How can a firm increase the life of a product without involving product changes? a. reintroduction b. product extension c. new p
Vitek1552 [10]

When a firm is experiencing lesser profit it can come up with different strategy to improve its present product rather than developing new product because improving present product involves lesser cost therefore more profit. The answer is B. Product Extension and C. New product placement.

Reintroduction is one way, it is launching the product using more creative sales and marketing strategy. It can target a new market segment, provide more information about the product and use more appealing advertisements. The product’s packaging can also be changed to make it look more attractive and fresh.

Product extension can be use as it is targeting a new market. It can involve exporting the products. This strategy may be costly but when successful will level up your product’s quality as it passed exporting quality. It is changing the market NOT the product.

New product Placement is a strategy where in the products are advertised by placing it in media. The products are shown for example in movies, the character uses the products that way it can give awareness to the viewers how the products can be used and also the brand and name of the products are advertised without direct reference to the product. It doesn’t involve changing the product’s feature only the product placement is changed to a new one.

<span>Rebranding can also be used. It is introducing your product with a new name, changing the product’s name not only its packaging but the total appearance. It gives the product a whole new image to target new image audience or expand its audience.</span>

Use the following information to answer questions 4a.1-4a.5 Gerrell Corp. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Gerrel Corp.

EPS (Earnings per share) = Earnings after Tax/Number of outstanding shares

Plan I:

EBIT =                    $90,000

Interest =                 $4,750 ($95,000 x 5%)

Pre-Tax Income = $85,250

Income Tax Exp.      34,100 ($85,250 x 40%)

After Tax Income  $51,150

EPS = $51,150/18,000 = $2.84 per share

Plan II:

EBIT =                    $90,000

Interest =                 $9,500 ($190,000 x 5%)

Pre-Tax Income = $80,500

Income Tax Exp.     32,200 ($80,500 x 40%)

After Tax Income  $48,300

EPS = $48,300/14,000 = $3.45 per share

Plan III:

EBIT =                    $90,000

Pre-Tax Income = $90,000

Income Tax Exp.     36,000 ($90,000 x 40%)

After Tax Income $54,000

EPS = $54,000/22,000 = $2.45 per share

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Plan I = 18,000 shares + $95,000 debt

Plan II = 14,000 shares + $190,000 debt

Difference = 4,000 shares + $95,000 debt

Share price = $95,000/4,000 = $23.75

EBIT = $90,000

Interest Rate = 5%

Corporate Tax Rate = 40%

b) Capital Structure:

Plan I: (Equity and Debt)

Shares of 18,000 x $23.75 + $95,000 debt = $522,500 in total capital

Plan II: (Equity and Debt)

Shares of 14,000 x $23.75 + $190,000 debt = $522,500 in total capital

Plan III: (All-equity plan):

Shares of 22,000 x $23.75 = $522,500 in total capital

c) The Earnings per share is the measurement of the Net Income to stockholders divided by the number of outstanding shares.  It gives an idea about the profitability of the entity, especially with regard to the profit made for common stockholders.  The EPS is also one of the metrics used in the calculation of the P/E ratio to indicate whether a company's shares are undervalued or overvalued.
