AutoEdge Individual Project 5
By: Dameon Griggs
Conclusion and Recommendations
Legal, social, and financial factor considerations
An important when regarding moving AutoEdge to another country is it is important legal consideration is ensuring that your intellectual property (IP) rights expand to the country you want to move your manufacturing to. This is key because different countries have different IP laws and manners of enforcement.
AutoEdge would have to become more vocal on social media due to our company expanding and moving our processes to a different country.
Even with thorough preparation, conflicts can emerge. A lawyer skilled in handling international business conflicts can speed up the settlement procedure, safeguard your rights, and reduce possible interruptions to your production activities.
Economic factors
A country is only as good as their GDP and knowing which resources are the most valuable while understanding the meaning of scarcity.
Moving manufacturing nearer to existing and future buyers further down the supply chain boosts trade. By operating in the same regions and sharing time zones, manufacturers can reduce delivery times, enhance customer service, and provide higher degrees of personalization.
The cost of manufacturing could be further reduced from what they are now by taking use of opportunities to use innovative production techniques, such as a hybrid of in-house and outsourced production or partnering with a shelter provider.
Elasticity of demand
The demand for AutoEdge auto parts will fluctuate according to the resources available in both nations. We will be able to swap them out to ensure that the business will be sustainable because the resources in our two countries are balanced. Due to uncertainty, economic changes can be erratic, but our study will play a major role in how the economy changes. Even though elastic demand pricing may increase, this will still be the best thing for the business since, if it is profitable and prospering, it will be able to cut prices to remain competitive and satisfy customers.
When customers are highly sensitive to changes in price, there is a high PED. This suggests, for example, that if prices rise due to inflation, customers will reduce the quantity they purchase by skipping, switching, or substituting.
Economies of scale and efficiency
This move will increase our quality control numbers and provide better quality for our consumers. One of main concerns that consumers have when deciding on whether to buy products is the quality aspect.
This move will give us an edge over our competitors with bringing manufacturing to the United States. Reducing your shipping and transit expenses not only saves money but also energy, making American production the more ecologically responsible choice.
Consumers today want to feel good about the companies they do business with, and many will take a company's environmental standards into account before making a purchase.

INTEGRATIVE CASE
After working for years as a regional manager for a retail organization, Scott Parry opened
his own business with Susan Gonzalez, one of his district managers, as his partner. They
formed S&S to sell appliances and consumer electronics. Scott and Susan pursued a "clicks
and bricks" strategy by renting a building in a busy part of town and adding an electronic
storefront.
Scott and Susan invested enough money to see them through the first six months. They
will hire 15 employees within the next two weeks-three to stock the shelves, four sales rep-
resentatives, six checkout clerks, and two to develop and maintain the electronic storefront.
Scott and Susan will host S&S's grand opening in five weeks. To meet that deadline, they
have to address the following important issues:
1. What decisions do they need to make to be successful and profitable? For example:
a. How should they price products to be competitive yet earn a profit?
b. Should they extend credit, and, if so, on…

I am having trouble understanding how to calculate the economic and accounting profits for this question. I know that Accounting profit is Revenue - all costs, but based on how this question is phrased, it isn't clear exactly what is being considered revenues and costs incurred. If you could help me understand these calcualations better, that would be great! Thanks!

Below are the study cases referring specific type of cost involved, you are required to state the particular cost item against each case:
a) Mark is considering investing a large sum of money in a land that may be site for future store. Rather than investing the funds in land, company could invest the funds in high grade securities.
b) Excellence company had paid $ 30,000 several years ago for a special purpose machine. The machine was used to make product that is now obsolete in the market and is no longer saleable.

Given the above information on cost, if you charge $15 per entry, what is the breakeven quantity of bags that you should order? At what quantity of bags
will profits be maximized?
Please select any/all correct answers:
Using Qb = F/(MR - AVC) where Qb is the break even quantity, the event would break even at 283 bags.

O Using the profit-maximizing rule, MR 2 MC, the quantity of bags that will maximize profits is 200 bags.
O Using the profit-maximizing rule, MR > MC, the quantity of bags that will maximize profits is 300 bags.
O The break even quantity cannot be determined in this case.

Seastrand Oil Company produces two grades of gasoline: regular and high octane. Both gasolines are produced by blending two types of crude oil. Although both types of crude oil contain the two important ingredients required to produce both gasolines, the percentage of important ingredients in each type of crude oil differs, as does the cost per gallon. The percentage of ingredients A and B in each type of crude oil and the cost per gallon are shown.
