A common consumer concern is that retailers will not stand behind the promises they make in advertisements. Explain, via an analysis, the principals associated with consumer protection laws. Include the answers to the following questions. Should Pepsi have been required to provide the promised prize in this contest (or the financial equivalent) or should the customer (John Leonard) have known that it was an example of "puffery" and that winning a Harrier Jet was not a realistic prize option? How should a court resolve a matter like this, what should Pepsi's obligations be, and what if anything should John Leonard have received for his trouble?

Read the Chapter 14 Case Study "MRP at Wheeled Coach Ambulance" which is below then write a summary of at least 300 words using the accompanying discussion questions to guide your essay written in APA style, with a reference page and a cover page. APA requires double space.
This was the discussion question (Identify five specific requirements of an effective MRP system)
This below is the case study
Wheeled Coach, the world’s largest manufacturer of ambulances, builds thousands of different and constantly changing configurations of its products. The custom nature of its business means lots of options and special designs – and a potential scheduling and inventory nightmare. Wheeled coach addressed such problems, and succeeded in solving a lot of them, with an MRP system (described in the Global Company Profile that opens this chapter). As with most MRP installations, however, solving one set of problems uncovers a new set. One of the new issues that had to be addressed by plant manager Lynn Whalen was newly discovered a substantial amount of inventory that was not called for in any finished products. Excess inventory was evident because of the new level of inventory accuracy required by the MRP system. The other reason was a new series of inventory reports generated by the IBM MAPICS MRP system purchased by Wheeled Coach. One of those reports indicates where items are used and is known as the “Where Used” report. Interestingly, many inventory items were not called out on bills of material (BOMs) for any current products. In some cases, the reason some parts were in the stockroom remained a mystery. The discovery of this excess inventory led to renewed efforts to ensure that the BOMs were accurate. With substantial work, BOM accuracy increased and the number of engineering change notices(ECNs) decreased. Similarly, purchase order accuracy, with regard to both part numbers and quantities ordered, was improved. Additionally, receiving department and stockroom accuracy went up, all helping to maintain schedule, cost, and ultimately, shipping dates and quality. Eventually, Lynn Whalen concluded that the residual amounts of excess inventory were the results, at least in part, of rapid changes in ambulance design and technology. Another source was customer changes made after specifications had been determined and materials ordered. This latter excess occurs because, even though Wheeled Coach’s throughput time is only 17 days, many of the items that it purchases require much longer lead time.

This is one big question with different parts!
I expect to need four turkeys to feed my 20 Thanksgiving guests. However, spiking the eggnog (adding alcohol) with bourbon will induce my Thanksgiving guests to eat 25% less turkey. Turkeys cost $30 each, and the bourbon needed costs $20. How much money do I save if I spike the eggnog? A. $0 B. $10 C. $30 D.$120
How cheap would turkeys have to be (per turkey) for me to not have the incentive to spike the eggnog? A. free B. $10 C. $15 D. $20
A monopoly retailer makes a 50% margin on the $30 turkeys. Is there a price for the bourbon that the retailer can set (for the amount of bourbon needed to spike the turkeys) such that I will purchase the bourbon and the retailer will want to sell it, if the wholesale price of the bourbon is $10? (Assume the only added value from spiking the eggnog is from the reduced cost of turkey and that this type of bourbon is only used to spike eggnog).

Demand for stereo headphones and MP3 players for joggers has caused Nina Industries to grow almost 50 percent over the past year.
