Answer:

Cost savings in sourcing from Country A = $0.5 million ($57.5 - $57 million)

Explanation:

Sourcing from Country A:

Purchase price = $0.55 per unit

Shipping = $0.02

Total Cost = $0.57

Cost of 100 million units = $57 million

Sourcing from Country B:

Purchasing price = $0.44 ($0.55 x 80%)

Shipping = $0.06

CIF Tariff = 15% = $0.075  ($0.5 x 15%)

Total Cost = $0.575

Cost of 100 million units = $57.5 million

Sourcing from Country A is more beneficial than sourcing from Country B with reduced product cost, but increased shipping and additional tariff.  Whereas Country A gives a total cost for 100 million units of $57 million, sourcing the same units from Country B gives a total cost of $57.5 million.  The savings of $0.5 million is substantial that no company would like to lose unless the goods from Country B are of higher quality than those from Country A.

When performing an external environmental analysis, organizations should consider the PESTLE analysis which tell much about the external environment.

The SWOT analysis provides a scan of the internal and external environment and is an important part of the strategic planning process. Environmental factors Internal to the organization are classified as strengths (S) and weaknesses (W),  and those external can be classified as opportunities (O) and threats (T).

Other factors include the ability to innovate (Technological) and meeting the changing customer needs (Social). The profit part is always important as well in these inflationary times so they also need to set prices well (Economic).
