Answer:

To: President

From: General Manager Finance

Subject : Pricing strategy for existing products

Date : 20th June 2021

As you are aware about the declining sales of our various products. The main reason identified by our sales and marketing analysts for the declining sales is over pricing of various products. There have been increase competition in the market and new entrants have adopted strategy of economies of scale which enable them to sell the product at low price and gain market share. There we need to cut our costs and then reduce our profit margin to boost sales of our products. We can be profitable from volume sales strategy.

If you need to discuss further on this matter, we can arrange a meeting with head of different department to discuss the business strategy in more detail.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

  • Paul Donut Franchisee : Perfectly Elastic Supply
  • P & G Facial Tissues : Elastic Supply
  • Papermate Pens : Inelastic Supply
  • Bright Ideas Lightbulbs : Perfectly Inelastic Supply

Explanation:

Price Elasticity of Supply is sellers' quantity supplied response to price change. P(Es) = % change in supply / % change in price.

Supply can be classified by Price Elasticity of Supply, as undermentioned :

  1. Elastic Supply : P(Es) > 1 ; % change in supply > % change in price
  2. Inelastic Supply :  P(Es) < 1 ; % change in supply < % change in price
  3. Unitary Elastic : P (Es) = 1 ; % change in supply = % change in price
  4. Perfectly Elastic Supply : P(Es) = ∞ ; Supply responds infinitely to any slight price change & so prices are constant.
  5. Perfectly Elastic Supply : P (Es) = 0 ; Supply responds negligibly to massive price change & so quantity supplied is constant
  • Paul Donut Franchise : Unlimited Supply at constant price, so supply perfectly elastic
  • P & G facial tissues : % change in supply i.e 66% > % change in price i.e 10% , so supply is elastic
  • Papermate pens : % change in supply i.e 10 % < % change in price i.e 15% , so supply is inelastic
  • Bright Ideas Lightbulbs : % change in supply 15% negligible in relation to 400% price change , so supply is perfectly inelastic

Corporation has two manufacturing departments--Casting and Customizing. The company used the following data at the beginning of
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Allocated overhead= $37,260

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total

Estimated total machine-hours (MHs) 10,000

Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $38,000

Estimated variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $4.3

<u>First, we need to calculate the plantwide predetermined overhead rate:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (38,000/10,000) + 4.3

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $8.1 per machine-hour

<u>Now, we can allocate overhead to Job G:</u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Job G

Casting machine-hours 1,600

Customizing machine-hours  3,000

Allocated overhead= 8.1* (1,600 + 3,000)= $37,260

How does having a menu that is uniform around the country provide mcdonald's with economies of scale? how is menu planning made
slega [8]

Yes, a uniform menu allows for centralized planning and distribution without having to many different factories/suppliers.

Menu:

  • If the food menu is consistent, it can be said that economies of scale would be in effect. This is due to the fact that the fixed cost per unit actually gets to decrease, which then leads to a decrease in the average cost of production per unit as the sales volume keeps on increasing, giving the company a cost advantage and resulting in economies of scale. However, when extending to other nations, the menu planning becomes more difficult because local preferences and cultural norms vary widely. For example, beef is not allowed in India, thus the menu must be designed accordingly.
  • McDonald's benefits from economies of scale since customers can place larger orders to reduce the price of their food when there is a standard menu across the nation. The more of a good is produced, the lower the per-unit fixed cost is since these expenses are spread across a larger number of goods, according to Investopedia. Additionally, everywhere you travel in the nation, people are aware of what is on their menu.
