Mr. Thompson is considering investing in two period projects with the following probabilities and cash flows:

	Probability	Cash Flow
Period 1	.25	1000
	.50	1200
	.25	1400
Period 2	.30	600
	.50	1000
	.20	1400

The discount rate is 7%, and the initial investment is $2,000. How much is the expected NPV of this project? Should Mr. Thompson invest or not? Briefly explain your reasoning.

The Paper Cup Company has estimated the following revenue possibilities for the year.

Sales	Probability
1000	0.15
1500	0.20
2200	0.30
2900	0.20
3900	0.15

1. Find the expected revenue.
2. Find the standard deviation.
3. Find the coefficient of variation.
4. Which of the two measures above (a. or b.) is a better measure of risk when comparing projects with different NPV?

The purpose of the Atlantic Computer case is to introduce students to the following commonly used approaches to determining price: (a) status-quo pricing, (b) comparative framing (or competition-based) pricing, (c) cost-plus pricing, and (d) value-based pricing. You are also asked to consider the reactions of competitors, customers, and internal stakeholders (e.g., salespeople) to different pricing approaches. After working on this case, you should have a firm grasp of basic pricing approaches and an appreciation for the many moving parts to be considered when setting price for a new product. 

Please consider the following questions in preparing your class discussion.

1. What price should Jowers charge DayTraderJournal.com for the Atlantic Bundle (i.e., Tronn servers+PESA software tool)? do a Excel form！

2. Think broadly about the top-line revenue implications from each of the four alternative pricing strategies. Approximately how much money over the next three years will be “left on the table” if the firm were to give away the software tool away for free (i.e., status quo pricing) versus utilizing one of the other pricing approaches?

3. How is Matzer likely to react to your recommendations?

4. How is Cadena’s sales force likely to react to your recommendation?

5. What can Jowers recommend to get Cadena’s hardware-oriented sales force to understand and sell the value of the PESA software effectively?

6. How are customers in the firm’s target market likely to react to your recommended pricing strategy? What response can be provided to overcome any objections?

7. How is Ontario Zink’s senior management team likely to react to the Atlantic bundle?

To maximize profit, a price taker will expand its output as long as the sale of additional units adds more to revenues (marginal revenues) than to costs (marginal costs).  Therefore, the profit-maximizing price taker will produce the output level at which marginal revenue (and price) equals marginal cost.

In a price-taker market, if a business produces efficiently (i.e., that is, where marginal revenues = marginal costs), the firm will be able to make at least a normal profit.  True of False.  Explain.

All firms produce where MR=MC.  Price takers produce and price where P=ATC=MC=MR.  That is the “normal profit” level.  Profits above that level are considered “economic profits.”  Review economic profits, normal profits, explicit costs, and implicit costs.
