1) For a concave mirror at what object distance does the associated image transition between upright and inverted?

2) As the object distance increases through the distance you answered in part one does the image transition from upright to inverted or from inverted to upright?

3) For object distances slightly less than the distance you answered in part one is the image location near or far from the mirror and is it in front of or behind the mirror?

4) For object distances slightly more than the distance you answered in part one is the image location near or far from the mirror and is it in front of or behind the mirror?

5) For distances near to the distance you answered in part one is the image reduced or enlarged and is it reduced or enlarged by a small or large amount?

Disney raises theme park ticket prices, again. You've got to pay more to play in the Magic Kingdom, because Walt Disney just raised its ticket prices again, breaking the $100 mark. A one-day ticket to the Walt Disney World Resort's flagship theme park, the Magic Kingdom, now costs $105, up from $99. Prices had been jacked up by $4 just last year. The price of admission applies to anyone 10 years and older entering the Orlando-area theme park. Younger children, aged 3 to 9, pay $99 to enter the Magic Kingdom, compared to $94 last year. Prices also increased for the other Disney World theme parks -- EPCOT, the Animal Kingdom Park and Hollywood Studios -- to $97 for visitors aged 10 and older, compared to $94 last year. Children aged 3 to 10 now pay $91 for a single-day ticket to those parks, compared to $88 last year. The price hikes seem to be working for parent company Walt Disney World Resorts, which reported a 7% increase in revenue year-over-year, largely from its parks. "Increased guest spending was primarily due to higher average ticket prices for admissions at our theme parks," Walt Disney Company (DIS) said in a financial report. A Disney spokeswoman said the "vast majority" of visitors buy the multi-day passes, which can knock the price down to $96 per day for a two-day ticket, or $63 per day for a five-day ticket. She also said that a ticket for a single day at Walt Disney World buys 16 hours of entertainment.

1. What is the price of a one-day ticket to the Magic Kingdom?

2. Given the income elasticity of demand how do we know if a trip to Disney World is a normal good or an inferior good?

3. The news article tells us that with ticket prices rising, revenue is increasing. What does this tell us about the price elasticity of demand of a trip to Disney World?

Marketing assignment

The Inn at Prescott Ranch is a small, boutique hotel located in Prescott, Arizona. It opened in 1998. The Inn has identified the main competition as the Prescott Resort, owned and operated by the Yavapai Nation, and the Hassayampa Inn, a historic hotel in downtown Prescott, adjacent to Whiskey Row.

The Inn has 65 rooms on two floors—each with a private balcony. The nightly room rates are the highest in Prescott. The Inn offers a full array of amenities—both in the public areas and in the rooms. The Inn offers complimentary van service to the Gateway Mall, Bucky’s Casino, and Whiskey Row; and valet parking services with covered parking. There is nightly entertainment in the lobby. In-room amenities include high-thread-count linens; terry robes; organic soaps and toiletries; flat-screen TVs with DVD players; and Bose® stereo systems.

The Inn maintains a full bar and has an agreement with Wildflower Bakery to provide daily continental breakfast for an additional charge to nightly rates or included in the Bed & Breakfast Special. Boxed lunches may also be pre-ordered from Wildflower Bakery. The Inn is not “flagged” or branded. The management is highly involved in local organizations. There is an existing contract with Yavapai College for sponsorship of its performing arts series with Paramount Studies for a project being filmed in the Prescott area. In addition, the Inn at Prescott Ranch has been featured on Arizona Highways TV, Arizona Highways magazine, and in the Arizona Republic travel section. The Inn also participates in the local chamber of commerce and tourism promotional efforts for the Prescott area.

Management is looking for a marketing plan for 2011.

Questions:

1. If you were preparing a marketing plan for this hotel, how would you describe the company, its positioning strategy, and its value proposition?

2. What do you want to know about the market—demographics and psychographics?

3. Describe each of the 4Ps.

4. Without doing further research, who is the perceived target market?

5. Does the hotel have a brand image? If so, define.
