  Eco 550 week 6 assignment 2 Operations Decisions

  $20.00

  Using the regression results and other computations from Assignment 1, determine the market structure in which the low-calorie food company now operates.

  Use the Internet to research two (2) of the leading competitors in the low-calorie microwavable food industry, and take note of their pricing strategies, profitability, and their relationships within the industry (worldwide).

  Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

  1. Outline a plan that will assess the effectiveness of the market structure for the company’s operations. In Assignment 1, the assumption was that the market structure [or selling environment] was perfectly competitive and that the equilibrium price was to be determined by setting Q_Dequal to Q_S. You are now aware of recent changes in the selling environment that suggest an imperfectly competitive market where your firm now has substantial market power in setting its own “optimal” price.
  2. Given that business operations have changed from the market structure specified in the original scenario in Assignment 1, determine two (2) likely factors that might have caused the change. Predict the primary manner in which this change would likely impact business operations in the new market environment.
  3. Analyze the short run and long cost functions for the low-calorie microwaveable food company given the cost functions below and suggest substantive ways in which the low-calorie food company may use this information in order to make decisions in both the short-run and the long-run.

  Total Cost: TC = 160,000,000 – 115.56Q + 0.01111Q²

  Variable Cost: VC = – 115.56Q + 0.01111Q²

  Marginal Cost: MC = -115.56 + 0.02222Q

  More specifically:

  1. Write the equation for the  Average Total Cost function (ATC). (Hint: ATC = TC/Q.)
  2. Determine the quantity (Q) associated with minimum ATC. (Hint: ATC is minimized when ATC = MC).
  3. Determine the minimum value of ATC.

  Remember that to be profitable, the product’s price (P) must be greater than its average total cost (ATC) at the optimal level of output (Q).

  4. Determine the possible circumstances under which the company should discontinue operations. Suggest key actions that management should take in order to confront these circumstances. Provide a rationale for your response. (Hint: Your firm’s price must cover average variable costs in the short run and average total costs in the long run to continue operations.)
  5. Suggest one (1) pricing policy that will enable your low-calorie microwavable food company to maximize profits. Provide a rationale for your suggestion. (Hint: In Assignment 1, you determined your firm’s market demand equation to be Q_D= 211,000 -10P. This is equivalent to the inverse demand equation: P = 21,100 – 0.10 Q.  Since Total Revenue (TR) is P x Q, your firm’s  Total Revenue (TR)  and Marginal Revenue (MR) functions are:

  Total Revenue:  TR = (P*Q) = 21,100 Q – 0.10 Q²

  Marginal Revenue: MR =(dTR/dQ) = 21,100 – 0.20 Q

  Hint: Use the profit maximization rule MR = MC to determine your optimal price and optimal output level now that you have market power. Compare these values with the values you generated in Assignment 1.  Is your price higher or lower? What about the quantity?

  6. Outline a plan, based on the information provided in the scenario that the company could use in order to evaluate its financial performance. Consider all the key drivers of performance, such as company profit( or loss) for both the short term and long term, and the fundamental manner in which each factor influences managerial decisions.

  Hints:

  (a)Calculate profit in the short run by using the price and output levels you generated in part 6. [Optional: You may want to compare this to what profit would have been in Assignment 1 using the cost function provided here].

  (b) Calculate profit in the long run by using the output level you generated in part 3 and assuming that the selling environment will likely be very competitive. (Why would this be a valid assumption?) Remember that increasing competition in the long run drives the market price (P) down until it is equal to minimum ATC in the industry.

  7. Recommend two (2) actions that the company could take in order to improve its profitability and deliver more value to its stakeholders. Outline, in brief, a plan to implement your recommendations.
  8. Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note:Wikipedia does not qualify as an academic resource.

  ECO 204 Assignment Week 2: Raise or Lower Tuition

  $12.50

  Raise or Lower Tuition?

  You have been hired by Nobody State University (NSU) as a consultant to help the university with how to increase their total revenue. The university has been struggling in recent years, so they have hired you to help them in their last attempt to find an appropriate solution so that the university can survive.

  Raise or Lower Tuition? Suppose that, in an attempt to raise more revenue, Nobody State University increases its tuition.

  • Assess a raise in tuition and if it will necessarily result in more revenue.
  • Describe the conditions under which revenue will (a) rise, (b) fall, or (c) remain the same.
  • Explain the process of revenue at NSU, focusing on the relationship between the increased revenue from students enrolling at NSU despite the higher tuition and the lost revenue from possible lower enrollment.
  • If the true price elasticity were (-1.2), discuss what you would suggest the university do to expand revenue.
  • Using what you have learned in this course, explain how you would resolve this problem if you were the President of NSU.

