Market-leader Frito-Lay sells so many snacks to U.S. stores that it operates the country's seventh-largest private fleet of truc

ks and vans. It also uses its fleet to haul raw materials like fresh potatoes from farms to production facilities across the country. At the Frito-Lay plant in Casa Grande, Arizona, potatoes arrive by truck, vegetable oils arrive by rail, and corn arrives by rail. From the time they arrive in their raw state to the time they're processed and packaged as snacks, ready to be trucked to stores and warehouses, potatoes spend less than 36 hours at the plant. In all, the Casa Grande plant turns out 90 million pounds of snacks every year, including Sun Chips, Cheetos, Fritos, potato chips, and tortilla chips.
One of Frito-Lay's distribution strengths is a strategy it calls "direct store distribution." To ensure that snacks arrive fresh and in good condition, Frito-Lay has its truck drivers deliver snacks directly to individual stores on a regular basis. For specialty snacks geared toward smaller target markets, however, Frito-Lay is experimenting with distribution through wholesalers that sell to delicatessens and other small stores. Frito-Lay fills wholesalers' orders with stock stored in its regional warehouses.
Put yourself in the shoes of a marketer helping to plan for supply-chain and channel management at Frito-Lay. Assume that Frito-Lay is a channel captain. Does the following statement describe activities that Frito-Lay should undertake as channel captain?
Offer special pricing to retailers who make high-volume purchases during promotional periods.
A. True
B. False

Many new restaurants have opened in Collegetown in recent years. Given this change in supply, what type of demand would result i
Darina [25.2K]

Answer: Inelastic demand

Explanation:

When new restaurants have opened in College town in recent years, the supply for restaurant meals increase. This will lead to a rightward shift in the supply curve for restaurant meals leading to a fall in the price and an increase in the quantity. The fall in price will be larger the more inelastic demand is.  When demand is more elastic then a fall in price will be less when supply increases.

Softa [21]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

In this case option A is the correct option, i.e. Carolina will accept the new cosmetic line but Sanders will reject the new cosmetic line. This is because Carolina being the president of Deed Corporation would like to take the cosmetic line differently and with the expected rate of return of 12%, i.e. higher than the minimum required rate of return of 8%.

However, Sanders has achieved a 14% rate of return from his cosmetic division thus, being the manger he would not like his performance to go down with 12% return from the new cosmetic line. Thus, option A is the correct option.
