b) The (price) In (a) acts as an intermediate; that is, the addition or reduction of (price) does
not affect the overall formula but can change the formula, just as the catalyst in chemistry can
change the overall reaction when it is added to the chemical reaction but does not participate
the other aspects of the supply chain. Retail prices can play a key role in determining supply
chain efficiency and consumer surplus. For example, The lower the retail price, the higher the
speed and large and unified orders. Responsive needs a slower speed, and sometimes it also
requires customized orders. When Responsiveness is higher if the customer value remains the
same and the cost is higher, and the price will be higher which means the customer surplus is
lower in the same way the supply chain profits will not change, the supply chain surplus will
be lower.
(2) According to the frontier, we can get a higher surplus if we keep trade-offs.

c) I want to recommend Amazon’s supply chain strategy; Amazon’s fast delivery
responsiveness is quick because almost every product and status can choose multiple delivery
options. For example, a $ 15-bed pillow from San Francisco would cost $5 and be delivered
within 4-5 days. When the order cost exceeds $25, delivery is free, but it takes 5-8 days to
receive. And Amazon can customize special cargo transportation for customers, such as
overseas transportation; Amazon provides a very convenient service. When customers spend a
certain amount of money to subscribe to the plan, the fast delivery service will quickly deliver
the goods to customers. Suppose customers do not subscribe to the plan. In that case, they
must pay high freight, which makes customers stick to Amazon very high and provides the
company with a stable capital flow to maintain fast delivery, which makes it highly efficient

3.2)When a product does not have a mature supply chain system, the response at this time is
ten yuan, which means that it is located at the lower part of the frontier, and the efficiency is
not high at this time. The efficiency is improved when the product is mature, with a complete
and mature supply chain system. The best combination may be a strategic choice, but it must
