Intel Is Ready to Introduce Its New Microprocessor

question 118

Multiple Choice

Intel is ready to introduce its new microprocessor.In chip manufacturing,as more chips are produced,production yields rise.Thus,Intel can choose between a below-cost pricing strategy (upper branch) to reach the higher-yield zone more quickly,or an above-cost pricing strategy (lower branch) and move to the higher-yield zone more slowly.AMD will introduce its new microprocessor two months after Intel,and faces the same below-cost (upper branch) and above-cost (lower branch) strategies.Writing out the outcomes on the decision tree might prove helpful as you answer the following questions.
-Refer to the decision tree above.Point Z represents AMD choosing

• A) between above-or below-cost pricing.
• B) between above-or below-cost pricing,given Intel picked below-cost pricing.
• C) below-cost pricing.
• D) below-cost pricing,given Intel picked below-cost pricing.
• E) between above-or below-cost pricing,given Intel picked above-cost pricing.
