Given Virgin Mobile’s target marketing (14 to 24-year olds), how should it structure its pricing?

 

Please find attached Virgin Mobile case and answer

REQUIRED COMPONENTS

1. Summarize the relevant points

2. Summarize the business problem / crisis faced by the marketing manager.

3. Analyze / gain insights from included data.

4. Describe possible decisions.

5. Declare what you find to be the best solution / based on the nuances situation, your analysis

“GOOD BECOMES GREAT” COMPONENTS

1. Generalize the case to decisions made in competing companies, similar industries, or completely different sectors of the economy.

2. Prognosticate the future for this kind of case in the future.

3. Make some determination about how changes in the social, political, legal, or technological sphere will affect this industry or the decision faced.

4. Write from the experience of your own experiences in industry.

Analyze the case study and answer these questions along with required components and “GOOD BECOMES GREAT” components.

1. Given Virgin Mobile’s target marketing (14 to 24-year olds), how should it structure its pricing? The case lays out three pricing options. Which option would you choose and why? In designing your pricing plan, be as specific as possible with respect to the various elements under considerations (e.g., contracts, the size of the subsidies, hidden fees, average per-minute charges, etc.)

2. How confident are you that the plan you have designed will be profitable? Provide evidence of the financial viability of your pricing strategy.

3. The cellular industry is notorious for high customer dissatisfaction. Despite the existence of service contracts, the big carriers churn roughly 24% of their customer each year. Clearly, there is very little loyalty in this market. What is the source of all this dissatisfaction? How have the various pricing variables (contracts, pricing buckets, hidden fees, off-peak hours, etc.) affected the consumer experience? Why haven’t the big carriers responded more aggressively to customer dissatisfaction?

4. What do you think of Virgin Mobile’s value proposition (the VirginXtras, etc.)? What do you think of its channel and merchandising strategy? 5. Do you agree with Virgin Mobile’s target market selection? What are the risks associated with targeting this segment? Why have the major carriers been slow to target this segment?

Derive a Solow-Growth model and describe the intuition of the equation.

There are 4 questions on this exam.
• The total score for the Long-answer part of the exam is 40, so the score for each question is
10.
• You can use the textbook or google, but the answer must be in your own word. If I find that
more than two students have the same answer, I have to give you a zero on that question.
• You must show your work. If I don’t see any explanation for your answer, you will lose a lot
of credit. On the other hand, if you have a wrong answer because of a miscalculation even if
you take the right steps, you will get almost full credit.
• Good Luck!
Question 1. Suppose we have the following short-run model. Resource constrain is
Yt = Ct + It + Gt + EXt − IMt
Where Yt
is economy output, Ct
is consumption. It
is investment. Gt
is government purchase. EXt
is exports. IMt
is imports. Government purchase depends on the current state of the economy. For
example, when there is an economic recession, the government will spend more money to support
the economy. To incorporate this intuition, we will use the following equations. Also, we will
incorporate the consumption multiplier effects.
Ct
Y¯
t
= a¯c + x¯cY˜
t
Gt
Y¯
t
= a¯g + x¯gY˜
t
EXt = a¯exY¯
t
IMt = a¯imY¯
t
It
Y¯
t
= a¯i − ¯b(R¯
t − r¯)
a. Derive IS curve, and draw IS curve. (x-axis: Y˜ , y-axis: R(real interest rate)) What are the
slope and the y-intercept?
b. Suppose the multiplier effects for the government purchase changed(xg increase). What is the
impact of this change?
1
c. Assume, MP(monetary policy) curve is a horizontal line. Suppose, there is a negative demand
shock on consumption. (ac decrease) What is the impact of this shock? What is the response
of the federal reserve? Use the IS-MP curve graph to explain the impact of this shock.
d. Continue with the previous question. Explain how the change in inflation (∆π) changes when
there is a negative shock on consumption. (Use Philips Curve)
Question 2. Consider following Philips Curve.
∆πt = ν¯Y˜
t + o¯
a. Draw Philips curve. (x-axis: Y˜
t
, y-axis: ∆π) What is the slope and y-intercept of the curve?
b. What is the impact of the ν¯ change? Should government perform a more aggressive policy to
stabilize the inflation rate with high ν¯ or low ν¯? If so, why?
c. Suppose there is an inflation shock because a war increased oil prices. (o¯>0) What is the
impact of the oil price shock? (Use Philips curve graph)
Question 3. Consider policy rule, IS curve, and Philips curve
P olicy rule ∶ Rt − r¯ = m¯ (πt − π¯)
IS curve ∶ Y˜
t =
1
1 − x¯c
[a¯ − ¯b(Rt − r¯)]
P hilips curve ∶ πt = πt−1 + ν¯Y˜
t + o¯
a. Derive Aggregate Demand(AD) and Aggregate Supply(AS) curve, and draw AD and AS curve.
What is the slope and y-intercept for AS and AD curve?
b. Find steady state inflation, π
∗
, and output Y˜ ∗
c. Suppose there is a positive and temporary demand shock, because of the new technology
development. (a¯>0) What is the impact of this shock?
Question 4. Consider a production function
Yt = F(Kt
, Lt) = AK¯ α
t L
1−α
t
(1)
and the resource constraint
Yt = Ct + It + Gt (2)
and the capital accumulation equation
Kt+1 = It + (1 − ¯d)Kt (3)
Consumers consume a certain fraction of the output so the consumption equation is
Ct = (1 − s¯)Yt (4)
The government spending Gt
is a fraction of capital stock, so with the higher capital stock, there
is more government spending.
Gt = gK¯ t (5)
Assume there is no population growth, so Lt = Lt+1 = L¯
2
a. Derive a Solow-Growth model and describe the intuition of the equation.
b. What is the key assumption in this model
c. Find the steady state per-worker quantities of capital, output, and consumption
d. Draw the Solow model (the x-axis is Capital stock, the y-axis is output)
e. Suppose there was a big government spending. Therefore, g¯ increased. What is the new
steady state per-worker quantities of capital, output, and consumption?
