Arundel Case

The maximum per-film price for the sequel rights that Arundel Partners should pay is $5.12M.

With the purchase of sequel rights, what Arundel is achieving is to have a call option on the revenue that each movie brings. This helps to remove the uncertainty and risks associated with producing a movie, especially with regard to moviegoers’ taste. With the sequel right, Arundel will only exercise this option to produce a sequel if the first movie proved to be popular and the sequel is hence predicted to bring in profits. This provides downside protection, as huge losses (due to high production costs) associated with a failed movie will be avoided.

Frank Addante got his motivation to work from financing his college life in the first years. He worked on his own, sold and installed car alarms and automatic starters. From this time on he continued to earn money through ad-hoc jobs to make his way through college, but he was always conscious for good ideas, which he could transform into businesses.

Addante was listening to them and came up with his own interpretation of the “search

4. If Ms. Jameson decided that the option was a better deal, but was concerned with being too committed and reliant on the fortunes of Telstar, she could modify her compensation package to better suit her individual needs. Ms. Jameson would be taking considerable risk by keeping all of her bonus in Telstar for stock options with such a lengthy expiration date and also due to the historical data of Telstar showing that only stock prices reached $35 (the exercise price) only once.

5. Assume that a maximum of ten sequels can be made in any given year (choose the sequels that are most likely to be made—for example if the main character in the film dies then a sequel is unlikely to be made) Using the same decision-tree approach, what would you estimate to be the per-movie value of the sequel rights to the entire portfolio of 99 movies released in 1989 by the six major studios?

According to the six stages of setting price, ①we have to select the pricing objective. Since Cumberland is in the level of introducing CMI, they have to pursue product-quality leadership which is to offer “affordable luxuries” for now and consider about maximizing profit later. ②The second stage is to determine demand. So, Cumberland has to consider consumers’ price sensitivity - in this case sensitive to quality. Therefore, we should think about the benefit to consumers (in question 1-2 EVC)

The Burlington case was able to expand the scope of retaliation where it was found out that the anti-retaliation provision and Title VII’s substantive retaliation that include factors to do with gender discrimination (Gillet, Colombat, Michinov, Pronost, & Fouquereau, 2013).
