ECO404 - Managerial Economics- Graded Discussion Board (GDB)-1, Fall 2014 Solution & Discussion


The Case:

SUBWAY is a prominent American fast food restaurant franchise that mainly sells submarine sandwiches and salads. It was established in 1965 in Bridgeport (United States). It has 42,859 restaurants in 108 countries and territories as of October 23, 2014. It has stores not only in Pakistan but also in United States. Its international headquarters is in Milford, Connecticut. SUBWAY restaurants have massive business at lunchtime, but it was observed that the meals which were offered on promotional price at the time of breakfast and dinner made substantial profit contribution.

Requirement:

Does the success of SUBWAY restaurants in this regard reflect an effective application of the marginal profit concept or the incremental profit concept? Explain.
