You are the manager of a company that sells iPhone cases. The costs of producing the cases are given by C = 200 + 20Q (or the fixed costs are $200 and the variable costs are $20 per case). The demand for the cases is given by QD = 180 – 5P.

a) What is the firm’s optimal quantity and price?

b) What is the firm’s profit at the optimal quantity and price?

c) If the fixed costs decrease from $200 to $100, what is the new optimal price and quantity? What is the firm’s new profit?

A distributor of computer parts purchases a specific component from a supplier in lots of 1000 units. The cost of purchasing a lot is $30,000. The supplier is known to supply imperfect lots. In other words, a lot received by the distributor may contain defective units. Historical data suggest that the proportion of defective units in a lot supplied by this supplier follows the following probability distribution:

The distributor inspects the entire lot for defective units before selling the units to PC repair shops at a price of $45 per unit. The inspection process is error-proof so all defective units in a lot are detected and replaced by the distributor. It costs $20 for the distributor to replace a defective unit. The distributor has recently learned that the supplier offers a guarantee policy through which the supplier will assume the cost of replacing defective units in excess of the first 100 faulty units found in a given lot at no cost. [This means that the first 100 defective units found in a lot are replaced by the distributor for $20 per unit; however, all additional defective unit (if any) found in a lot are replaced by the supplier at no cost to the distributor.] This guarantee policy may be purchased by the distributor prior to the receipt of a given lot at a cost of $1000 per lot. The distributor wants to determine whether it is worthwhile to purchase the supplier’s guarantee policy.

QUESTION TO BE ANSWERED:

Perform sensitivity analysis: Perform a one-way sensitivity analysis using PrecisionTree ® on the optimal decision by letting the cost of replacing a defective unit vary from $10 to $30 in 11 steps and the cost of purchasing the supplier's guarantee policy vary from $400 to $1600 in 7 steps. Comment on your findings.

1a) Suppose your company is faced with the following demand curve: Q^D = 600 – 100 P. The price elasticity of demand, E^D , at a price of $5 equals _____, and the price elasticity of demand, E^D, at a price of $1 equals _____

1b) Assume that the demand equation for exercise watches, such as the Fitbit, is Q^D = 2,200 – 15 P and the supply equation is Q^S = 15 P – 800. After a favorable study shows that using exercise watches significantly reduces users' weights, quantity demanded increases by 300 at every price. The new equilibrium price will be _____ and the new equilibrium quantity will be ____

1c)In the market for oranges, we observe that the equilibrium price increased and the equilibrium quantity increased. What could have caused this change?

Dr. Sam Wise, medical director at San Diego Valley Hospital, has just conducted a meeting in which he informed those in attendance of an acute outbreak of Zika virus. In the past 36 hours, two men and one woman, completely unrelated to one another, have presented to Valley’s ER with the symptoms of Zika virus. Their only commonality is that they all live within an area of 17 square miles.

Patient 1, Stevie, is a 24-year-old graduate student at San Diego State University. He is not in a relationship and has had no sexual contact in more than three months. He has not traveled out of the greater San Diego area in the past five months, and he has never left the west coast of the United States.

Patient 2, Tiffany, is a 31-year-old marketing executive. She is married with two children, ages 3 and 4. Tiffany was in Seattle for a weekend, two weeks ago, but she has, otherwise, not left San Diego in more than six months. Her husband and children have not left San Diego in more than a year. Tiffany’s husband and her children exhibit no symptoms of Zika.

Patient 3, Enrique, is a 39-year-old carpenter. He owns his own business, which has him traveling all over the region, within a 100-mile radius of San Diego. However, he has never traveled any farther than that. Enrique is married with four children, aged between 3 and 8 years of age. No one in Enrique’s family has exhibited any Zika symptoms.

Because all of the children are too young to date, and there are no extramarital behaviors in either Tiffany’s or Enrique’s relationships, the possibility of others being infected through sexual intercourse is eliminated. As well, none of the infected parties have traveled to a high risk area.

As the director of community relations at San Diego Valley Hospital, Dr. Wise has charged you with the task of writing an article to be released to the public through the local newspaper. Dr. Wise has charged you with informing the public of a potential Zika outbreak. Your article must include a discussion of the epidemiological triangle, modes of transmission, symptoms of Zika, high-risk populations, associated morbidities, known vaccines, prevention measures, etc. Your article must be written in a lay fashion. In order to assist you in writing the article, the hospital’s epidemiologist has provided you with these CDC-supported resources.
