- Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. Is Ben Gibson acting legally? Is he acting ethically? Why or why not?Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner.

- Alar is a manager at Shoeless Joe's Sports Bar and Grill and was approached by a hockey team asking for sponsorship. Sponsorship would mean purchasing 18 jerseys for the team BUT would see the team visit the restaurant on a regular basis. • The EXPECTED RETURNS for the restaurant from these visits would be Gross Sales of $2,000 per year for an expected five years. (Assume the restaurants profit margin on food/alcohol sales is 40%, so USE NET PROFIT of $800 per year for all calculations). Further, the jerseys would have the Shoeless Joe's logo and act as advertising (a goodwill function in accounting), BUT this is not considered in the calculations. Alar remembers something about CLTV in college and wants to calculate the CLTV using different methods on ONLY the future expected business from the team ($800 per year) (ignore advertising or goodwill from the jerseys). Determine: a) The CLTV of the team for "five years" using the "Easy Method". b) The CLTV of the team using the "Simple…Lea Ray is the revenue manager at the 200-room Hilton Garden Inn.

- 4.) After 10 years of production, the chemical manufacturing plant has become very successful. Because of its success, a great demand for products came as many consumers wanted the company to sell them their products. To meet the demand, three alternatives were considered. Work overtime to meet demands. Annual overtime expenses are $500,000. Expand the plant to accommodate more production. Fixed annual expenses are $2,500,000. Make a contract with another company to produce additional products at a rate of $1,000,000. The cost of manufacturing products from the three alternatives are $3500, $3000 and $3250 per unit respectively. The plant sells every unit made regardless of how they were made at $15,000 per unit. The expected demand for the product is 150 units with a probability of 50% 250 units with a probability of 35% 350 units with a probability of 7.5% 400 units with a probability of 5% 500 units with a probability of 2.5%a) For an upcoming red carpet evening, a company is selling tickets at $60 per person at a large theatre which has a capacity of 10,000 people. Each attendant is expected to buy $12 of food and merchandise at the film evening. The cost of providing the food and merchandise is estimated to be $5 per person. All other ancillary services will be provided by the theatre. Initial analysis indicates that the ancillary cost of providing food and merchandise, as well as the staff needed to handle ticket sales, may be described as a semi-variable cost. Data on these costs and tickets sold from three similar events held at the venue have been collected and are tabulated below: Tickets Sold Cost ($) 2100 6640 3824 11284 4650 13525 Use the high-low method to estimate the total cost function relating to these ancillary costs. b) The company will be renting the theatre which will host the upcoming red carpet evening.

- A food processing plant consumes 600,000 kW-hr of electrical energy annually and pays an average of P 2.00 per kW-hr. A study is being made to generate its own power to supply the plant the energy required. The power plant installed, costs P 2,000,000; annual operation and maintenance, P 800, 000; other expenses, P 100,000 per year. The life of the plant is 15 years; salvage value at the end of life is P 200,000; annual taxes and insurance 6% of first cost, and the rate of interest is 15 %. Using the sinking fund method for depreciation, determine the ROR of the power plant.Hotel Galway is a 50 room Boutique hotel in a pop-ular city break destination in Ireland.
