Article- Disney Takes A Gamble On Price Elasticity With Mulan

In Unit 7, we talked about firms’ ability to set price depending on the price elasticity of demand, which in turn can be influenced by a number of factors such as availability of substitutes, consumers’ tastes and preferences, and so on.

You might have heard about Disney’s recent release of Mulan on its streaming platform Disney+.

Post 1. What are the justifications for Disney to set the price for streaming of the movie at $30 on top of the Disney+ subscription fee $7? Explain in 50-100 words.

Post 2. Do you think the price elasticity of demand for Mulan is elastic or inelastic? Discuss in 100-150 word

The Sampson Company is considering a project that requires an initial outlay of $75,000 and produces cash inflows of $20,806 each year for five years. Sampson’s cost of capital is 10%.

a. Calculate the project’s payback period by making a single division rather than accumulating cash inflows. Why is this possible in this case?

b. Calculate the project’s IRR, recognizing the fact that the cash inflows are an annuity. Is the project acceptable? Did your calculation in this part result in any number(s) that were also calculated in part (a)? What is it about this problem that creates this similarity? Will this always happen in such cases?

c. What is the project’s NPV? Is the project acceptable according to NPV rules?

Python: Devising a secret code that maps 'one' to 'two'. We send 'o' to 't', 'n' to 'w' and 'e' to 'o'.

Can't find any code that sends 'five' to 'ten', as the words have different length.

Can't find a code that sends 'foo' to 'bar', as we would need 'o' to represent 'a' and 'r'.

Likewise we cannot send 'four' to 'aaaa', as there would be no way to map the letters back.

How would I write this Boolean function?

Write a Boolean function secret_code() that decides if we can find a code that sends one word to another and back again.

    def secret_code(word1: str, word2: str) -> bool:

Create a schedule for the following data that starts June 1^st 2016. Assume that one can work 7 days a week and 30 days a month.   

a. Show a Gantt chart for the schedule. Make sure that the chart shows the time scale on quarterly basis.

b. Make sure that the chart shows the critical path. Create the chart and copy the chart into the word document (do not provide your project management files)

Java Code.

Using Decorator pattern make class BurgerToppings:

-Each topping is an extra $1 and the name provided in the constructor

-getTotalPrice: returns total price of burger + toppings

-getDetails: returns the burger name + name of topping with the word (extra)

Code:

public interface Burger{
    double C();
    String getDetails();
}

public class BigMac implements Burger{
    private String order;
    private double price ;

    public BigMac() {
        this.order= "Big Mac";
        this.price = 4.00;
    }

    @Override
    public double getPrice() {
        return price;
    }

    @Override
    public String getorder() {
        return name;
    }
}

Output expected:

Ordering BigMac + extra pickles+ extra cheese
Total price = 6.0

You want to reduce text communication with your corrupt friends in Wall Street. You suggest
using Huffman coding to reduce the number of bits in communication.
You look over your previous 100 words of texts. You find the following words and their number
of occurrence in parenthesis: SELL (12), BUY (8), MOVE (19), HIDE (42), STOP (2) and WATCH
(17). This frequency is consistent over all your messages.

(a) What codewords do you recommend for each word?

(b) Whit these codewords, how many bits of communication do you need when texting 100
words compared to a fixed-length code?

Utilize a machine learning algorithm to create a prediction. K-nearest neighbors is recommended as an introductory algorithm. Your algorithm should read in the dataset, segmenting the data with 70% used for training and 30% used for testing. Illustrate the results as output.

Create a Microsoft Word document that describes how this algorithm could be used to predict new records that are generated. This is often called scoring new records

Making decisions on what to do can be difficult if there are many options and different requirements (criteria) that affect the decision. A practical way to help make decisions that involve selecting the best option from many based on how well each option satisfies each criterion is an “advanced prioritization matrix”. Using an example of purchasing a new car, television, cell phone, computer or any other item, construct an “advanced prioritization matrix” showing all options, multiple criteria, weight of each criteria and your scoring for each options against each criterion and the total score for each option. Use the table format in Word or Excel spreadsheet to demonstrate your example.
