Answer and Explanation:

The product life cycle stages of a product shows the growth of the product from its introducing level to further pathway. In the first stage of product life cycle the product is just launched and sales is less because people are not aware of the product. In the second stage, sales increasing due to the advertisement and the absence of competitors. In the third stage, sales of the product is increasing at a diminishing rate because of the increase of competitors. And in the final stage, the sales of the product decline due to the stiff competition.

Here am taking the product life cycle stages of Nokia and Maggi noodles.

Nokia enters the first stage of product cycle when the Nokia phone is introduced in the economy in 1995 to 2002. The second stage i.e. growth stage is from 2003 to 2009. The maturity stage is from 2009 to 2011. After 2011 it faces decline stage. In the introduction stage Nokia launched the model with capable of sending an receiving messages. And in the second stage they launched phones without external antenna and also had better features of games, alarm,displays etc. And in the third stage, launched a lot of touch screen models but that not compete with the new brands. A good will company faces decline stage only because of the wrong decisions such as when all other mobile companies move and the popularity of android increases, Nokia and its windows phone failed to attract consumers.  

While considered the product life cycle stages of Maggi noodles. In the introductory stage, high failure rates with the lowest acceptance from the consumers. In the growth stage, they offered more sizes,flavors and options. In 2003, they reaches the maturity stage. Then it faces long run drop in sales. The lack of essential nutrients and the increase in prices and the mismatch of their flavors with Indian taste are the main drawbacks made by the Nestle company in the case of Maggi noodles.

Suggestions;

The companies must increase the market penetration strategies by increasing the advertising strategies. They also conducted marketing survey before launching a new product.Attractive advertisements attract consumers. Innovations of new products with different flavors also increase the growth of the product. Above all, there should be make changes in the features of products with the changing environment of the economy.

Total 17500 shirts are produced and sold. The selling price is $22, variable cost per unit is $18 and fixed cost is $ 80000. If
scoray [572]

Answer:

please mark me as brainlist please

Explanation:

The basic theory illustrated in (Figure) is that, because of the existence of fixed costs in most production processes, in the first stages of production and subsequent sale of the products, the company will realize a loss. For example, assume that in an extreme case the company has fixed costs of ?20,000, a sales price of ?400 per unit and variable costs of ?250 per unit, and it sells no units. It would realize a loss of ?20,000 (the fixed costs) since it recognized no revenue or variable costs. This loss explains why the company’s cost graph recognized costs (in this example, ?20,000) even though there were no sales. If it subsequently sells units, the loss would be reduced by ?150 (the contribution margin) for each unit sold. This relationship will be continued until we reach the break-even point, where total revenue equals total costs. Once we reach the break-even point for each unit sold the company will realize an increase in profits of ?150.

For each additional unit sold, the loss typically is lessened until it reaches the break-even point. At this stage, the company is theoretically realizing neither a profit nor a loss. After the next sale beyond the break-even point, the company will begin to make a profit, and the profit will continue to increase as more units are sold. While there are exceptions and complications that could be incorporated, these are the general guidelines for break-even analysis.

As you can imagine, the concept of the break-even point applies to every business endeavor—manufacturing, retail, and service. Because of its universal applicability, it is a critical concept to managers, business owners, and accountants. When a company first starts out, it is important for the owners to know when their sales will be sufficient

Direct materials $ 6.20

Direct labor $ 3.10

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.35

Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 14,000

Sales commissions $ 1.50

Variable administrative expense $ 0.40

Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 4,500

A metal-cutting operation has a target value of 20 and consistently averages 19.8 with a standard deviation of 0.5. The design e
aniked [119]

Answer:

process capability  index =  Cpl ( lower ) = 1.20 ( A )

The process capability ratio = 1.33

Explanation:

Target value = 20

mean = 19.8

standard deviation = 0.5

upper specification limit = 22

lower specification limit = 18

The process capability index =

Cpu = \frac{22- 18}{6(0.5)}   = 4 / 3 = 1.33

Cpk ( upper ) = (22 - mean ) / 3 * std

                      = ( 22 - 19.8 ) / ( 3 * 0.5 ) = 2.2 / 1.5 = 1.47

Cpl ( lower ) = ( mean - 18 ) / ( 3 * 0.5 ) = ( 19.8 - 18 ) / 1.5

                    = 1.8 / 1.5 =  1.2

hence the process capability index is Capability index with the minimum value which is Cpl ( lower ) = 1.20 ( A )

The process capability ratio = 1.33 refer to Cpu equation
