A port operator would like to optimize port operation by adjusting docking fee (P). In doing so, the operator considers two objectives. The first objective is to increase total revenues and hence maximize gross revenues. The second objective is to maximize profits. Currently, P is set at $2000 per million tons of freight loaded (or unloaded), and the volume of freight is 2 million tons per week. The operator feels that demand is sensitive to both the docking fee charged and the process time for loading/unloading, and has estimated the following demand function: 

V=20−4t−0.004????

W here, V = demand or volume in million tons per week 

       t = loading/unloading time (in days) 

(a) If service time t is currently constant at 2 days, what docking fee should the port operator charge to maximize total revenues? What is the corresponding level of demand and net change in revenue? 

(b) After careful analysis of port performance, it is estimated that service time is given by the following function: t=1.2+0.6V

Assuming that the system will adjust to a new equilibrium after any change in P, find the value of P that maximizes total revenues. Is this higher or lower than the optimum docking fee found in Part (a)? 

(c) Suppose that total costs depend only on demand, and is estimated as follows: C=12,000+1,000V

What docking fee should the port operator charge to maximize profits considering the process time function from Part (b)?

PLEASE I NEED HELP WITH JUST NUMBER 3 AND 4 ON HOW TO PLOT THE GRAPH

Case Study Fixed and Variable Cost Behavior HiLine, Ltd. is a manufacturing facilities where keeping a clean working environment is important to them. The maintenance department has the responsibility for cleaning the plant. Two of the resources needed to clean the plant are labor and cleaning supplies. The cost driver for both resources is square feet cleaned. Plant cleaning laborers are paid the same wages regardless of the number of times the plant is cleaned. Cleaning supplies is a variable cost. The 38,000 square foot plant is thoroughly cleaned from four to eight times a month depending on the level and stage of production. For the most recent month, July, the plant was cleaned four times. The July cost of labor was $11,750 and cleaning supplies used cost $8,450. The production schedule for the next quarter (August through October) indicates that the plant will need to be cleaned five, six, and eight times respectively In Excel 1. Prepare a table that shows how labor cost, cleaning supplies cost, total cost, and total cost per square feet cleaned changes in response to the square feet cleaned. What is the predicted total cost of plant cleaning for the next quarter? 2. Suppose HiLine can hire an outside cleaning company to clean the plant as needed. The charge rate for cleaning is $3,850 per plant cleaning. If the outside cleaning company is hired, HiLine can lay off the workers who are now cleaning the plant and will spend nothing for cleaning supplies. Will HiLine save money with the outside cleaning company over the next quarter? Explain. Prepare a schedule that supports your answer. 3. Create a line chart that reflects the Total Cleaning Costs and Square Feet (Times Cleaned) for the two options (HiLine vs Outside Company). Must be properly labeled and on one chart. 4. At what level of activity (SqFt Cleaned) will the two options be indifferent?.plot a graph to show this also.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Marketing is the major factor in the success in any business. True or false. It needs to be at least 750 words.

This paper seeks to discuss some of the key aspects that marketing a determining factor for the success of any business.

One of the major merits of marketing is to inform the potential customers about a particular product or service. A business that wants to be known by the communities and more customers must employ marketing strategies as a way of informing the customers about a new brand. Without conducting effective marketing, potential customers may not be aware of ones business leave alone the products and services being provided. Thus prospective customers can know about new or existing business by use of marketing and promotion (Hochbaum 37). Customers are communicated to through the use of advertising for example through television, magazines, internet, bill boards as well as promotional methods such as competitions and road side shows.

Another importance of marketing is that once the business owner informs his or her potential customers about the products and services being provided by the business, there is a high probability of the consumers making a purchase. After the potential customers becomes aware of the products they are also in a position to make word of mouth marketing that involves telling their families and friends about the benefits of a new products that that have purchased from the business (Kotler and Philip 24). As a result, the business will experience high sales and sustainable profitability that is essential for the expansion of the company operations. It is vital to note that without use of marketing strategies it would be possible to achieve such high sales.

Solid reputation leads to the success of a business. As a major responsibility, marketing assists in building the image of a business. When a business is involved in marketing strategies for example through corporate social responsibilities such
