It is still early in the project, but the team has worked hard to gather data to start building their business model. Their objective is to have a one-year model for profit to present at the Business Development Workshop that will be coming up in a couple of weeks. Based on their preliminary interviews, the TDC team has determined that their likely retail price is going to be $10, and they have estimated their segment size to be about 10 million customers. While the team has not reviewed the BASES sales forecasting model in detail in marketing yet, they have been provided with some place holders for the year being considered (Year 2).

Nine years ago, the company introduced “High Flite,†its first line of high-performance golf balls. FIFA management has sought opportunities in whatever businesses seem to have some potential for cash flow. Recently Mr. Dawadawa, vice president of the FIFA Company, identified another segment of the sports ball market that looked promising and that he felt was not adequately served by larger manufacturers. As a result, the FIFA Company investigated the marketing potential of brightly coloured bowling balls. FIFA sent a questionnaire to consumers in three markets: Accra, Kumasi, and Koforidua. The results of the three questionnaires were much better than expected and supported the conclusion that the brightly coloured bowling balls could achieve a 10 to 15 percent share of the market. Of course, some people at FIFA complained about…arrow_forwardHoosier Corporation is an entertainment company that produces and distributes digital content and operates its own amusement parks.

Which of the above environments might pose the most challenges in the next fewyears, and why?arrow_forwardHello, I need help solving this accounting problem.arrow_forwardComputer Graphics (CG) is a small manufacturer of electronic products for computers with graphics capabilities. The company has succeeded by being very innovative in product design. As a spin-off of a large electronics manufacturer (ElecTech), CG management has extensive experience in both marketing and manufacturing in the electronics industry. A long list of equity investors is betting that the firm will really take off because of the growth of specialized graphics software and the increased demand for computers with enhanced graphics capability. A number of market analysts say, however, that the market for the firm’s products is somewhat risky, as it is for many high-tech startups, because of the number of new competitors entering the market and CG’s unproven technology. CG’s main product is a circuit board (CB3668) used in computers with enhanced graphics capabilities. Prices vary depending on the terms of sale and the size of the purchase; the average price for the CB3668 is…arrow_forward
