The intangibility of the service means that:

- advertising or other forms of promotion are of little importance to the services marketer.

- unused capacity cannot be shifted from one time period to another.

- the value of a service may be based on a customer’s experience.

- new products may pass through a life cycle stage quickly, virtually skipping it.

- products spend a predetermined amount of time in each stage of the life cycle; this time span is determined

- all products begin at the introductory stage and move through the life cycles stages at a steady rate

Retail assortments are looking more and more alike because:

- customers today are more focused on service differentiation

- national-brand manufacturers have placed their products almost everywhere

- market segmentation has proven ineffective

Spiffy Shades Corporation manufactures artistic frames for sunglasses. Talia Demarest, controller, is responsible for preparing the company’s master budget. In compiling the budget data for 20x1, Demarest has learned that new automated production equipment will be installed on March 1. This will reduce the direct labor per frame from 4.0 hours to 3.75 hours.

Labor-related costs include pension contributions of $1.55 per hour, workers’ compensation insurance of $1.25 per hour, employee medical insurance of $5 per hour, and employer contributions to Social Security equal to 6.00 percent of direct-labor wages. The cost of employee benefits paid by the company on its employees is treated as a direct-labor cost. Spiffy Shades Corporation has a labor contract that calls for a wage increase to $21.00 per hour on April 1, 20x1. Management expects to have 26,000 frames on hand at December 31, 20x0, and has a policy of carrying an end-of-month inventory of 100 percent of the following month’s sales plus 40 percent of the second following month’s sales.

These and other data compiled by Demarest are summarized in the following table.
