What is the price the manufacturer (Lisa’s company) charges the wholesaler?

Marketing Management MKT 520-Spring 2022 Quantitative Analysis1

Lisa, a perceptive student in the SCSU MBA program, noted the popularity of the HP- 12c calculators used by students in her finance classes. She also saw that certain business school professors doggedly carried these calculators around for decades like some kind of religious talisman. She saw an opportunity and decided to start a company selling accessories that support the HP-12c lifestyle and that make the lives of HP-12c lovers more enjoyable and fulfilling.

Lisa is considering several products to include in her initial line:

Carrying case: Made from genuine leather and spandex. Comes in a variety of colors. Clips to belt or purse to keep the HP-12c always close at hand.

The carrying case would be sold to the end consumer for $39.99. Lisa will not sell directly to the consumer, but will use a wholesaler who will sell to a retailer (e.g., university book stores). The retailer’s margin is 50% and the wholesaler’s margin is 12%. The fixed cost involved in manufacturing the cases is $280,000 and the variable costs are $6.25 per case. Lisa is considering an advertising budget of $300,000. Miscellaneous variable costs (e.g., shipping and handling) paid by Lisa’s company come to $0.08 per case. Lisa has decided to use sales people to encourage adoption by wholesalers, and the sales people will be paid entirely by a 10% commission on the manufacturer’s (i.e., Lisa’s) selling price. The product manager’s salary is $65,000.

1. What is the price the manufacturer (Lisa’s company) charges the wholesaler? 2. What is the manufacturer’s (Lisa’s) unit margin (contribution/profit per unit

excluding fixed costs) for the cases (in $)? 3. How many units must be sold to turn a profit?

After conducting an extensive market-sizing study, Lisa’s best guess is that she is likely to sell 82,000 cases her first year. This projection is based on the price, advertising and sales support listed above. Lisa is considering several possible changes to her marketing plan to try and increase her sales over the 82,000 baseline.

4. How much profit will Lisa’s company earn if she sells 82,000 cases?

Deborah enters your office ready to discuss the project. She discusses her feedback on the plan thus far. She states that your team is doing an excellent job researching and you’ve been keeping her up-to-date on your findings.
