This is taken from a study of biscuit manufacture in ten (10) British and eight (8) German firms. The type of biscuits produced varied greatly between the two (2) countries, largely owing to national tastes and demand. In Britain demand concentrated on relatively basic biscuits: either plan or with simple coating of chocolate, cream or jam. In Germany, there was a much higher demand for decorated and multi-textured products (soft biscuits with jam filling in chocolate cases or layered variegated biscuits). Since this affected the type of biscuits each firm produced, it was difficult to measure and compare output and productivity between the British and German factories. An examination of crude output figures indicated that at the British factories employees were 25 percent more productive than German employees largely because British firms produced large quantities of simple low quality biscuits. However, when productivity figures were adjusted to consider quality, the German…

The Marketing Manager of Dotcom Limited has conducted a market research on the price-demand relationship for its consumer durable Product-V which has been recently launched. The price-demand pattern will be as follows: Price per unit (Rs.) 16.650 16.050 14.400 13.050 Product-V is manufactured in batches of 1.000 units. The production manager of Dotcom Limited has also researched and studies the pattern and believes that 50% of the variable manufacturing cost would have a learning effect. This learning curve effect will continue up to 4.000 units of production at constant rate But after 4.000 units of production unit variable manufacturing cost would be equal to the unit cost at the 4 batch. The manufacturing unit cost of the first batch will be Rs. 6.600 of which only 50% is subjected to learning and experience curve effect. The average unit variable of all 4 batches will be Rs 6.180 The price and maximum contribution at which Dotcom Limited should sell Product-V is: Rs.14,400, Rs.…

1) Describe a scenario that you have encountered recently as a consumer where a business has either under forecast or iver forecast demand for a product that you were planning to purchase. You will generally notice under forecasting if the product is out of stock or over forecasting if there is excess inventory for the item. Describe the imolications to the retailer,manufacturer, and broader supply chain. You can present your response through thr lens of your own discpline (accounting,mafketing,etc.) if you wish. 2) Give three examples from your life in which you may forecast the future. Highlight the importance of accurate forecasting in the three examples you provide.

Hair Zone manufactures a brand of hair-styling gel. It is considering adding a modifiedversion of the product—a foam that provides stronger hold. Hair Zone’s variable costs and prices to wholesalers are: Current Hair Gel New Foam Product Unit selling price 2.00 2.25 Unit variable costs . 85 1.25Hair Zone expects to sell 1 million units of the new styling foam in the first year after introduction, but it expects that 60% of those sales will come from buyers who normally purchase Hair Zone’s styling gel. Hair Zone estimates that it would sell 1.5 million units of the gel if it did not introduce the foam. If the fixed cost of launching the new foam will be $100,000 during the first year, should Hair Zone add the newproduct to its line? Why or why not?
