BestBuy plans to have an end of the season sale on videogames and High Definition TVs. After a focus group study, their marketing team found that they have four different types of customers, each with their own respective reservation price. The reservation prices are as listed below:
|
Customer |
TV |
Videogame |
|
A |
$1000 |
$500 |
|
B |
$800 |
$450 |
|
C |
$600 |
$375 |
|
D |
$500 |
$300 |
For simplicity, assume that the marginal cost for producing any of these products is $0, and there is only one representative customer of each type.
(a) If BestBuy were to sell TV and videogames separately, what price should it set for each product in order to maximize its profit?
(b) BestBuy paid an outside consulting firm about its marketing strategy. The consultant recommended that BestBuy bundle TV and videogame as a package rather than selling them separately. Is the consultant correct? Why or why not? What is the profit of pure bundling? Is it higher or lower compared with the separate selling scenario in (A)? Are customers’ reservation prices of TV and videogames negatively or positively correlated?
(c) Suppose BestBuy has perfect information about the reservation price of each customer. It adopts a first-degree (perfect) price discrimination policy. What prices should it charge to maximize profit? What is the profit under this strategy? Is this higher than the profit in (a) or (b)?

Write a method called "twoStacksAreEqual" that takes as parameters two stacks of integers and returns true if the two stacks are equal and that returns false otherwise. To be considered equal, the two stacks would have to store the same sequence of integer values in the same order. Your method is to examine the two stacks but must return them to their original state before terminating. You may use one stack as auxiliary storage.

Suppose a potential biological control agent was found to attack an indigenous Drosophila species in California, in quarantine laboratory screening work. The US Fish and Wildlife Service oppose release of the biocontrol agent because of this, suggesting that the risks are too great in terms of impacting an endemic species. What risk assessment options could you employ in further work to determine whether the biocontrol agent is safe to release? How would you explain the measurement of risk to the FWS and the public in general?

A partnership is considering possible liquidation because one of the partners (Bell) is personally insolvent. Profits and losses are divided on a 4:3:2:1 basis, respectively. Capital balances at the current time are
| Bell, capital | $ | 55,000 |
| Hardy, capital | 58,000 | |
| Dennard, capital | 15,000 | |
| Suddath, capital | 82,000 | |
Bell’s creditors have filed a $23,000 claim against the partnership’s assets. The partnership currently holds assets of $320,000 and liabilities of $110,000. If the assets can be sold for $200,000, what is the minimum amount that Bell’s creditors would receive?

A fisherman and his young nephew are in a boat on a small pond. Both are wearing life jackets. The nephew is holding a large floating helium filled balloon by a string. Consider each action below independently, and indicate whether the level of the water in the pond R-Rises, F-Falls, S-Stays the Same, C-Can't tell. (If in the first the level Rises, and in the second it Falls, and for the rest one Cannot tell, enter RFCCC)
A) The fisherman lowers himself in the water and floats on his
back
B) The fisherman fills a glass with water from the pond and drinks
it.
C) The nephew gets in the water, looses his grip on the string,
letting the balloon escape upwards.
D) The fisherman knocks the tackle box overboard and it sinks to
the bottom.
E) The nephew pops the balloon.
Hint: Think "Archimedes Principle". How does the volume of fluid displaced by a body which `floats' differ from that for a body which sinks?
