- Keith Golding has decided to purchase a personal computer. He has narrowed his choices to two: Brand A and Brand B. Both brands have the same processing speed, hard disk capacity, RAM, graphics card memory, and basic software support package. Both come from companies with good reputations. The selling price for each is identical. After some review, Keith discovers that the cost of operating and maintaining Brand A over a three-year period is estimated to be 200. For Brand B, the operating and maintenance cost is 600. The sales agent for Brand A emphasized the lower operating and maintenance cost. She claimed that it was lower than any other PC brand. The sales agent for Brand B, however, emphasized the service reputation of the product. She provided Keith with a copy of an article appearing in a PC magazine that rated service performance of various PC brands. Brand B was rated number one. Based on all the information, Keith decided to buy Brand B. Required: 1. What is the total product purchased by Keith? 2. Is the Brand A company pursuing a cost leadership or differentiation strategy? The Brand B company? Explain. 3. When asked why he purchased Brand B, Keith replied, I think Brand B offered more value than Brand A. What are the possible sources of this greater value? If Keiths reaction represents the majority opinion, what suggestions could you offer to help improve the strategic position of Brand A?arrow_forwardColin OShea has a carpentry shop that employs 4 carpenters.

Modern Furniture’s chief operations officer wants an analysis of the comparative costs of manufacturing these cushions to determine whether bringing the manufacturing in-house would save the firm money. Additional information shows that if Modern furniture’s were to manufacture the cushions, the materials cost would be $16 and the labor cost would be $10 per set and that it would have to purchase cutting and sewing equipment, which would add $25,000 to annual fixed costs.

CC estimates that, on an average day, there are 1,000 sunbathers evenly spread along the beach and each sunbather will buy one crepe per day provided that the price plus any disutility cost does not exceed $5. Each sunbather incurs a disutility cost of getting up from resting to get a crepe and returning to their beach spot of 25 cents for every 1⁄4 mile the sunbather has to walk to get to the CC stall. Each crepe costs $0.50 to make and CC incurs a $40 overhead cost per day to operate a stall. What price should CC charge if it only has one store? What profit would CC gain if it only has one store? How many franchises should CC award given that it determines the prices the stall holders can charge and that it will have a profit-sharing royalty scheme with the stall holders? What is price of a crepe at each stall?arrow_forward
- Alderon Enterprises is evaluating a special order it has received for a ceramic fixture to be used in aircraft engines. Alderon has recently been operating at less than full capacity, so the firm's management will accept the order if the price offered exceeds the costs that will be incurred in producing it. You have been asked for advice on how to determine the cost of two raw materials that would be required to produce the order. A) The special order will require 800 gallons of Endor, a highly perishable material that is purchased as needed. Alderon currently has 1,200 gallons of Endor on hand, since the material is used in virtually all of the company's products. The last time endor was purchased, Alderon paid $5.00 per gallon. However, the average price paid for the endor in stock was only $4.75. The market price for the Endor is quite volatile, with the current price at $5.50. If the special order is accepted, Alderon will have to place a new order next week to replace the…arrow_forwardJack's Back Porch manufactures rustic furniture.

When managers meet to discuss this proposal, Product Manager Will Hansen brings up the fact that they have the design for an electric fence that can be used for large animals that has never been produced. Will suggests that this may be the perfect time to launch this new product and at a selling price of $225 per unit it is sure to increase sales revenue. The production manager calculates that the idle time created by accepting the contractors offer would allow them to produce 1,000 of the new fence. The cost to produce the new fence would be $175 in variable manufacturing expense but fixed manufacturing and marketing costs would remain unchanged. The product mix would now be 1,000 of the new fence and 1,500 of the old fence. If Marquette wants to seriously consider taking the contractors offer, what in-house…arrow_forward

In order to do so, Brubaker has decided to locate a new factory in the Panama City area. Brubaker will either buy or lease a site depending upon which is more advantageous. The site location committee has narrowed down the available sites to the following three buildings. Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $610,000, useful life 25 years. Building B: Lease for 25 years with annual lease payments of $70,000 being made at the beginning of the year. Building C: Purchase for $650,000 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 25 years at a net annual rental of $6,000. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year.

Benson is willing to pay $67 per fireplace but it wants a special design imbedded into the fireplace that increases cost of goods sold by $55,350. The special design also requires the purchase of a part that costs $5,500 and will have no future use for Coronado Company. Benson Building & Supply will pick up the fireplaces so no shipping costs are involved. Due to capacity limitations, Coronado cannot accept both special orders. Which order should be accepted?
