JTM Ltd incurs costs of $16 per unit ($12 variable, $4 fixed) for a widget it sells for $22. JTM has received two special offers

: Firm A wants 10,000 units and Firm B wants 14,000 units. Both firms will sell the widgets for $17, and JTM has capacity to produce 12,000 additional units. From a cost perspective, what is the main difference between these two offers?

Answer:

We must analyze the potential benefits of choosing one order or the other one:

Current JTM costs:

  • $12 variable per unit
  • $4 fixed per unit

If JTM accepts Firm A's order its fixed costs will not vary and it will be able to increase its profits by: ($17 - $12) x 10,000 = $50,000

Since JTM doesn't have the capacity to fulfill Firm B's order with their current cost structure, if it decides to take it, its variable or fixed costs (we don't know which) will probably increase, so its contribution margin will no longer be $5, as with Firm A's order, but will probably be lower. We are not told by how much the costs would increase.

The third alternative is to accept Firm B's offer and not sell 2,000 units through its normal distribution channels, but that would result in an increase in profits but also loss of normal profits:

($5 x 14,000 units) - ($6 x 2,000 units for the lost normal profits) = $70,000 -  $12,000 = $58,000. If JTM is able to cancel the sale of 2,000 units, then Firm B's offer would increase its profits by $58,000, $8,000 more than Firm A's order, but it depends on its ability to cancel or not the normal sales.

Dominik [7]

Answer:

The answer is stated below:

Explanation:

The challenges which one would face and these are:

1. Hiring especially and retaining the top talent.

2. Secure the budget.

3. Economic fluctuations.

4. Trained professionals.

5. Evaluation of ROI (Return on Investment) on activities of the marketing.

When the company or firm faces the limitations grounded on the real world situations then all of the mentioned above will be a challenge for the company. The firm or the company will have to meet the fluctuation which is linked with the economic conditions as well as the currency.

When the assumptions are build as a simulation then the company or the firm will not be in a position to take the risk. The assumption could cause the firm to travel safely in the economy, in order to take or face the challenges the firm should ready to face the risks and have the plans in respect to tariffs, currency and other barriers.

If the firm wants to play safe then should be open to all the fluctuations and prepared to meet the ups as well as downs in the business.

So, assumptions should be made in such a way that they safeguard or protect the company but should not be such that it will limit the company growth.

How does Apple advertise their Iphone 11 and become successful? It has to be a judgement on how successful they were.
crimeas [40]

Well, through commercials, but they were mainly successful because everyone (almost) knows and trusts Apple, so when the latest product is released, everyone flocks to it because it's new, cool, sleek, and awesome.

They also do partnerships with Verizon and Sprint or whatever.
