Adam, the owner of The Toy Box (a toy store), has chosen his products carefully. They are all handmade of wood; none are cheap g

ames made of cardboard and paper. He knows he will be selling his toys to both adults and children; for example, his expensive chess and backgammon sets are quite expensive because the board and pieces are all made of wood by local artists and craftsmen. He knows that his customer base will not include parents who are looking for an inexpensive toy for their children or to give as a birthday gift; there is another store in town that offers mass-produced games. As part of his marketing outreach, Adam offers "game nights" where he sets up game boards and invites local teens and adults to take part in light-hearted competitions, where the winners receive a 10 percent discount to a game at the Toy Box. All of Adam’s activities are aimed at giving Adam a sustainable competitive advantage through ___________.a. defensive strategy
b. blue ocean strategy
c. diversified portfolio

Answer:

The answer is B. The blue ocean strategy

Explanation:

Blue ocean strategy introduces a simultaneous pursuit of differentiation and low cost to open a new market space and create new demand. it is about creating and capturing uncontested market space, thereby making the competition irrelevant. It is based on the view that market boundaries and industry structure are not given and can be constructed by the actions and beliefs of industry players.

Blue ocean in contrast, denote all the industries not in existence today, the unknown market space, unattained by competition, demand is created rather than fought over.

Artemon [7]

Answer:

A) USA will not be better off switching to the new dye since the cost is greater than the Fine

B)  $118076

C)  The reduction in material/fabric cost can be achieved by the reduction in material wastage and in the use of quality materials

while the reduction in labor cost can be achieved by Hiring well trained employees with the necessary skillset

Explanation:

<u>A) Determine If the USA be better off using the new dye </u>

Units of clothes to be dyed = 50,000

Difference in cost = [ 4 ( 1.25 - 0.5 ) ] = 4 * 0.75 = $3

Total cost of using the new dye = 50000 * $3 = $150,000

Fine = $130,000

hence USA will not be better off switching to the new dye since the cost is greater than the Fine

<u>B) Determine by how much overall cost will be reduced at the end of 12 months using Kaizen costing </u>

<em>condition : reduce fabric and labor cost by 1%</em>

Original Monthly Costs without the use of Kaizen Costing =( Total Units/Number of Months)*(Fabric Cost per Unit + Labor Cost per Unit)*Number of Months

= [( 10000 + 50000 )/12 ) * ( 6 + 4 ) ] *12

= [ 5000 * 10 ] *12  = $600,000

Applying kaizen costing

Given: Fabric cost per unit = $6 , Labor cost per unit = $4

          Total units of production = 10000 + 50000 = 60,000

Kaizen costing formula per month = [ (cost per unit * total units / 12 ) - ( 1% of cost per unit * total units / 12) ]

Total annual cost using Kaizen costing = $56807.61

difference in cost = $600,000 - $568076 = $31924

with the new dye and Kaizen costing the overall cost will be change by $118076  i.e. ($150,000 - $31924) = <em>$118076 </em>

C ) The reduction in material/fabric cost can be achieved by the reduction in material wastage and in the use of quality materials

while the reduction in labor cost can be achieved by Hiring well trained employees with the necessary skillset

amid [387]

Answer:

$300,000

Explanation:

Although the property dividend was distributed on January 15, year 6. the <u>amount that will be used is the value of the shares as at the declaration date and not the distribution date </u>

Hence, since the aggregate market price of the tell shares held by bain was $300,000. on the declaration date, the entry to record the declaration of the dividend should include a debit to retained earnings (or property dividends declared) of $300,000

A monopolist faces a demand curve given by: P = 105 – 3Q, where P is the price of the good and Q is the quantity demanded. The m
geniusboy [140]

Answer: 15

Explanation:

For profit to be maximized by a monopolist, the marginal revenue and marginal cost must be gotten.

P= 105-3Q

MC= 15

Since total revenue is price × quantity, TR= P×Q = (105-3Q)Q

= 105Q-3Q^2

MR= 105-6Q

Since we've gotten marginal revenue and marginal cost, we equate both together.

MR=MC

105-6Q = 15

6Q = 105-15

6Q=90

Divide both side by 6

6Q/6 = 90/6

Q= 15

The quantity that will maximise profit is 15
