A new American graduate is contemplating buying a Japanese, German, or an American car. No matter the type of car, he plans to buy a new one at the end of 8 years.
Japanese car will cost $40,000 and have a fuel usage of 23 Miles Per gallon (mpg) for the first 2 years, and will decrease by 3% per year thereafter. Repair cost will start at $700 per year, and increase by 3% per year. At the end of year 8, the car can be sold for $6000. Insurance cost will be $700 for the first year, increasing by 3% per year thereafter.
A German car will cost $45,000 and have fuel usage of 21mpg for the first 5 years, and decrease by 1% thereafter to year 8. Repair cost will start at $1000 in year 1 and increase by 4% per year. It will have a salvage value of $7000 at the end of year 8. Insurance cost will be $850 the first year, increasing by 3% per year thereafter.
The American car will cost $35,000 and have fuel usage of 20mpg for the first 3 years, and will decrease by 3% per year thereafter. Repair cost will be $750 in year 1, increasing by 4% per year thereafter. Being an American, the graduate will price the pride of owning an American car at $0.4 for every 20 miles driven, increasing by 2% per year. Insurance cost will be $800 per year increasing by 2% per year. The car can be sold for $5500 at the end of year 8.
If the graduate anticipates driving 160000 miles by the end of year 8 and the average interest rate is expected to remain at 8% per year, which car is economically affordable based on present worth analysis? Assume fuel cost will be $4 per gallon in year 1 and increase by an average of 3% per year. Show all your workings.

Bardi Trucking Co., located in Cleveland, Ohio, makes deliveries in the Great Lakes region, the Southeast, and the Northeast. Jim Bardi, the president, is studying the relationship between the distance a shipment must travel and the length of time, in days, it takes the shipment to arrive at its destination. To investigate, Mr. Bardi selected a random sample of 20 shipments made last month. Shipping distance is the independent variable and shipping time is the dependent variable. The results are as follows:

Shipment Distance (miles) Shipping Time (days) Shipment Distance (miles) Shipping Time (days)
1 782 14 11 609 10
2 724 15 12 855 10
3 616 15 13 687 9

8 831 14 18 789 7
9 649 6 19 744 5
10 824 6 20 706 5

5. When consumer demand for hotel rooms increases, the average selling prices for those rooms typically increase as well. In the foodservice business that has not historically been the case. Fluctuations in consumer demand (e.g., volume differences between high demand Saturday nights and lower­volume Sunday nights) in restaurants do not typically result in menu price changes. Given that both hotels and restaurants are part of the hospitality industry, how do you account for these fundamental differences in approach toward strategic pricing? As a customer, which approach do you believe sends you the better value message? Explain your position.

Tesco plc wants to expand but foresees little exponential growth in its current retail activities. The company has, therefore, decided to utilise their ability to raise funds and their cash generation ability to organically expand into the hotel industry. Tesco feels that the market is open to a new participant and that companies such as Intercontinental Hotels Group plc are not ready for a vibrant new competitor. Tesco could expand by undertaking ‘organic’ growth orcould undertake the indicated growth by acquisition. You are required to provide a critical analysis of the relative benefits of the two types of growth (i.e. ‘organic’ and acquisition) from Tesco’s point of view, with regard to the proposed expansion.

Edgewater Motels, Inc v Gatzke and Walgreen Company: Gatzke worked as a district manager for Walgreens....

Edgewater Motels, Inc v Gatzke and Walgreen Company: Gatzke worked as a district manager for Walgreens. He was staying at the Edgewater Motel while he was working in Minnesota “on call 24 hours a day" for Walgreens. A fire occurred in his hotel room from a lit cigarette he dropped into the waste paper basket. The fire caused massive damage and Edgewater sued both Gatzke and Walgreens. Both were found liable for the damages.

Why do you think Walgreens would be responsible for the action of Gatzke. Was he still working when the fire took place? Can you make an argument that Walgreens is not liable?
