Insurance companies expend a lot of effort marketing their offerings, mainly due to the fact that insurance is an unsought product that consumers don't normally think about much.

<h3>What are unsought products?</h3>

Although a buyer may feel pressured into purchasing a product they do not want, unsought commodities are frequently bought under certain circumstances, so a marketing strategy that harasses consumers into purchasing the product will be seen as immoral. A notable example of an unasked-for good is funeral services.

Unsought goods are those that consumers are unaware of or hardly ever think about purchasing and whose acquisition is motivated by a combination of risk or worry about harm and lack of desire. Examples of well-known but unpopular things are funeral services, encyclopedias, fire extinguishers, and reference books.

A potential investor is seeking to invest $500,000 in a venture, which currently has 1,000,000 million shares held by its founde
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a, 15%

b, 150,000

c, $ 3.30

d, = $3,333,333.33

e, $3,833,333.33

Explanation:

To solve this,

Note that we have been given a similar venture to compare to our venture.

The total shareholder's equity for the other venture (P) = $10,000,000 and the net income (E) = $1,000,000

Hence, Price/Earnings (P/E) for other venture = 10,000,000/1,000,000 = 10.0

Now for our venture, Earnings in the 5th year = $500,000

Assuming that P/E ratio for both the ventures to be equal, P/500,000 = 10.0

hence, total shareholder's value for our venture = $5,000,000 --------------- (1)

Now the investor invested $500,000 and expected 50% return after 5 years, hence the investor's value after 5 years would be equal to 500,000 * (1+50%) = $750,000 --------------- (2)

Now percent ownership of venture given to investor = (Value of investor's investment after 5 years/total value of all shareholders after 5 years)

Hence, divide (2) by (1)

percent ownership of venture given to investor = 750,000/5,000,000 = 0.15

or 15%

Therefore Answer to part 'a' is = 15%

Part (b) :For the percentage ownership given to new investor = 15%, total number of shares = 1,000,000

Hence, number of shares issued to new investor = 15% x 1,000,000 = 150,000

Hence, answer to part b = 150,000

Part (c): Amount invested by new investor = $500,000 and number of shares issued to him = 150,000

hence issue price of share = Amount invested / Number of shares issued

= 500,000/150,000 = $3.33

Hence, issue price per share = $3.33

Part (d):

The Pre money valuation is the value of the company before any external funding. In this case, the number of shares held with the founders before the new investor = 1,000,000 and the equity price = $3.33

hence, Value of the venture = 3.33 * 1,000,000 = $3,333,333.33

Hence, pre money valuation of the venture = $3,333,333.33

Part (e): Post money valuation of a company is the value of the company after external funding. In this case, investor invests $500,000 to the venture increasing the value of the company by the same amount.

Hence post money valuation = pre money valuation + Investment

= 3,333,333.33 + 500,000

= 3,833,333.33

Hence, post-money valuation of the venture = $3,833,333.33

Compare and contrast the three options from the perspective of cost. Which one do you believe will provide the most economical s
Anvisha [2.4K]

Incomplete question. The full question read:

Power Force Corporation Kip Himmer, executive vice president of operations of Power Force Corporation (PFC), is feeling stressed out. The producer of power tools for the do-it-yourself market is experiencing higher fulfillment costs as retailers change their buying patterns. They all seem to want smaller, more frequent shipments to a larger number of locations. And, the retailers' service expectations are on the rise. They are demanding advanced shipping notification, RFID tags on all products, and improved inventory visibility. Gone are the days when the retailers bought power tools by the truckload for delivery to a few regionally dispersed distribution centers. Instead, they are asking for smaller shipments to multiple distribution centers and direct delivery to stores. Some retailers are also inquiring about PFC's ability to deliver orders for individual customers direct to their homes. This drop-shipping strategy is completely new to PFC and Himmer worries that it could create major bottlenecks at the company's centralized delivery center that sits next to the factory in Louiseville Kentucky. And, all of these new requirements are accompanied by shorter order cycle time goals. Himmer feels that he is stuck between a rock and a hard place as the major home improvement chain stores (Home Depot, Lowe's, and True Value) account for more than 80 percent of PFC's sales. Although compliance is proving to be very expensive, PFC cannot afford to deny the requests. Doing so would have an unwelcome effect on revenues. After consulting with his fulfillment team, Himmer has come to the conclusion that he has three reasonable options to address the emerging marketplace requirements.

Option 1 - Upgrade the existing PFC distribution center in Kentucky to handle multiple order types and smaller shipments. Deploy warehouse automation to improve order fulfillment speed and efficiency.

Options 2 - Expand the PFC fulfillment network. Add regional distribution centers in Nevada and New Jersey to the existing Kentucky distribution center. Modify operational processes and flows so that orders for delivery centers, stores, and individual consumers can be fulfilled.

Options 3 - Outsource fulfillment to a capable third party logistics company so that PFC can focus its efforts on quality production, accurate demand planning, and lean inventory management.

Himmer's next step is to fully evaluate the three options and choose a path forward before his upcoming meeting with Marcia Avis, the owner of PFC. Avis will ask tough questions and Himmer must be confident in his recommendations.

<em>Compare and contrast the three options from the perspective of customer service. Which one do you believe will provide the most economical solution for PFC?</em>

Answer:

<u>Options 3 - Outsource fulfillment to a capable third party logistics company so that PFC can focus its efforts on quality production, accurate demand planning, and lean inventory management.</u>

Explanation:

In terms of cost, it will be preferable if Himmer outsourced the fulfillment objectives to another company that is capable because if for example, they decide to go with:

option 1: they will need to set aside large funds investing in physical infrastructure; such as upgrading the existing PFC distribution center in Kentucky, buying warehouse automation tools, etc. Or they chose;

option 2: It also requires even more funds to be able to expand and add new regional distribution centers in Nevada and New Jersey, etc.
