Answer:

The Implementation Phase

Explanation:

A marketing plan refers to a a future course of action relating to marketing tactics a firm is planning to employ and specifies the goals and objectives which are to be achieved. It provides direction and guides marketing efforts in a single direction i.e towards attainment of marketing objectives.

A strategic marketing plan is an in-depth marketing plan which specifies the long term marketing strategies, the markets in which the firm shall compete, the target customers and the means to attain marketing goals.

Such a plan incorporates the following phases:

Analysis : It means situational analyses and assessing organizational strengths and weaknesses and matching them with environmental threats and opportunities.
Planning: This involves conducting marketing research and product testing and also planning for the price, promotion and distribution of products.
Implementation: It refers to putting the plans into action and placing the products in the market based upon the distribution channel and markets planned for in previous stages.
Control: This refers to analyzing sales, profit margins and customer satisfaction. Measuring the deviations against figures as anticipated and making necessary modifications in the marketing strategy accordingly.

In the given case, the video game company had planned well w.r.t it's joint venture and strategy but failed to implement it effectively. This points to the company failing at the implementation phase of the strategic marketing process.

At a price of $200, a cell phone company manufactures 100000 phones. At a price of $300, the company produces 300000 phones. Wha

valkas [14]

Answer:

2.5

Explanation:

P1=$200

P2=$300

S1=100000

S2=300000

The percentage change in price is:

$\Delta P =\frac{300-200}{\frac{200+300}{2}}=0.4=40\%$

The percentage change in supply is:

$\Delta S =\frac{300000-100000}{\frac{100000+300000}{2}}=1=100\%$

The price elasticity of supply is given by:

$E=\frac{\Delta S}{\Delta P}=\frac{100\%}{40\%}=2.5$

The price elasticity of supply is 2.5.

An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 3km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the refi

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

$6,598,076.21

Explanation:

<h2>THE KEY IS TO FIND OUT THE COST FUNCTION, the calculations are very easy!!!</h2><h2></h2><h3>In order to find the cost function, take a look at the drawing attached. </h3>

We can see the river (sort of) that is 3 km wide and the storage tanks on the other side of the river 8 km apart.

<h3 />

Laying pipes under (across) the river costs 1,000,000 the km & laying pipes over land costs 500,000 per km.

<h3 /><h3>So basically the cost function is 1,000,000 multiplied by something plus 500,000 multiplied by another something.</h3><h3 />

The distance across the river can be found by using Pythagoras Theorem. A side is 3 km the other is unknown, so we call it X. And it is equal to:

$\sqrt{3^{2} +x^{2}}=\\\sqrt{9 +x^{2}}$

And we multiply it by 1,000,000; the cost of laying pipe under the river, the we get:

$1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}$

The distance over the land is (8-x), as we can see in the drawing. So we multiply it by its cost, 500,000. And we get 500,000(8-x).

So the cost function f(x) would be:

$f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)$

<h2>From here, we just have to differentiate and the derivative found must be equal to zero in order to minimize cost. </h2><h3>The value of x when the derivative is zero is plugged in the original function to get the cost.</h3><h3 /><h2>LET'S DO THIS</h2>

$f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(x)=1000000(9+x^{2})^{1/2}+4000000-500000x\\f'(x)=\frac{1}{2} 1000000(9+x^{2})^{-1/2}(2x)-500000\\\\f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} - 500000$

$f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} - 500000=0\\\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} = 500000\\\frac{2x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} = 1\\2x={\sqrt{9+x^2}}\\4x^2=9+x^2\\3x^2=9\\x^2=3\\x=\sqrt{3} \\$

And we plug square root of 3 in the original cost function ad we get

$f(\sqrt{3} )=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+(\sqrt{3} )^{2}} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+3} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{12}+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000(3.46)+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=3464101.62+3133974.60\\f(\sqrt{3})=6598076.21\\$

<h2>so the minimal cost is $6,598,076.21</h2><h2 /><h3 />
