Assume a variable cost of $10 per table and an average spending of $60 per table.With the daily deal ($60 for $30 coupon), Groupon provides Mr. Chang with a revenue of $17 pertable. The analysis provided in the New York Timesblog indicated that Mr. Chang makes money($7 per table) through the daily deal (rather than incurring advertising expense).

Question 3:After some negotiations Mr. Chang receives the following alternative offers:1. A Groupon deal with a revenue of $22 per table.2. A Savored deal in which the total revenue when reserving xtables isr(x) = 400 + 17·(x−10).This deal has the condition that at least 10 tables need to be reserved for Savored customers.3. A Savored deal in which the total revenue per table is $18 is the number of reserved tables issmaller than 30 and $25 if the number of reserved tables is at least 30.

We select the 3 alternatives and plot the payout of each alternative against the number of tables reserved

No. Of Tables	Alternative 1	Alternative 2	Alternative 3
A	B = 22*A	C = min (0, 400 + 17* (x-10))	D = 18A if A<30, 25A if A>=30
1	22	0	18
2	44	0	36

34	748	808	850
35	770	825	875
36	792	842	900

If we plot this on a graph, we get the following

So we see that will 9 tables are reserved, it is best to go with Alternative 1.

If The number of Reserved tables are between 10 and 30, then it is best to go with alternative 2

If the number of Reserved Tables are 30 or more than that, then it is best to go with Alternative 3.
