Simulation
Requesting help with understanding the use of CVP analysis
to inform the pricing of 3 products in order for me to be able to write a
discussion paper.
SCENARIO CONTINUATION:
You’ve now completed part 2 , and it the date is (once
again) January 1, 2016.
You turn on the TV, and once again, the local television
news anchor is talking about events that occurred on January 1, 2012.
Your decision-making process will be different this time, as
you will be using CVP analysis, a technique with which you recently became
familiar.You analyze the results of the decisions you made in SLP2. But this
time, you aim to improve your Final Total Score by using the CVP Calculator to
help you determine a new and improved strategy.
(I have attached part 1&2)
You analyze your SLP2 results using CVP and develop your
complete four-year strategy, again taking notes, documenting your reasoning.You
finish the report that shows your revised strategy for the next four years.Do
not run the simulation yet! Simply do the written report.
in 6- to 7-page can you help me in which you use the results
from SLP2 and CVP analysis to develop a revised strategy.
1.The revised strategy should consist of the Prices, R&D
Allocation %, and any product discontinuations for the X5, X6, and X7 tablets
for each of the four years: 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.
2.present a rational justification for this strategy. In
other words, provide clear and logical support for your proposed strategy using
financial analysis and relevant business theories.
3.You need to crunch some numbers (CVP Analysis) to help you
determine your prices and R&D allocations.
5.Make sure all of your proposed changes are firmly grounded
in CVP analysis, on the financial and market data provided you, and on sound
business principles.
6.Present your analysis professionally, making strategic use
of tables, charts, and graphs.
1st Scenario
•2015: Hired on December 15.
•Turned first report in to Sally on December 30th.
2nd Scenario
•Time Warp 1 begins: January 1, 2016 warps into January 1,
2012.
•You realize you have to make decisions for 2012 – 2015,
which you do.
•December 31, 2015 – You have gone through all four years,
and you write your report to summarize how you did.
this Scenario•Despite your efforts in SLP2, you are once
again taken back to January 1, 2012. You decide to use CVP analysis to revise
the four-year plan you developed in SLP2. You analyze the results of your
decisions from SLP2, taking detailed notes. You use the CVP Calculator to help
develop your revised strategy, taking additional notes explaining the logic
your decisions.
