Assume that if the product requested is not in stock,
it needs to be manufactured
before the order handling can continue. In this way, an order can
never be rejected.
To manufacture a product, the required raw materials have to be
ordered. Two
preferred suppliers provide different types of raw material.
Depending on the prod-
uct to be manufactured, raw materials may be ordered from either
Supplier 1 or
Supplier 2, or from both. Once the raw materials are available, the
product can be
manufactured and the order can be confirmed. On the other hand, if
the product
is in stock, it is retrieved from the warehouse before confirming
the order. Then
the process continues normally. After confirming the order, the
shipment address is
received and the requested product is shipped while the invoice is
emitted and the
payment is received. Afterwards, the order is archived and the
process completes.

Assume the current ad spending for company Y is $4,000,000 with a sales of $34,000,000. Company X plans to spend additional $1,000,000 on advertising. It is estimated that the elasticity of ad is .25 for the initial sales increase. Furthermore, from historical data, it is learned that the carry-over effect of such ad is about 30% and the product profit contribution ratio is 35%.
Does it make sense to spend the additional $1,000,000 ? Why or why not? (5 points)
Since 30% carry-over effect is just an estimate and is subject to error. The management wants to do a sensitivity analysis. What should the minimum carry-over effect be to justify (break-even) the $1,000,000 additional spending? (5 points)
