Using college students as the market segment, describe the most relevant reference group(s) and indicate the probable degree of

Sergio039 [100]

Answer and Explanation:

A. Toothpaste brand: Toothpaste is a commonly used, inexpensive, and very popular product. These decisions are governed mainly by the reference group such as family , friends or primary group with whom a student has regular face to face experiences. Hence the purchase decision is affected by a low degree of comparison community.

B. Buying a hybrid car: A hybrid car is sometimes described as expensive and luxury products. It's moreover a non-necessity commodity for a college student. These decisions are therefore usually affected by secondary community. And a high degree of control in the comparison community will only inspire a student to buy a car.

C. Buying cereal for breakfast: This is a simple requirement of a lifetime. Therefore, even without consulting any reference group a student can buy such product. Often such transactions are rules by family group control. So it needs a low degree of control.

D. Becoming a vegetarian: It takes a high degree of influence and motivation to become a vegetarian.

Thus the aspirational group influences a student. So they opt for vegetarianism to become part of such a community. Such decision taking involves a high degree of control.

E. Option of a computer tablet like the iPod: these products are a luxury commodity sold at regular prices. Typically refer to their families , friends, magazines before making a purchase student to get an idea about the output and price of these products. These goods are the weak product with a strong brand and a strong purchase is controlled by a strong reference community impact.

Koffee Express operates a number of espresso coffee stands in busy suburban malls. The fixed weekly expense of a coffee stand is

sergey [27]

Answer:

1.

* Number of Cups of coffee served in a week is 1,800:

Fixed cost: $1,100

Variable cost: $0.26

Total cost average cost per cup: $0.87 ( which is calculated as Total Fixed cost/Total of cups served + Variable cost per unit = 1,100/1,800 + 0.26)

* Number of Cups of coffee served in a week is 1,900:

Fixed cost: $1,100

Variable cost: $0.26

Total cost average cost per cup: $0.84 ( which is calculated as Total Fixed cost/Total of cups served + Variable cost per unit = 1,100/1,900 + 0.26)

* Number of Cups of coffee served in a week is 2,000:

Fixed cost: $1,100

Variable cost: $0.26

Total cost average cost per cup: $0.81 ( which is calculated as Total Fixed cost/Total of cups served + Variable cost per unit = 1,100/2,000 + 0.26)

2.

The average cost per cup of coffee served decreases as the number of cups of coffee served in a week increases.

This is because average cost per cup of coffee served is equal to the sum of allocated fixed cost to one cup of coffee + variable cost of one cup of coffee. Although the variable cost of one cup of coffee remains the same given changes in the number of cups served, the allocated fixed cost to one cup of coffee decreases as the cups served increases as Total fixed cost remained the same, yet it will be allocated to more cup served, so the amount allocated to one cup served will decreases.

A formula will make it easy to understand:

Average cost per cup of coffee served = Variable Cost + Total Fixed cost/Total of cups served. Variable cost and total fixed cost remains the same with the variation of number of cup served; thus as number of cups served increases, Average cost per cup of coffee served decreases.

Erin Shelton, Inc., wants to earn a target profit of $960,000 this year. The company’s fixed costs are expected to be $1,320,000

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

1. Break-even sales = $2,200,000

2. Net Income = $0

3. Sales = $3,800,000

4. See explanation section

5. Margin of safety = $1,600,000

Margin of safety (%) = 42.11%

Explanation:

Requirement 1.

We know,

Break-even sales = Fixed expense ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Given,

Expected Fixed expense = $1,320,000

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin ÷ Sales Revenue

As we do not have contribution margin and Sales Revenue, we have to use variable costs that is expected to be 40% of sales. Therefore,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales (%) - variable costs (%) = 100% - 40% = 60%

Therefore, Break-even sales = $1,320,000 ÷ 60%

Break-even sales = $1,320,000 ÷ 60%

Therefore, Break-even sales = $2,200,000

Requirement 2.

Erin Shelton, Inc.

Contribution Margin Income Statement format

For the year ended, December 31, Current year

Sales Revenue $2,200,000 (Requirement 1)

Less: Variable expense (40% of sales) 880,000

Contribution Margin $1,320,000

Less: Fixed Expense 1,320,000

Net operating Income 0

In break-even sales, total fixed expense = total contribution margin, therefore, no income or loss.

Requirement 3.

We know,

This year, To attain profit, sales = (Fixed expense + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Given,

Expected Fixed expense = $1,320,000

Target Profit = $960,000

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin ÷ Sales Revenue

As we do not have contribution margin and Sales Revenue, we have to use variable costs that is expected to be 40% of sales. Therefore,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales (%) - variable costs (%) = 100% - 40% = 60%

Therefore, To attain profit, sales = ($1,320,000 + $960,000) ÷ 60%

To attain profit, sales = $2,280,000 ÷ 60%

Therefore, To attain profit, sales = $3,800,000

Requirement 4.

Using To attain profit, sales = $3,800,000 (From Requirement 3) to find the net operating income

Erin Shelton, Inc.

Contribution Margin Income Statement format

For the year ended, December 31, Current year

Sales Revenue $3,800,000 (Requirement 3)

Less: Variable expense (40% of sales) 1520,000

Contribution Margin $2,280,000

Less: Fixed Expense 1,320,000

Net operating Income $960,000

Requirement 5.

We know,

Margin of safety = (Current sales - Break-even sales)

From Requirement 1, we get, Break-even sales = $2,200,000

From Requirement 3, we get, Current sales = $3,800,000

Margin of safety = $3,800,000 - $2,200,000

Therefore, Margin of safety = $1,600,000

Margin of safety as percentage = [(Current sales - Break-even sales) ÷ Current sales] × 100

Margin of safety = ($1,600,000 ÷ $3,800,000) × 100

or, Margin of safety = 0.42105 × 100

Margin of safety = 42.11%
