Differential analysis for sales promotion proposal
Kankakee Cosmetics Company is planning a one-month campaign for December to promote sales of one of its two cosmetics products. A total of $150,000 has been budgeted for advertising, contests, redeemable coupons, and other promotional activities. The following data have been assembled for their possible usefulness in deciding which of the products to select for the campaign:
No increase in facilities would be necessary to produce and sell the increased output. It is anticipated that 40,000 additional units of moisturizer or 30,000 additional units of perfume could be sold from the campaign without changing the unit selling price of either product.
Instructions
- 1. Prepare a differential analysis as of November 2 to determine whether to promote moisturizer (Alternative 1) or perfume (Alternative 2).
- 2. The sales manager had tentatively decided to promote moisturizer estimating that operating income would be increased by $90,000 ($6 operating income per unit times 40,000 units for a total of $240,000, less promotion expenses of $150,000). The manager also believed that the selection of perfume would reduce operating income by $90,000 ($2 operating income per unit times 30,000 units for a total of $60,000, less promotion expenses of $150,000). State briefly your reasons for supporting or opposing the tentative decision.

The company is adding a special aeration treatment as a low-cost extra service option that it hopes will help attract new customers. Management is planning to promote this new service in two media: radio and direct-mail advertising. A media budget of 3,000 is available for this promotional campaign. Based on past experience in promoting its other services, GreenLawns has obtained the following estimate of the relationship between sales and the amount spent on promotion in these two media: S=2R210M28RM+18R+34M, where S = total sales in thousands of dollars R = thousands of dollars spent on radio advertising M = thousands of dollars spent on direct-mail advertising GreenLawns would like to develop a promotional strategy that will lead to maximum sales subject to the restriction provided by the media budget. a. What is the value of sales if 2,000 is spent on radio advertising and 1,000 is spent on direct-mail advertising? b. Formulate an optimization problem that can be solved to maximize sales subject to the media budget of spending no more than 3,000 on total advertising. c. Determine the optimal amount to spend on radio and direct-mail advertising. How much in sales will be generated?arrow_forward
- The Lockit Company manufactures door knobs for residential homes and apartments. Lockit is considering the use of simple (single-driver) and multiple regression analyses to forecast annual sales because previous forecasts have been inaccurate. The new sales forecast will be used to initiate the budgeting process and to identify more completely the underlying process that generates sales. Larry Husky, the controller of Lockit, has considered many possible independent variables and equations to predict sales and has narrowed his choices to four equations. Husky used annual observations from 20 prior years to estimate each of the four equations. Following are definitions of the variables used in the four equations and a statistical summary of these equations: St=ForecastedsalesindollarsforLockitinperiodtSt1=ActualsalesindollarsforLockitinperiodt1Gt=ForecastedU.S.grossdomesticproductinperiodtGt1=ActualU.S.grossdomesticproductinperiodt1Nt1=Lockitsnetincomeinperiodt1 Required: 1. Write Equations 2 and 4 in the form Y = a + bx. 2. If actual sales are 1,500,000 in the current year, what would be the forecasted sales for Lockit in the coming year? 3.
