Skipper’s Pet Products was started by Steve to sell a range of dog food and treats made from fish. Due to fish being a very peri

shable product, different methods are used to preserve the life and quality of the product. Arguably, the best method, albeit the most labour intensive and time-consuming, is to dry the fish over several days. This process maintains the nutritional content of the fish, which is often lost using other methods, and it is this that enables Skipper’s to offer a product with a clear USP.
The company is based in Steve’s hometown of Grimsby and he is proud of the local fishing heritage. The fish used in Skipper’s products is sourced from the docks in Grimsby or nearby Hull. Steve says the location of the business means that raw materials and qualified labour are easy to source.
Skipper’s Pet Products have lots of competition, but the competitors buy low quality fish
in China and cook the treats at high temperatures which removes some nutrients so they
are not high quality, healthy dog treats like Skipper’s treats.

The company website allows Skipper’s to sell their dog treats to customers all over the UK. The website sales are increasing each month and generate a larger profit margin than Skipper’s sales to pet shops.




question: Evaluate whether locating Skipper’s close to raw materials was the most important
factor Steve should have considered when choosing a location for his business.
You should use your knowledge of the business as well as the information provided

Answer: Yes it was

Explanation:

When considering where you should set up location, it is best to look at the cost of locating your business from various perspectives such as raw material acquisition, transport to suppliers, transport to customers and accessibility.

Depending on the business, some factors would have to be given more weight. In the above scenario, raw material acquisition and transport from suppliers should be given a higher weight because the goods are perishable and so costs would be high if the location is too far from the source of the fish.

Given that technology has made it easier to sell from many places, transport to customers is not as major a factor as transport to suppliers. The most important factor to focus on for this business therefore is raw material acquisition and by locating the company so close to the source, the cost to acquire the raw material from suppliers was heavily reduced so this was the best option.

What is the difference between internal validity and external validity​? A. A statistical analysis is said to have internal vali
UNO [17]

C. A statistical analysis is said to have internal validity if the statistical inferences about causal effects are valid for the population being studied. The analysis is said to have external validity if conclusions can be generalized to other populations and settings.

So internal validity means the results are accurate and you can use them to make sense of the group you are studying. External validity still means the results are accurate, but that you can use them to make assumptions about the population as a whole.

So if you look at a field of cows where half are white and half are brown, you have internal validity that 50% of your sample is white and 50% is brown. This result would not have external validity because in the whole world, cows can be different colors or combinations of colors.

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

A. The majority of the tax will be borne by the producer.

Explanation:

When an Indirect Tax (impact & incidence on different people) is levied : The burden of it is shifted to the party (buyers/ sellers) whose element (demand/ supply) is more inelastic (less responsive to price).

In this case: If demand for Carlo Rossi wine is relatively elastic (because of substitutes presence) - levying tax on it will hence imply major burden to be borne be producer (because demand is relatively elastic).

b,c : All tax will be borne passed to consumer / producer - if demand is perfectly inelastic/ if supply will be perfectly inelastic respectively.

d: Majority tax will be borne by consumer - if demand is relatively inelastic (than supply)
