You’ve had a good run as manager for a leading brand of leave-in conditioner. The product performs better than competition in taming frizzy hair, and has long commanded a premium price based on an attribute-based positioning. But now you’re nervous. There’s been a gradual but steady decline in sales over the past three quarters. Denise, a new member on the marketing research team, has presented you with information that suggests two possible causes. - First, beauty magazines and salon publications wrote repeatedly last year about a shift to free-flowing, natural styles. These styles work best with products that don’t leave residue on hair. You know that secondary data isn’t always ideal, but these stories were consistent and voluminous. - Second, recent focus groups run by Denise complained that your price is too high. Like all focus groups, these included only a small number of people, but the participants were loyal customers. Neither source is perfect, and the information you have is far from conclusive. But there’s nothing else to go on for now. Top management is under pressure from investors and anxious to take action, but wants to make sure the company is set up for long-term success. You can’t effectively address both issues at once, so you must decide which one is more likely to be causing the sales decrease.
A) Styling change.
B) Price.

You are considering two different methods for constructing a new warehouse site. The first method would use prefabricated building segments, would have an initial cost of $6.5 million, would have annual maintenance costs of $150,000, and would last for 25 years. The second alternative would employ a new carbon-fibre panel technology, would have an initial cost of $8.2 million, would have maintenance costs of $650,000 every ten years, and is expected to last 40 years. Both buildings would be in CCA Class 1 (at a rate of 4 percent) and it is expected that each would have a salvage value equivalent to 25 percent of its construction cost at the end of its useful life. The discount rate the firm uses in evaluating projects is 11 percent. The tax rate is 35 percent. What is the annual cost for each option? (Enter the answers in dollars. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the final answers to 2 decimal places. Negative answers should be indicated by a minus sign.)

If, at the present output level, marginal revenue is $50 and marginal cost is $35, the purely competitive firm Group of answer choices should increase output to maximize its profit or minimize its loss. should reduce output to maximize its profit or minimize its loss. should increase its price to maximize its profit or minimize its loss. should stay at its current output to maximize its profit or minimize its loss.
