Revenue and Production
BERGERAC CASE STUDY
Summary
The purpose of this report is to analyze the opportunity to produce plastic components for cartridge production and choose the best alternative. It is predicted that the annual demand growth is a triangular distribution with a minimum of 5%, most likely of 17% and a maximum of 25%. Due to the continuous growth in the demand, the alternatives cannot be compared using just the data for 2010. An analysis is carried out for the time period 2011 to 2015 and the present worth of the net income is considered as the criteria to select the alternative. The analysis basically can be divided into 5 steps: * Forecasting demand for next five years, * Estimating capacity required, * Developing production strategy, * Calculate the operating expenses for the alternatives, * Select the alternative based on the present worth of net income.
From the estimated installed base of 7500 OmniVue instruments at the end of year 2010, the demand for the OmniVue instruments and cartridges are forecasted. There is a new product OmniVue mobile, ready to be launched in year 2013. It is assumed that the OmniVue mobile can be accounted for 30% of the demand for Instruments in year 2013, 50% in year 2014 and 60% in year 2015. The growth in demand for the OmniVue instrument is assumed to decrease after the release of OmniVue mobile.
It is estimated that the production capacity of Bergerac to produce OmniVue instruments is approximately 2000 units per year with a production of 5 days per week. It is inferred that using level strategy, the probability that the demand is not met in the next five years is 5.74%. There is no need to increase the capacity of the production line apart from changes required when the OmniVue mobile is released.
There are various strategies which are compared in build option. For each production strategy, the optimum solution for the capacities in each year is found out. After finding the optimum solutions, the

    Energy Gel Case Summary

    • 482 Words
    • 2 Pages

    HPC is deciding on whether or not to launch a new product line. Furthermore, if the company decided to proceed with the project, then the new product, Energy Gel, should be evaluated. The Energy Gel case describes three approaches in order to estimate project costs which are direct cost advocated by Harry Wickler, full cost supported by Mark Leiter, and equipment based costing supported by Frank Nanzen. The direct costing basis only considers the variable costs that are directly identified with the Energy Gel project. However, it ignores many costs or benefits including cannibalization of the existing Energy bar product, use of valuable excess capacity, and the possible increases in the overhead expenses. On the other hand, in full costing basis, Leiter considers the project as a stand-alone entity, which ignores benefits from the use of excess capacity and fixed cost activities. Lastly, the equipment- based costing by Nanzen proposes that Wickler…

    Zoëcon Corporation should commercialize the Strike Roach Ender brand by expanding distribution to the 19 cities market area in the Southeast United States. Followings are my justifications based on the decision factors in the case for the recommendation.Profit Potential. First of all, Strike Roach Ender products are packaged in two different ways which are 10-oz aerosol and 6-oz fogger and they account for 66% and 34% of total sales in test market respectively. From the first part of table 1, the weighted average unit price and contribution for the product are calculated as $3.02 and $1.66, which means that the expense $1,478,000. It seems that it is not wise to introduce the product into a larger market which covers 19 cities, but a forecast of the sales and profit of the 19 cities market is necessary. Table 2 shows the result of forecasting and the total contribution in the bigger market which is $5,149,320. Let us assume that the costs of up-front investment in market research, setup/auditing, and public relations campaign don’t have to be repeated in the expanded distribution, so the major cost will be the promotion and advertising. Assuming the expenditure is based on a per city approach, the total spending would be $4,064,000. Therefore, Zoëcon can get a profit of $1,085,320. Comparing the profit and marketing Roach Ender are less toxic, which means less harmful to human and animal comparing with other compounds typically used in household insecticides, and long-standing effect, which is due to the fact that it affects the reproductive cycle of an insect. The features of Strike Roach Ender perfectly meet what the consumer wants in the market. When the product is introduced to a larger market, there will be more potential consumers.…
