Solution – Division A

Explanation:

Last year's data shows that Division A contributed 60% of total revenue.

Let total revenue for the company last year be x.

Therefore, Division A earned 0.6x.

Similarly, Division B generated 40% of total revenue last year.

This means Division B’s income was 0.4x.

For the current year, Division A’s earnings have dropped by 35%.

Since last year was 0.6x, the amount lost is 35% of 0.6x.

So this year’s revenue: 0.6x - 0.35(0.6x) = (1 - 0.35) * 0.6x = 0.65 * 0.6x = 0.39x.

Division B’s revenue declined by 5% this year.

Last year’s revenue was 0.4x, so this year it is 0.4x - 0.05(0.4x) = 0.95 * 0.4x = 0.38x.

Comparing both, Division A’s revenue (0.39x) exceeds Division B’s (0.38x) this year.

A) he is unable to identify the proper problem

B) he neglects to assign numerical values to various criteria

C) he resolves the issue ineffectively

D) he does not correctly identify the procedure steps

Response:

A. He fails to identify the proper problem.

Clarification:

In option B, assigning numerical values to decision criteria could assist in the decision-making process, yet it's not essential for achieving a successful outcome.

Regarding option C, solving a problem ineffectively is not optimal, but it does hold some value.

As for option D, recognizing the procedure's steps doesn't significantly impact the success of the process.

This directs us to option A as the correct response; addressing a problem is futile if it's the incorrect one. Resolving an erroneous problem yields no benefit for the organization.

Answer:

c) Providing a discount for students and seniors.

Explanation:

Price discrimination occurs when a seller charges different prices for the same product to varying customers. It is typically employed to capitalize on consumer surplus.

When a chocolatier identifies a buyer group willing to pay less, they can focus on this demographic and provide them with a lower payment option.

In this scenario, offering discounts to students and seniors indicates that the chocolatier has recognized these groups as customers likely to purchase chocolates for less than $20.
