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

- Barbara Flynn sells papers at a newspaper stand for $0.40. The papers cost her $0.30, giving her a $0.10 profit on each one she sells. From past experience Barbara knows that: a) 20% of the time she sells 150 papers. b) 20% of the time she sells 200 papers. c) 30% of the time she sells 250 papers. d) 30% of the time she sells 300 papers. Assuming that Barbara believes the cost of a lost sale to be $0.05 and any unsold papers cost her $0.30 and she orders 250 papers. Use the following random numbers: 14, 4, 13, 9, and 25 for simulating Barbara's profit. (Note: Assume the random number interval begins at 01 and ends at 00.) Based on the given probability distribution and the order size, for the given random number Barbara's sales and profit are (enter your responses for sales as integers and round all profit responses to two decimal places): Random Number Sales Profit 14 4 13 9 25arrow_forwardA 10% coupon $1,000 par value bond with four years to maturity is currently selling for $900.

- Three years ago you purchased a 12% coupon bond that pays semiannual coupon payments for $986. What would be your bond equivalent yield if you sold the bond for current market price of $1,040?

The machine is now in need of repair. The machineoriginally cost $10,000 and the repair will cost $1,000, but the machine will then last two years.The labor cost of operating the machine is $0.50 per tire. Instead of repairing the old machine,Williams could buy a new machine at a cost of $5,000 that would also last two years; the labor costwould then be reduced to $0.25 per tire. Should Williams repair or replace the machine if it expectsto install 10,000 tires in the next two years?arrow_forwardManagement of the Toys R4U Company needs to decide whether to introduce a certain new novelty toy for the upcoming Christmas season, after which it would be discontinued. The total cost required to produce and market this toy would be $500,000 plus $15 per toy produced. The company would receive revenue of $35 for each toy sold. Assuming that every unit of this toy that is produced is sold, write an expression for the profit in terms of the number produced and sold. Then find the break-even point that this number must exceed to make it worthwhile to introduce this toy. Now assume that the number that can be sold might be less than the number produced. Write an expression for the profit in terms of these two numbers. Formulate a spreadsheet that will give the profit in part b for any values of the two numbers. Write a mathematical expression for the constraint that the number produced should not exceed the number that can be sold.arrow_forward
- Your answer is partially correct. An independent contractor for a transportation company needs to determine whether she should upgrade the vehicle she currently owns or trade her vehicle in to lease a new vehicle. If she keeps her vehicle, she will need to invest in immediate upgrades that cost $5,200 and it will cost $1,300 per year to operate at the end of year that follows. She will keep the vehicle for 5 years; at the end of this period, the upgraded vehicle will have a salvage value of $3,800. Alternatively, she could trade in her vehicle to lease a new vehicle. She estimates that her current vehicle has a trade-in value of $9,800 and that there will be $4,100 due at lease signing. She further estimates that it will cost $2,900 per year to lease and operate the vehicle. The independent contractor's MARR is 11%.

We are thinking of opening a small copy shop. It costs us $5000 to rent a copier for a year. It costs us $0.03 per copy to operate the copier. Other fixed costs of running the store amount to $400 per month. We charge an average of $0.10 per copy. We are open 365 days per year. Each copier can make up to 100,000 copies per year. Formulate a model for annual profit.a. Create a two-way table for 1 to 5 copiers rented and daily demands of 500, 1000, 1500, and 2000 copies per day. That is, compute annual profit for each of these combinations of copiers rented and daily demand.b. If we rent three copiers, what daily demand for copies will allow us to break even?c. Using the data table from part a, chart profit as a function of the number of copiers; for a daily demand of 500 copies, and for a daily demand of 2000 copies. Show both lines on the same chart.