  In a three- to five-page paper (not including title and reference pages), provide subheadings or separate paragraphs for each of the questions listed to help focus your paper for the executives that have requested it. Support your paper with at least two academic sources from the Ashford Library.

  Consumer Demand Analysis and Estimation Applied Problems
  Please complete the following two applied problems:
  Problem 1:
  Patricia is researching venues for a restaurant business. She is evaluating three major attributes that she considers important in her choice: taste, location, and price. The value she places on each attribute, however, differs according to what type of restaurant she is going to start. If she opens a restaurant in a suburban area of Los Angeles, then taste is the most important attribute, three times as important as location, and two times as important as price. If she opens a restaurant in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, then location becomes three times as important as taste and two times as important as price. She is considering two venues, respectively, a steak restaurant and a pizza restaurant, both of which are priced the same. She has rated each attribute on a scale of 1 to
  100 for each of the two different types of restaurants.
  Attribute
  Taste
  Location
  Price

  Show all of your calculations and processes. Describe your answer for each question in complete sentences.

  a. Which of the two options should Patricia pursue if she wants to open a restaurant in a suburban area of Los Angeles? Calculate the total expected utility from each restaurant option and compare. Graph is not required. Describe your answer, and show your calculations.

  b. Which of the two options should she pick if she plans to open a restaurant in the Los Angeles metropolitan area? Describe your answer, and show your calculations.

  c. Which option should she pursue if the probability of finding a restaurant venue in a suburban area can be reliably estimated as 0.7 and in a metropolitan area as 0.3? Describe your reasoning and show your calculations.

  d. Provide a description of a scenario in which this kind of decision between two choices, based on weighing their underlying attributes, applies in the “real-world” business setting. Furthermore, what are the benefits and drawbacks, if any, to this method of decision making?

  Problem 2:

  The demand function for Newton’s Donuts has been estimated as follows:
  Qx = -14 – 54Px + 45Py + 0.62Ax
  where Qx represents thousands of bagels; Px is the price per bagel; Py is the average price per bagel of other brands of bagels; and Ax represents thousands of dollars spent on advertising Newton’s Donuts. The current values of the independent variables are Ax=120, Px=0.95, and Py=0.64.

  Show all of your calculations and processes. Describe your answer for each question in complete sentences, whenever it is necessary.

  a. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for Newton’s Donuts and describe what it means. Describe your answer and show your calculations.

  b. Derive an expression for the inverse demand curve for Newton’s Donuts. Describe your answer and show your calculations.

  c. If the cost of producing Newton’s Donuts is constant at $0.15 per donut, should they reduce the price and thereafter, sell more donuts (assuming profit maximization is the company’s goal)?

  d. Should Newton’s Donuts spend more on advertising?

  How Climate Change is Predicted to Impact El Nino/La Nina Cycles

  Instructions

  Choose an environmental topic/issue that interests you and do a literature search on it. This research project should involve some environmental science topic that is important to human society. To receive any credit, your paper should contain a minimum of at least 8 typewritten pages (around 3000 words) of your own written text, double-spaced and 12-point Times New Roman font.  Figures, tables, quoted text, and/or photos add to the paper, but do not count toward the 8-page minimum of written material. If the project is not at least 8 pages long, it will be returned ungraded. It is best to write more than 8 pages to make sure. (Please reduce the file size of any photos you attach so that they are appropriate for uploading.)  Your report will be graded on content, research effort, organization and writing (including English, grammar, spelling etc.).

  Additionally, this paper should include a literature cited (bibliography) section at the end referencing all your information sources (see below for examples).  You should cite at least 8 different references in your paper for each participant; at least 4 of these references (per participant) must be from a source other than a website.

  Your content score will be negatively affected if the paper is just a series of quotations. Quoted material is also not part of the 8 pages of your text. Though this is not plagiarism, it is poor writing. The paper needs to portray the knowledge you have gained from your research. Your opinion is welcome in this paper, but it must be supported with more than just your opinion. Published reference materials can greatly support an opinion.

  Citations

  It will be nearly impossible to receive a high grade without bringing references into your work. If all of your cited material comes from the web, you will not be likely to receive a high grade either. We do not accept Wikipedia as a source of factual information for this class or accept citations from Wikipedia for your work. Do not use Wikipedia. You must go to the library, newspapers, books, etc. and find reference material to support your written work there. References must be included underneath all figures, tables, graphs, and images. If you copy written material word-for-word from a book, website, etc., you must put quotation marks around the text and clearly CITE the author/source of the material.  You may do this in one of two ways:

  You must also include a full reference to ALL the sources you use by using in-text citations as well as listing them in proper bibliographic format (in alphabetic order) on a separate reference page.  You may choose to use the APA or MLA styles of citation, but please be consistent in using one or the other throughout your paper and bibliography.
