HRP 111 – Assignment #2 Case Study 1
Case Study 1 Constructed Response Answer
The breakeven point is a point at which there is no profit and no loss. Total revenue covers total costs.
We know that 5000 cakes will be sold and that there are already fixed costs amounting to 12500.
Variable cost per cake is 10. Contribution per cake = selling price - variable cost = SP - 10
At breakeven point, Total contribution = fixed cost.
When there is no advertisement expense, it means that 500 x(SP-10)=12,500
SP=(125000
)+10=$12.5
(5000)
They can break even without paying for advertisements by charging just $12.5 per cake while the competitors are selling for $20 per cake
According to Loren, the selling price should be $20 and advertisement costs will be $3000
That brings up the fixed cost to $15,500 Profit = 5,000x20-5000x10-15,500=$34,500.
According to Vivian, the selling price should be 10% less than the competitors. So, the selling price = 20-10%=$18 per cake. Also, she thinks advertisement costs can be avoided by advertising on social media.
Profit = 5000x18-5000x10-12500=$27500.
It is more profitable to go with Loren's opinion, at a selling price of $20 and an advertising budget of $3000.
Case Study 2
Gordon Sparks Ltd. sells ergonomic chairs. The company implemented a new bonus structure for all of their managers. If net income increased from the previous year, managers would be rewarded with 0.5% of the increase in net income. In January of last year, Mingle Nicholson was hired as the manager of the marketing department. As the marketing manager, he was responsible for seeking external opportunities, managing budgets and understanding the current and potential customers. Every three or four days, Mingle would meet with the
sales manager, Logan Freidman. The meeting was usually about past sales, and whether there were changes to the selling strategy. This information was extremely important to Mingle, since he was responsible for ensuring the marketing objectives are aligned with the sales objectives. During the year, Mingle made several changes to Gordon Sparks’ marketing strategy. Mingle created a set of popular commercials, which were a complete success. Each commercial reached over 5,000,000 views on YouTube. However, by the end of that year, Mingle realized that he did not receive a bonus from the company because the company’s overall financial performance remained the same. Discuss the appropriateness of
the company’s bonus policy. Case Study 2 Constructed Response Answer
According to the agency's incentive programmer, advertising supervisors receive a 5% bonus on online earnings earned in previous years. This bonus programmer will encourage managers to increase their earnings. However, due to other costs and other expenditures, such money may not necessarily come to be in the rise of online income. However, the bonus policy would incorporate some proportion of online earnings as well as a few percent of internet gain in the previous year's income. The marketing manager is solely responsible for increasing revenue. Other operational costs are beyond his control As a result, this strategy will not inspire managers since it will result in a lack of motivation based on the mistakes of other departmental managers. As a result, a little modification to the current policy might

5. The marketing manager of a large truck manufacturer
was surprised to learn that the price lists generated by his
department had little relation to the prices that were
actually charged to customers. The company's finance
department often changed the prices to confirm to profit
goals before the prices reached the company's sales
force. The salespeople often gave customers discounts to
increase their sales volume. The operations manager
made price adjustments to accommodate delays in
promised shipping times.
a. Why is this situation undesirable for the company?
b. What can be done about this situation?

Question 3. FRA Pricing, Valuation, Payoff, and Hedging
Today is June 1. Sustainable Corporation has an obligation of $25 million coming due on August 1. The company is planning to borrow this amount on August 1 to fulfill its obligation, and plans to pay back the loan on December 1. The company’s borrowing rate is LIBOR + 125 basis points. The company’s bank presents it with the following LIBOR term structure:
# days
LIBOR
30
0.90%

1.00%

For the calculation of interest, the bank assumes 30 days in a month, and 360 days in a year.
Ms. Devro, the VP Finance of Sustainable, is worried that LIBOR will increase between June and August, thus increasing the company’s borrowing cost. She advises that the company enters into a forward rate agreement (FRA) with its bank to hedge its interest rate risk. She has asked you, the treasurer of the company, to…
