Assume that you’ve owned and operated a very successful elite seafood restaurant in a rather small strip mall for several years. A Red Lobster chain seafood restaurant is just about to open across the street from you in another strip mall. Explain how this may affect your total revenue, marginal revenue, marginal cost, and total cost. In other words what, if any, changes would you have to make to what, how, and how much you produce to remain competitive

Topic: CONDUCTING MARKETING RESEARCH AND FORECASTING DEMAND Suppose the annual plan called for selling 34,000 widgets in the first quarter at $2 per widget, for total revenue of $68,000. At quarter's end, only 30,000 widgets were sold at $1.80 per widget, for total revenue of $54,000. Based on the Sales-variance analysis, how much of the sales performance is due to the price decline and how much to the volume decline? Note: Sales-variance analysis measures the relative contribution of different factors to a gap in sales performance.

A Malaysian firm has to choose between two new machines.
Machine A would cost $80,000 and is expected to have an economic life of four years. It should generate $50,000 of revenue each year, and incur costs of $22,000 a year.
Machine B will cost $100,000 and is expected to have an economic life of five years. It is anticipated that it will produce annual revenue of $51,000 and attract costs of
$22,000 a year.
If the firm requires a return of 10% on their investment and the company tax rate is 30%, which machine should be chosen?
