60, price a banana at 101. 3. bundle only: coffee and a banana for 121. do not offer goods separately. assume that if the price of an item or bundle is no more than exactly equal to a student's willingness to pay, then the student will purchase the item or bundle. for simplicity, assume there is just one student with an early class, and one student without an early class. price strategy revenue from pricing strategy cost from pricing strategy profit from pricing strategy 1. mixed bundling $ $ $ 2. price separately $ $ $ 3. bundle only $ $ $ pricing strategy yields the highest profit for the café owner.
