You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: penguin patties, raskels, and kipples. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods. Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of penguin patties decreases by 5%, the quantity of raskels sold decreases by 4% and the quantity of kipples sold increases by 6%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between penguin patties and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together.

Complete the first column of the following table by computing the cross-price elasticity between penguin patties and raskels, and then between penguin patties and kipples. In the second column, determine if penguin patties are a complement to or a substitute for each of the goods listed. Finally, complete the final column by indicating which good you should recommend marketing with penguin patties.

You are trying to pick the least-expensive car for your new delivery service. You have two choices: the Scion xA, which will cost $22,500 to purchase and which will have OCF of −$2,900 annually throughout the vehicle’s expected life of three years as a delivery vehicle; and the Toyota Prius, which will cost $31,000 to purchase and which will have OCF of −$1,500 annually throughout that vehicle’s expected 4-year life.

MJ Logistics has decided to build a new warehouse to support its supply chain activities. They have the option of building either a large warehouse or a small one. Construction costs for the large facility are $15 million versus $5 million for the small facility. The present value of the after tax profit (excluding construction costs) over the expected life of the warehouses depends on the volume of demand. In the large warehouse, if there is high demand, the company will make $35 million, and if there is low demand, the company will make $20 million. In the small warehouse, if there is high demand, the company will make $15 million, and if there is low demand, the company will make $ 9 million. The probability of high demand has been estimated to be 40% by the VP of Marketing for MJ Logistics. This estimate holds true regardless of whether a large or small warehouse is built.Construct a decision tree reflecting the components of the decision facing MJ Logistics. Be sure to clearly state the decision MJ Logistics should make as a risk-neutral company.
