The Northwoods General Store
The Northwoods General Store in Vermont sells various outdoor clothing items and equipment and
several food products at its modern but rustic-looking retail store. Its food products include salmon
and maple syrup. The store also runs a lucrative catalog operation. One of its most popular products
is maple syrup, sold in metal half-gallon cans with a picture of the store on the front.
Maple syrup was one of the first products the store produced and sold, and it continues to do so.
Setting up the syrup-making equipment to produce a batch of syrup costs $450. Storing the syrup for
sales throughout the year is tricky because the syrup must be kept in a temperature-controlled facility.
The annual cost of carrying a gallon of syrup is $15. Based on past sales data, the store has
forecasted demand of 7,500 gallons of maple syrup for the coming year. The store can produce
approximately 100 gallons of syrup per day during the maple syrup season, from February…

- Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. Is Ben Gibson acting legally? Is he acting ethically? Why or why not?arrow_forwardScenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner.

There are two major suppliers of chips – AirBoxChips and SoftChips. AirBoxChips is a relatively big company and has a good reputation in terms of reliability and delivery. As it is a big company, it provides supply guarantee and sells its products with a higher price. Specifically, it charges $1.20 for each chip that it sells. SoftChips is small company having limited capacity. Even though it charges $0.90 for each chip that it sells, it does not provide supply guarantee. If it is a low-demand year, Softchips is able to satisfy Morton’s demand fully. However, if it is a high-demand year, it allocates only 90,000 chips for the purchase of Morton. If Morton cannot purhcase chips from its contracted supplier, it buys chips on the spot market. Spot market prices for chips are $2.00 per unit in a low-demand year and $4.00 per unit in a high-demand year. Demand in chips has a 75%…arrow_forward

Intercontinental is known for its luxurious rooms and buildings and for the high quality of its staff training. The hotels are not the standardized, but they reflect local styles and circumstances. For example, the Intercontinental in Lusaka, Zambia has a dinning room which is open to the gardens and swimming pool on one side so the guests effectively eat in the open air. This would obviously be impossible in a colder climate, but guests enjoy the tropical atmosphere and the hotel is often used for business meetings as a result. Intercontinental provides up-market accommodation for international travelers. The bulk of the guests are business people so the hotels provide excellent business facilities, including meeting rooms, conference centers, secretarial services, fax machines, internet facilities and a concierge desk. For people staying at these hotels, cost is very much less important than the level of service comfort. A…arrow_forward
- Emily works for a small software company and oversees software quality assurance. The company recently developed an inventory control system for a national clothing manufacturer. The system gathers sales information on an hourly basis from clothing retailers nationwide. This information is then used by all departments (including the accounting, shipping, and ordering departments) to control the functions of the clothing manufacturer. Emily suspects that the inventory functions of the system are not sufficiently tested, although they have passed all their contracted (legal) tests. However, she is pressured by her employers to sign off on the software. Whilst she is only required to perform tests which have been agreed to in the original contract, her considerable experience in software testing has led her to be concerned over the quality of the system. Her employers say that they will go out of business if they do not deliver the software on time. Emily knows that if any section of…arrow_forwardThe 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.…arrow_forwardArts N Crafts Industries manufacturers high-end lightfixtures, which it sells internationally. The company is re-sponsible for paying for shipping its product to a distributorlocated in Atlanta, Georgia. Due to the high cost of ship-ping, the company is considering shipping its productsunassembled, but will include detailed assembly instruc-tions in each package. By shipping unassembled products,Arts N Crafts will be able to shrink the size of its cartons andthereby increase the number of products per pallet from16 (4 rows of 4) to 25 (5 rows of 5). Note that this changewill not appreciably increase each product’s 8-pound ship-ping weight. Furthermore, since individual fixtures will bepacked more tightly, they will be less susceptible to damageand easier to handle. Thus, the company expects the freightclass to decrease from 85 to 70.

- Rajan wanted a radio from Jacky's. It appears that Rajan is particularly interested in purchasing a Radio from the inexpensive retailer's sales manager for consumer electronics. He tells Jacky, the salesperson at the inexpensive store where he thinks he'll get the best deal, that his old radio died and he wants to listen to his favourite tunes. He wants a replacement radio as quickly as possible. In three and a half weeks, Rajan's favourite model will be 10% off.He suspects Rajan won't wait and will find another job. Jacky will earn less on the lowered price. He thinks that telling Rajan of the sale makes little sense.When Jacky tells Rajan that the radio set he wants is no longer available and won't be for another week, Rajan is enraged. Fearing losing the business, Jacky begs his sales manager, Michelle, to speed up delivery. Michelle says it's impossible and suggests Jacky tell Rajan the store can get the set in 24 hours and sell him the demo model.
