Decision to be taken
To evaluate and decide whether to adopt GFM marketing program, launch a new product and place 15,000 display units in retail outlets within 2 years.
Estimated sales for two years = No. of display units * capacity * inventory turnover * 2 = 15000 * 24*12 * 2.54 = 10972800 pairs
No. of packages of 3 pairs = 10972800/3 = 3657600
Total Sales = Average selling price * No of packages = 3.3 * 3657600 = $12070080
Average margin per package = $ 1.3
Total margins in two years = 1.3 * 3657600 = $ 4754880
Launch costs Involved
Consulting Fees $100000
Display unit Cost 15000 units*$100 = $1500000
Salespersons’ 2 year’s salary 70000*3*2 = $ 420000
Broker commission 5% * 12070080 = $ 603504
Licensing Fees $60000
Advertising $1000000
Consumer Promotion
- Cash Refund
- Coupon Discount
$75000
$136500
Trade Promotion
- Invoice Allowance
- Advertising Allowance
15000*24*(12/3)*3.3*20% = $950400
0.5*15000*24*(12/3)*3.3*5% = $118800
Total cost before adding the promotional expenditures = $3758504
Total cost with Coupon Discount Consumer Promotion and Advertising Allowance as Trade Promotion = 3758504 + 136500 + 118800 = $4013804
Therefore at the end of two years Chipman-Union Inc. will be able to recover all the costs involved in launching the new
Compute the projected profit for the order quantities suggested by the management team under three scenarios: worst case in which sales = 10,000 units, most likely case in which sales = 20,000 units, and best case in which sales = 30,000 units.
The rise in revenue was rapid starting from the year of operations. The key period of business was from April to September were revenues were equal to 65% of total revenue as the product was seasonal.

It is given that total sales were $ 15.80 million in first half of year 1981 and the total sales in 1981 to reach $ 30 million. Profit after tax was expected to be $ 1 million for 1st half and we assumed for the next half, profit will be in proportion to first half & expected to be amounting to $ 0.90 million. For year 1982, the sales expectation by Mr. Rose was around more than $ 71 million &
One of specialty’s managers felt that the profit potential was so great that the order quantity should have a 70% chance of meeting demand and only a 30% chance of any stock-outs. What quantity would be ordered under this policy, and what is the projected profit under the three sales scenarios?

In our second assumption, instead of using the cost of goods per cases in 1986, we try to use the percentage it counts in the total expenses which is 50.4% and to find the sales needed to break-even.
