Mini Case Study Five years ago, Phil Davis left his position at a large company to start Integrated Solutions Co. (ISC), a software design company. ISC’s first product was a unique software package that seamlessly integrated networked PCs. Robust sales of this initial product permitted the company to begin development of other software products and to hire additional personnel. The staff at ISC quickly grew from three people working out of Davis’s basement to over 70 individuals working in leased spaces at an industrial park. Continued growth led Davis to hire seasoned marketing, distribution, and production managers and an experienced accountant, Jan Smith. Recently, Davis decided that the company had become too large to run on an informal basis and that a formalized planning and control program centered on a budget was necessary. Davis asked the accountant, Jan Smith, to work with him in developing the initial budget for ISC. Davis forecasted sales revenues based on his projections…

Question 1 The GFA Company, originally established 16 years ago to make footballs, is now a leading producer of tennis balls, baseballs, footballs, and golf balls. Nine years ago, the company introduced “High Flite,” its first line of high-performance golf balls. GFA management has sought opportunities in whatever businesses seem to have some potential for cash flow. Recently Mr Dawadawa, vice president of the GFA Company, identified another segment of the sports ball market that looked promising and that he felt was not adequately served by larger manufacturers. As a result, the GFA Company investigated the marketing potential of brightly coloured bowling balls. GFA sent a questionnaire to consumers in three markets: Accra, Kumasi, and Koforidua. The results of the three questionnaires were much better than expected and supported the conclusion that the brightly coloured bowling balls could achieve a 10 to 15 percent share of the market. Of course, some people at GFA complained about…

Im looking for assistance with question 4 (bold below), including parts a and b Practice 1: & F., Inc. has developed a new product, the Number Cruncher 2000 to add to its ever-expanding offerings. After doing market research, it has determined that customers would be willing to pay $140 for the NC2000. D&F seeks to earn 25% profit on the product. At present, D&F makes a similar, old style model (The NC1000) for $101.25, which sells for $130.   What must the target cost be in order to earn the 25% profit that the company demands?   If D&F can adjust its costs to the target cost, the company estimates that it can sell 50,000 NC2000s. What would D&F’s profit be at this point?   How many of the old style NC1000s would have to be sold to reach the same profit?   D&F’s head of manufacturing operations is sensitive to the attainability of the cost projections in number 1 above. He has been analyzing the production process to  determine how long it takes for…
