Damen Ship Repair has just introduced a new service. For a fixed annual fee, Damen will predict what are the most likely repair parts you will need for each of your cargo ships over the next year. It will then preposition those parts either on your ships or at Damen’s shipyards depending on whether your crew can install that part or it must be done at a shipyard. Then all you pay for is the installation labor you actually use each year, which also comes at a discounted rate. a) Specify the key features and benefits that they would want to inform customers about b) Develop an integrated marketing communication plan for marketing the service

Mamma Temte bakes six pies a day that cost $2 each to produce. On 31% of the days she sells only two pies. On 39% of the days, she sells 4 pies, and on the remaining 30% of the days, she sells all six pies. If Mama Temte sells her pies for $5 each, what is her expected profit for a dayʹs worth of pies? [Assume that any leftover pies are given away.]

The fixed expenses of the entire company were $41,160. If the sales mix were to shift toward the Turkey Burgers product line with total sales volume remaining constant at 20,000, the overall break-even point for the entire company:
The local supermarket buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. Each morning, any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals. This week, the supermarket can buy fresh lettuce for $8.00 a box. The lettuce is sold for $16.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $1.80 a box. Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 245 boxes with a standard deviation of 38 boxes. How many boxes of lettuce should the supermarket purchase tomorrow? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given a-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Number of boxes
