Part of their service is giving advice to customers about the best toys for a particular age group, which requires having more customer service representatives in the store. During the month long Christmas buying season, it makes half of its $500,000 yearly sales. Its contribution margin on average is 40% and its fixed costs for the year are about $150,000. The owner believes that she could make even higher sales, if she had more customer service representatives on the floor during the peak season.

How much would you be willing to pay for an additional oven?

Two students are planning to start a cookie business called Kirsten Cookie Company. The company is to be housed in a dorm room with many restrictions that limit their production capacity; mainly because of the limited space. Since college students often lived on slim budgets, the students thought they identified a market niche by being able to produce cookies at an affordable price that are custom made to state and freshly baked. Therefore, the students identified the needed raw materials as labor, cookie dough, and boxes. There is a small oven and all of the need equipment to manufacture small batches of cookies. Furthermore, the students hope to only have to run the operation for a maximum of 4 hours per night, using the oven in the room which can bake a maximum of 12 cookies at a time. Any more of a time requirement might place undue pressure on their studies and thus should be avoided.

There are three main channels for Cookie Craze. The first channel is a direct-to-consumer channel that consists of an on-site store at our bakery. This channel is expected to drive a considerable amount of business, probably the majority of our sales initially. The other two channels, both coming under the umbrella of "wholesale", are through grocery outlets and restaurants/coffee shops. The grocery channel will primarily consist of individually packaged cookies, and gift boxes of cookies, that the stores will sell at mark-up to their customers. Restaurants and coffee shops will make the cookies available to their customers as a menu item.
