(1) State which marketing environment affected Xerox's operation. (1mks)

Business
1 answer:
Andrei [34K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer a:

Clearly, Xerox had one major issue concerning its marketing environment.

Due to technological changes, i's primary market was shifting and changing. Xerox didn't see it. Perhaps they did and decided it (the changes that is) not

Explanation:

One keyword or practice or culture or capability that was missing in Xerox was adaptability. Had they envisaged the future and created some internal structure to gradually cater to the changing requirements of their client base, they'd probably still be in business today.

So in a way, it wasn't really the change in the market that affected Xerox. It was Xerox' inability to respond to such changes that did it in. At some point, it became apparent to investors that Xerox was incapable to move with the next tide. They withdrew their funds, sold their shares and the rest is history.

Answer b:

The major area that affected how Xerox conducted business is the technology enviriomment.

Explanation

Due to the availability of technology which made it possible, peoples mindset were beginning to shift from keeping hard copies and or duplicating them to keeping electronic copies.

Two things made this idea very attractive:

1. It reduced cost greatly. In every era, cost reduction has always been an attractive business proposition for companies in any sector or subsector. As firms discovered they could cut down by keeping electronic copies of their documents, the idea quickly caught on. And so did the profits made by the renowned copier decline.

2. Another factor strenghtened the decline in making and keeping hard copies of documents is the ideology that the more papers we made, the more we were damaging our environment.

Companies that quickly adjusted even used their paper reduction efforts as a unique selling marketing proposition.

Nicole is a calendar-year taxpayer who accounts for her business using the cash method. On average, Nicole sends out bills for a
BigorU [14]

Answer:

a) I guess that Nicole bills $12,000 per month, not $512,000.

Assuming that the last time Nicole billed her customers was November, she was able to collect $11,760 before the year ended. I will also assume that the remaining $240 are uncollectible.

If Nicole postpones billing her customers during December, her taxable income as a cash basis taxpayer will decrease by $12,000 x 70% = $8,400

she will be able to save $8,400 x 2% = $168 in current taxes, but she will have to pay them next year anyways.

b) The time value of money should affect Nicole's calculations because she is saving the interests that could be earned by $168 in 1 year. We are not given any specific interest rate but we could use 6% as an example. Nicole will gain $168 x 6% = $10.08

But she will also lose potential interests earned on the $8,400 that she billed later. Using the same interest rate, 6%, she will lose $8,400 x 6% x 1/12 (only 1 month) = $42.

That means that the net result from this = $10.08 - $42 = -$31.92.

As you can see, Nicole is losing money. The higher the interest rate, the more money she will lose.

c) The risk of increasing uncollectible accounts will always exist. Nicole already has around 2% of uncollectible accounts, and combining two bills at one time might lead to a higher percentage of uncollectible accounts. Of course, this depends on her clients, but the risk will increase a little bit or a lot, but it will increase.

A product sells for $5, and has unit variable costs of $3. This product accounts for $20,000 in annual sales, out of the firm's
Ronch [10]

Answer:

0.1333

Explanation:

Given that,

Selling price = $5

Variable cost = $3

Annual sales = $20,000

Total sales = $60,000

Contribution margin:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= $5 - $3

= $2

Number of units sold:

= Annual sales ÷ Selling price

= $20,000 ÷ $5

= 4,000 units

Total contribution sales:

= Number of units sold × Contribution margin per unit

= 4,000 units × $2

= $8,000

Weighted contribution:

= Total contribution sales ÷ Total sales

= $8,000 ÷ $60,000

= 0.1333
