You operate your own small building company and have decided to bid on a government contract to build a pedestrian walkway in a national park during the coming winter. The walkway is to be of standard government design and should involve no unexpected costs. Your present capacity utilization rate is moderate and allows sufficient scope to understand this contract, if you win it. You calculate your incremental costs to be $268,000 and your fully allocated costs to be $440,000. Your usual practice is to add between 60% and 80% to your incremental costs, depending on capacity utilization rate and other factors. You expect three other firms to also bid on this contract, and you have assembled the following competitor intelligence about those companies.

Show all of your calculations and processes. Describe your answers in three- to five-complete sentences.

A.) What price would you bid if you must win the project?

1. Alicia is the owner-operator of Cool Beans, a local coffee shop. For the past year, Cool Beans sold 215,000 drinks at an average price of $2.95 per serving. Her average variable cost per serving was $1.15. Currently, she has been using local TV and newspapers to generate interest and awareness at a cost of $171,000 per year. She recently contacted Brushfire Social Media and they estimated they could reach the same number of people in her community with a social media budget at half the cost, though it would require an additional one-time investment of $14,000 in their website and social platforms. As an additional option, Brushfire suggested a separate promotional campaign that would offer a $1 discount to any person who likes their social media page. Brushfire estimates that Cool Beans would sell an additional 5,900 cups with this discount and this new campaign would cost $2,500.

1. What is the Marketing ROI for the Brushfire website and social media plan compared to their current approach? ___ %

An excellent free throw percentage would be something around 90%. That is, such a basketball player would make 90% of the free throws (foul shots) they took. If the player is given 6 chances to take a free throw shot in a game.

(a) Calculate the probability that this type of player makes all 6 of their free throw shots.

(b) Calculate the probability that this type of player misses all 6 of their free throw shots.

(c) Calculate the probability that this type of player makes at least half of their 6 free throw shots.

The table shows the estimated percentage P of the population of a certain country that are mobile-phone subscribers. (End of year estimates are given.)

(a) Find the average rate of change of P.

(i) From 2003 to 2007 ........................... percentage points per year

(ii) From 2003 to 2005 ............................. percentage points per year

(iii) From 2001 to 2003 ............................... percentage points per year

(b) Estimate the instantaneous rate of growth in 2003 by taking the average of two average rates of change. (Use the average rates of change for 2001 to 2003 and 2003 to 2005.)
........................... percentage points per year

(c) Estimate the instantaneous rate of growth in 2003 by sketching a graph of P and measuring the slope of a tangent. (Sketch your graph so that it is a smooth curve through the points, and so that the tangent line has an x-intercept of 1999.3 and passing through the point

(2006, 46.6).

Round your answer to two decimal places.)
.................................... percentage points per year
