The campaign would cost $5,200. Marketing studies indicate that such a campaign would increase sales in the Medical market by $45,500 or increase sales in the Dental market by $39,000. Required: 1. How much would the company's profits increase (decrease) if it implemented the advertising campaign in the Medical Market? 2. How much would the company's profits increase (decrease) if it implemented the advertising campaign in the Dental Market? 3. In which of the markets would you recommend that the company focus its advertising campaign?

Answer:

1. Medical market $10,725

2. Dental market $14,300

3. Dental market

Explanation:

1. Calculation for How much would the company's profits increase (decrease) in the Medical Market

MEDICAL MARKET

Increase in sales $45,500

Contribution Magin ratio 35%

Increase in contribution margin $15,925

(Medical $45,500*35%=$15,925)

Less increase in Advertisement $5,200

Increase in company profit

$10,725

Based on the above calculation Medical Market profit will increase by $10,725

2. Calculation for How much would the company's profits increase (decrease) in the Dental Market

DENTAL MARKET

Increase in sales $39,000

Contribution Magin ratio 50%

Increase in contribution margin $19,500

(Dental $39,000*50%=$19,500)

Less increase in Advertisement $5,200

Increase in company profit

$14,300

Based on the above calculation Dental Market profit will increase by $14,300

3. Based on the above calculation I would recommend that the company should focus its advertising campaign on DENTAL MARKET because DENTAL MARKET has the highest profit of the amount of $14,300 than Medical market which has a profit of $10,725.

Last week, an investigative reporter for a major metropolitan newspaper discovered that the doctors conducting clinical trials of a new cancer treatment drug are also the principal shareholders in Cancer Solutions Inc.

Asset management ratios are important - firms need to manage assets efficiently because capital obtained to acquire those assets is expensive. These ratios include the: (1) Inventory turnover ratio, (2) Days sales outstanding, (3) Fixed assets turnover, and (4) Total assets turnover. The inventory turnover ratio indicates how many times during the year inventory is -Select- and restocked. Its equation is: Excess inventory is unproductive and represents an investment with a -Select- rate of return. An alternative definition of the inventory turnover ratio replaces sales in the numerator with -Select- . The rationale for this measurement is that inventory is carried at cost, so sales in the numerator overstates the true inventory turnover ratio. The days sales outstanding (DSO) ratio is also called the average collection period (ACP). Its equation is:

Bruce Church, Inc. is a company engaged in extensive commercial farming in Arizona and California. A provision of the Arizona Fruit and Vegetable Standardization Act requires that all cantaloupes grown in Arizona "be packed in regular compact arrangement in closed standard containers approved by the supervisor." Arizona, through its agent Pike, issued an order prohibiting Bruce Church from transporting uncrated cantaloupes from its range in Parker, Arizona, to nearby Blythe, California, for packing and processing. It would take many months and $200,000 for Bruce Church to construct a processing plan int Parker. Further, Bruce Church had $700,000 worth of cantaloupes ready for transportation. Bruce Church filed suit in federal district court challenging the constitutionality of the Arizona statutory provision on shipping cantaloupes. The court issued an injunction (essentially saying the statute was not constitutional) against the enforcement of the act on the grounds that it was an undue hardship on interstate commerce. Answer the following questions: 1. What is the Commerce Clause? 2. Will the Arizona regulation withstand Commerce Clause scrutiny? Why or why not?
