Analysis of growth, price-recovery, and productivity components (continuation of 12-25 and 12-26). Suppose that during 2017, the market for Stanmore’s special-purpose machines grew by 3%. All increases in market share (that is, sales increases greater than 3%) are the result of Stanmore’s strategic actions.
Calculate how much of the change in operating income from 2016 to 2017 is due to the industry-market-size factor product differentiation and cost leadership. How successful has Stanmore been in implementing its strategy? Explain.

Wolsey Industries Inc. expects to maintain the same inventories at the end of 2016 as at
the beginning of the year. The total of all production costs for the year is therefore assumed
to be equal to the cost of goods sold. With this in mind, the various department heads
were asked to submit estimates of the costs for their departments during the year.

- Suppose you are analyzing a firm that is successfully executing a strategy that differentiates its products from those of its competitors. Because of this strategy, you project that next year the firm will generate 6.0% revenue growth from price increases and 3.0% revenue growth from sales volume increases. Assume that the firms production cost structure involves strictly variable costs. (That is, the cost to produce each unit of product remains the same.) Should you project that the firms gross profit will increase next year? If you project that the gross profit will increase, is the increase a result of volume growth, price growth, or both? Should you project that the firms gross profit margin (gross profit divided by sales) will increase next year? If you project that the gross profit margin will increase, is the increase a result of volume growth, price growth, or both?arrow_forwardThe marketing department of Metroline Manufacturing estimates that its sales in 2016 will be $1.68 million.
