George Hansen is General Manager for the Marigold Inn in Augusta, Georgia. Sharon Coombs is Restaurant and Food Services manager

for the Inn. She reports to George. Two years ago, Sharon noticed a decline in room service business, the highest margin potion of her operation. This decline coincided with an increase in the national sales of pizza delivery and carryout firms as well as an increase in the number of empty pizza boxes from these firms being left in guest rooms in the Inn. Her immediate response was to install a pizza oven in the kitchen and offer room service pizza to guests. The effort met with modest success, though it was well below her expectations. Questionnaires completed by departing guests revealed a problem of product quality.
Focusing on this problem, Sharon improved the Inn’s pizza until blind tests judged it at least equal in quality to the products of the two major pizza delivery competitors in Augusta. Sales did not improve, convincing Sharon that the problem was a perceived mismatch between the hotel’s image and guests’ expectations of pizza makers. Guests simply did not seem to believe that the traditional steak and seafood restaurant at the Inn could make a high-quality, authentic pizza.
Based on this conclusion, Sharon presented the following proposal to George:
"Sales of room service pizza are stagnant due to guests’ misperception that our product is lower in quality than that of competitors. This misperception is based on the belief that until we disassociate our pizza from the Marigold Inn name. Therefore, to capture more room service pizza business, we should create a ‘Napoli Pizza’ image for our guest room delivery service by:
Preparing ‘Napoli Pizza’ brochures for each guest room, complete with a phone number with a prefix different from that of Marigold Inn. The number will reach a special phone in room service, which will be answered, ‘Napoli Pizza, authentic Italian pizza from old, family recipes.’
Using special ‘Napoli Pizza’ boxes for delivering room service pizza to guests.
Issuing ‘Napoli Pizza’ hats and jackets to room service personnel for use in pizza delivery. Room service waiters and waitresses will wear these garments to deliver pizza. They will change to their regular uniforms for other deliveries.

Answer:

Correct Answer:

1. Preparing ‘Napoli Pizza’ brochures for each guest room, complete with a phone number with a prefix different from that of Marigold Inn. The number will reach a special phone in room service, which will be answered,

Explanation:

This is the best logical suggestion to George because, the guests already had the impression that, the inn cannot be able to produce a very high quality and tasty pizza. <em>Preparing "Napoli Pizza" with different information from the Inn is best alternative. the guest would believe that, the pizza is coming from another quality pizza making company.</em>

What is a major difference between retail banks and credit unions?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Retail banks operate in order to earn profit, while credit unions are nonprofit

Explanation:

What is a major difference between retail banks and credit unions?

Retail banks only serve businesses, while credit unions only serve individuals.

  • This answer is false, both retail banks and credit unions serve businesses and individuals.

Retail banks operate in order to earn profit, while credit unions are nonprofit.

  • This answer is true, retail banks earn profits while credit unions are non-profits.

Retail banks only have small local branches, while credit unions are nationwide.

  • This answer is false. Generally speaking, retail banks have a much larger geographic footprint  than credit unions. Many retail banks are found across the entire country (and sometimes world!) but most credit unions are focused on serving their local community.

Retail banks manage a person's money, while credit unions focus on providing loans.

  • This answer is false. Both retail banks and credit unions offer money/investment management services in addition loans. The financial products offered by retail banks and credit unions depend on the market served and business conditions.

Answer:

The total cost of establishing the portfolio is $2054.95.

Explanation:

The present value of a bond is given as

PV=FV\times\dfrac{1}{(1+r)^n}

For 1 year zero-coupon bond is

  • FV is 500
  • r is 7% or 0.07
  • n is 1

So the value is

PV=FV\times\dfrac{1}{(1+r)^n}\\PV=500\times\dfrac{1}{(1+0.07)^1}\\PV=500\times\dfrac{1}{(1.07)}\\PV=500\times0.9346\\PV=\$ 467.29

Similarly, for 3 years zero-coupon bond is

  • FV is 2000
  • r is 8% or 0.07
  • n is 3

So the value is

PV=FV\times\dfrac{1}{(1+r)^n}\\PV=2000\times\dfrac{1}{(1+0.08)^3}\\PV=2000\times\dfrac{1}{(1.08)^3}\\PV=2000\times0.7938\\PV=\$ 1587.66

So the total cost is

Total Cost=Cost of  1-year zero-coupon bond+Cost of 3-years zero-coupon bond

Total Cost=$ 467.29+$ 1587.66

Total Cost= $ 2054.95

So the total cost of establishing the portfolio is $2054.95.
