How did rogo improve his factory's performance on each of these dimensions?

1 answer:

6 0

He took the advice from Jonah. The way he improved included many steps. First he increased throughput by getting cash while staying in the plant. He managed to deliver all the overdue orders which also helped him getting rid of the excess inventory which was a natural result of more sales. Secondly he reduced the inventory by changing the production process. The plant produced more of those parts which were in demand or which were overdue instead of those excess parts which were occupying the inventory and slowing down the progress.

This is the full question:

Before Caffè Gustoso's owners can develop a marketing plan for the new store, they need to decide how to expand.

To keep the market expansion manageable, they have decided to limit the potential locations to the Chicago suburbs. However, they don't know which suburb to target.

The profile of Caffè Gustoso's current downtown customer is as follows:

Total population: 39,404

Average household income: $121,000

Average household expenditures: $81,000

Age range of customers: 53% In their 20s and 30s

Type of employment: 73.3%White collar employment:

Education level: 79.1% Bachelor's degree or higher:

Family status: Married: 49.3% Households without children: 78%

The owners have collected data on three potential markets presented in the market analysis report shown here and want your feedback.

Which of the Chicago suburbs is the best target for Caffè Gustoso's planned market development? Deerfield, Aurora or Naperville.

And the correct answer is:

Naperville, IL

Explanation:

The following information for the 3 suburbs is taken form US Census

Average

Household

Income Median Age %Married %W/O Kids Race

Naperville $105,585 35 70% 55% 76% White

Aurora $63,967 32 54% 53% 56% White

Deerfield $107,194 40 73% 56% 95% White

The suburb that fits the average customer is Deerfield, for the following reasons:

The average household income of the Caffe Gustoso's customer is $121,000, and the average household income in Naperville is $105,585, a bit less, but not by a lot.
49% of the customers are married, in Naperville, 70% of people are married. The difference is significant, but in Deerfield more people are married (73%), and in Aurora, the percentage of married people is close (54%), but the average income is not ($63,967 vs $121,000).
The average customer is in his 20s and 30s, and the median age in Naperville is 35, still in the 30s.
78% of customers do not have children, and in Naperville 55% of people have children, however, the figures are practically the same for the three suburbs so this is inconsequential.
73.3% of customers are white, and 76% of people in Naperville are white, an almost 1:1 correspondence.

The Coase theorem states that A) the private sector will fail to produce the efficient amount of a public good because of the fr

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the problems in economics is the allocation of goods in the presence of externalities. When externalities are present allocation of goods in private market won't be efficient because private parties won't internalize them and would arrive to an inefficient outcome. For many years this was an argument in favor of government intervention.

However, Ronald Coase showed that assigning property rights of the externality to one of the private parties (no matter which one) would result in an efficient outcome. This is because the parties with the property right would then internalize the cost. Then in the bargaining process private parties would reach an efficient outcome without the intervention of the government.
