Homer and the Introduction of the BartoQ9


Homer Industries, a Springfield, OR company, plans to introduce its new line of Digital Watches. The company has invested $7,250,000 in R&D to develop its most recent product, The BartoQ9.

Mr. Smithers, the company CEO, has asked you for guidance in lieu of the manufacturing options available at this time and the distribution agreement that he signed 2 days ago. Homer Industries has not reached a decision about where to manufacture the product to enter the US market for Christmas 2018. The following information is available.

Manufacturing options

A) Juarez Mexico. The Beechos SA de CV can manufacture up to 50,000 units this year. Its proposal involves charging MXN400 per unit plus an initial set-up cost of MXN550,000. This set-up cost is payable immediately and Homer needs to incur in this cost regardless of the number of units that the plant will produce. Then, Homer needs to pay $25 for shipping and handling to get the product in Homer distribution centers in the US. [note: MXN refers to Mexican Pesos, the exchange rate between US dollars and Mexican pesos is US$1= MXN 20, assume that the exchange rate will not change during the year]

B) Marion, Arkansas. The Wolvies can manufacture up to 65,000 units this year. The company charges US$65 per manufactured unit plus an initial set-up cost of US25,000. Similar to Beechos, the set-up cost is payable immediately and it is not related to the number of units that the plant produces this year or next year. In addition, Homer needs to pay about $1.25 per unit in shipping and handling to have the product ready for distribution throughout the US by Nov 27 (no delivery possible before this day). There are no other costs. Prices and delivery dates cannot be changed.

Managerial situations

Homer’s management team has negotiated an exclusive agreement with Nilhaus LLC to use its stores for launching the product. A promotion involves selling the BartoQ9 at a price of US$198 (taxes included). Nilhaus will take a 25% cut (or margin) for receiving and delivering the products to all the stores, and selling the watch to all the interested parties. Homer will pay US$750,000 for its share in the marketing campaign. Also, the agreement between Homer and Nilhaus implies the following:

    Homer needs to deliver 40,000 units by Oct 22 so Nilhaus can stock its stores before Black Friday.
    Homer needs to deliver a second shipment of 50,000 by Nov 28


Questions

1. Please tell me how will Homer design its manufacturing orders to meet Nilhaus’ contract? (hint: check $cost per unit in each location to arrive at better conclusions because you have 2 options on Nov order)

2. Given the information provided above, and your answer to Q1 what are the total costs in US$’s (manufacturing, R&D, marketing, delivery, etc.) for the 90,000 units that Homer expects to sell in the US for Christmas 2018?

3. Please estimate the total $ revenues that Homer will achieve by selling the 90,000 units to Nilhaus

4. Does Homer be able to make a profit with this product after its launching in the US? In other words, what will be the total profit –or loss- of this project?

5. What is the break even point? (Or, how many units does Homer needs to sell to compensate all the costs)

Select a funeral home in your area and obtain permission from the director to interview an employee about the costs, concerns, and arrangements that have to be made when making funeral arrangements in advance of a person's death. (Most directors will be willing to give you copy of their typical itemized cost sheet.) Make an appointment with that person, being sure to let him or her know that this is research for a paper rather than an actual pre-arrangement. Here are some questions you might want to consider:

  • What is the cost of the average funeral at this time?
  • What is your best prediction for the cost of a funeral five years from now? Ten years from now?
  • Are there any costs that cannot be paid in advance?
  • What happens to the money you pay in advance? How is it stored, used, etc.?
  • What does "irrevocable trust" mean?
  • What advantages or disadvantages are inherent in advanced payment?
  • Should turn in a detailed summary of your questions and the answers to those questions, as well as your conclusions about the wisdom and/or difficulties of making arrangements in advance.

This does in fact have all of the needed information to complete this question. Thanks

Nutritional assessment of the nutrition process, based on data derived from the interview with Kathy and Samantha's doctor's records. Samantha is a healthy eight-month-old newborn who lives with her mother Kathy, her father, and her older sister, who is almost three years old. Both parents currently work full-time, so they take girls to day care around the clock. Kathy breastfed Samantha before returning to work and booked a contribution of frozen breast milk. Now he breastfeeds her twice a day, early in the morning and before Samantha falls asleep. In the nursery, the girl drinks breast milk with a bottle. The nursery team reports that the girl shows good behavior. However, when Kathy picks her up after work, Samantha wishes they would carry her and not sit in her high chair or the one she uses to eat. If they don't load it, it cries. Samantha's sister wants to be fed as soon as she gets home. Kathy has a lot to do at home after work, making it difficult for her to carry Samantha around at such a busy time. Kathy thinks Samantha is hungry and that she would be less irritable if she fed him dinner.

1.What signals does Samantha send to demonstrate that she requires a more comfortable position than to be hungry?

2. How could Kathy change her routine to pay more attention to Samantha and cover the needs of your older daughter?

3. At eight months, is Samantha too small to overfeed on need emotional?

4. Should Kathy stop breastfeeding or continue breastfeeding to improve feeding Samantha?
