Task 2:



Activity #6


DUE: Thursday

1. You are an economist for a U.S. Manufacturer, who is considering expanding sales into Europe. Your market research has identified the market potential in France, Italy, and Spain as described next:

Success Level               
 France                                 Italy                                          Spain

                        Probability        Units                 Probability        Units                 Probability        Units

Big                   0.3                   1,000,000         0.4                   900,000             0.4                   700,000

Mediocre         0.3                   600,000            0.4                   700,000             0.3                   300,000

Failure             0.4                     0                     0.2                     0                      0.3                       0

 

The product sells for $12 and has unit costs of $10.  If you can enter only one market, and the cost of entering the market (regardless of which market you select) is $300,000, should you enter one of these markets? If so, which one? If you enter, what is your expected profit?

2. A reserve price is a minimum price set by the auctioneer. If no bidder is willing to pay the reserve price, the item is unsold at a profit of $0 for the auctioneer. If only one bidder values the item at or above the reserve price, that bidder pays the reserve price. An auctioneer faces two bidders, each with a value of either $30 or $80, with both values equally probable. What reserve price should the auctioneer set, and what is the expected revenue from auctioning the item with and without a reserve price? Consider the problem above, but now each bidder has a value of either $60 or $80. What reserve price should the auctioneer set, and what is the expected revenue from auctioning the item with and without a reserve price?
