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.

A standard "money demand" function used by macroeconomists has the form ln( ) = + ln( ) + m β , 0 β1 GDP β2R Where m is the quan

kvasek [131]

Answer:

1.The money demand will rise by 1.154%

2. The money demanded will fall and for a 1% increase in interest , the money demanded will fall by 0.38%

Explanation:

1. Money demand function

ln(m) = β0 +β1 ln(GDP)+β2R

Suppose β1 = 1.5 , β2 = −0.04 , GDP = $ 100 & R = 3%

ln(m) = 1.5 ln ($100) - 0.04 X 0.03

ln(m) = 6.91

m = 1002.247

Suppose the GDP increases by 1%; the new GDP will be = $ 101

ln(m) = 1.5 ln ($101) - 0.04 X 0.03

ln(m) = 6.92

m = 1013.81

If the GDP increases by 1% ,the money demand will rise by 1.154%

2.

If the interest rate increases from 3% to 4%

ln(m) = 1.5 ln ($100) - 0.04 X 0.04

ln(m) = 6.906155

m = $ 998.400

If the interest rate rises from 3% to 4% , the money demanded will fall and for a 1% increase in interest , the money demanded will fall by 0.38%

Molodets [167]

Answer:

a) it will do 210,000 units of standard

b) 127,500 units of standard

19,000 units of deluxe

Explanation:

Standard Deluxe

Sales 115 135

Variable Cost 50 54

CM 165 189

Constrain resource 0.5 1.5

(machine hours)

CM per constrain 330.00 126.00

a)

As the company can use up to 105,000 machine hours It will use as much as it can in doing Standard model which yield a better contribution of the constrain resource.

105,000 machine hours available / 0.5 hours per standard unit = 210,000 units

As there are 230,000 untis available for Standard we can use the entire capacity for standard and achieve the maximum contribution

b) as there isn't enough demand for standard the compay will do the 127,500 and the rest fill it with deluxe:

105,000 hours - 127,500 x 0.5 = 28,500 hours for deluxe

28,500 / 1.5 hours per unt = 19,000 units for deluxe

Marcus, a high school student, works at a lumberyard making $10.50 an hour. with his academic and sports schedule, he is able to

max2010maxim [7]

Given:
salary: <span>$10.50 an hour
25 hours a week

expenses:
Cellphone bill: $65/month
car insurance: $1,200/yr
*20% taxes.

There is no specific question but I will solve for Marcus net earnings for the year.

25 hours/week * 52 weeks/yr = 1,300 hours/year

Wages: 10.50 per hour * 1,300 hours/year = $13,650 Gross salary per year
Taxes: 13,650 * 20% = 2,730

13,650 - 2,730 = 10,920 net salary for the year

Cell phone bill: 65 per month * 12 months = 780

Net salary:    10,920
Cell phone bill    (780)
Car insurance: <u> (1,200)</u>
Net Income:     8,940 per annum.
