Answer 1: (B) The cost of launching the product = 50 crores
The probability of the success of the product is 50%.
Hence, the profit = (50 % of 100 + 50% of 20) – 50 = 10 crores.
Now, Roy and Agrawal were in a quandary whether the company should go ahead and market the drug. They contacted Raj Adhikar, a common friend for advice. Adhikar was of the opinion that given the risky nature of launch, it may be a better idea to test the market. Agrawal and Roy realized test marketing would cost 10 crores. Adhikar told them the previous test marketing results have been favorable 70% of times and success rate of products favorably tested was 80%. Further, when test marketing results were unfavorable/the products have been successful 30% of the times. The correct option is (B)
Answer 2: (E) Required profit = (30% of 100 + 70% of 20) – (50 + 10) = –16 crores.
The correct option is (E)
Answer 3: (E) The success rate of a product if its results are favorable = 80%
Total cost = 50 + 10 = 60 crores
Sales = 80% of 100 + 20% of 20 = 84 crore
Hence, the profit = 84 – 60 = 24 crores.
The correct option is (E)
Answer 4: (B) Required probability = 0.70 × 0.20 + 0.30 × 0.70 = 0.14 + 0.21 =0.35
The correct option is (B)
