1. Think about all of the many products you can purchase today. Identify one product that currently represents each phase of the
olganol [36]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

We can take a Andriod smartphone as one of the product. Definitely, each unique smartphones including both the high and low-end products represent the four distinct stages of product life cycle. The nature of competition, price, distribution and promotion can be differentiated well among different stages of the life cycle.

As far a competition is concerned, at the introduction phase, the competition will be too high. For the high-end phone coming with unique features (i.e. unique value to the customer) will face less severe competition at this time. As the growth phase comes, the uniqueness will disappear as others will also come out with similar features in their features. As a result, the competition will intensify and will reach the maximum at the maturity of the product.

The pricing strategy at different stages will depend upon the generic strategy of the company. At the introduction stage, if the company is having a differentiation strategy, it usually goes for a premium price. Others, having cost leadership strategy will go for low price. Sometimes the low price is kept initially at a very thin or zero margins just to capture the market share. However, for smartphones, this is very difficult. As competition intensifies in growth and maturity, the price falls. This is the fate generally with most of the Andriod smartphones as their features are not inimitable. Huge discounts in price can be observed for smartphones at their decline phase due to obsolescence of technology.

It has become a trend nowadays to initially distribute the smartphones through an online retail partner where the smartphone manufacturer gives an exclusive right to the retail partner to sell the initial lots. The retailer first books the order and then does the transaction. As the product gets publicity and attains its growth, it is sold in other places such as company outlets, bricks-and-mortar retailers, supermarkets, eStores etc. up to the maturity and decline phase.

As in distribution, the promotion becomes huge by the online retail partner at the introduction phase. The smartphone manufacturer also uses direct marketing, imagery, and social media marketing as primary tools at this phase.

You run a school in Florida. Fixed monthly cost is $5,435.00 for rent and utilities, $6,171.00 is spent in salaries and $1,545.0
umka21 [38]

Answer:

31

Explanation:

The calculation of indifferent between your current mode of operation and the new option is shown below:-

Current Operation

Contribution Margin = Monthly Fees - Variable Cost

= $734.00 - $91.00

= $643.00

Total Fixed Cost = Rent and Utilities + Salaries + Insurance

= $5,435.00 + $6,171.00 + $1,545.00

= $13,151.00

New Operation

Contribution Margin = Monthly Fees - Variable Cost

= $1,054.00 - $158.00

= $896.00

Total Fixed Cost = Rent and Utilities + Salaries + Insurance

= $11,679.00 + $6,974.00 + $2,408.00

= $21,061.00

Here we will assume the indifferent number of students will be X

So,

Income under current option = Income under new option

$643.00 × X - $13,151.00 = $896.00 × X - $21,061.00

$253X = $7,910

X = $7,910 ÷ $253

= 31.26

or

= 31

Calculate the amount of depreciation to report during the year ended December 31, 2013, for equipment that was purchased at a co
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

1) Straightline   $ 2000

2) Double-Declining-Balance  $ 4000

3) Units of Production  $ 2000

Explanation:

Cost of equipment $43,000

Residual value of equipment  $3,000

Useful life of equipment 5 years

Formula:

1) Straight Line Method Depreciation = Cost - Salvage Value/ Useful Life

Straight Line Method Depreciation = $43,000 -$3,000/5=$ 8000

The amount of depreciation using Straight Line Method Depreciation for the year ended December 31, 2013, is

($ 8000/12)*3= $ 2000

The straight Line depreciation expense for 3 months is $ 2000

2) Straight Line Rate= 100%

Useful Life= 100%/5 = 20%

Double Declining Method = 2 * Straight Line Rate

Double Declining Method = 2 * Straight Line Rate= 2*20%= 40%

Year     Book Value      Dep          Dep               Accu.       Book

                                      Rate         Expense      Dep.          Value

1           40,000             40              16000          16000         24000

Depreciation Expense for the whole year would be $ 16000.

Depreciation expense using double declining method for 3 months would be = ($ 16000/12 )*3= $ 4000

3) Depreciation per unit= (Cost -Salvage value) / Total units of production

Depreciation per unit=  $43,000 -$3,000/20,000=40,000/20,000=2

Depreciation Expense = Depreciation per unit * No of Units Produced

Depreciation Expense =  2*1000= $ 2000

Depreciation Expense using  Units of Production method would be $ 2000 for 3 months. i.e on 31st Oct 2013

xenn [34]

Answer:

Export of labor-intensive products

Heavy investment in building a world-class infrastructure to attract foreign investment

Explanation:

The population of China is the highest in the world, hence they concluded that they needed to use their number to their own advantage by adopting a labor-intensive production technique which enables them to export their products as well as ensuring a higher percentage of the populace is gainfully employed, little wonders how China products are available the world over.
