In this week's discussion you are going to be the CEO of a company.  In anticipation of the upcoming quarterly disclosure of profits, you prepare your Board of Directors for the challenge that cost-push inflation having on profits.  Please make yourself CEO of only one of these hypothetical companies.

All America Grocery Inc - We serve communities in the middle of the income market providing low prices for all basic grocery needs. Our modest income consumers expect goods deals on good quality foods.  The Covid-19 pandemic has put upward pressure on the price of everything we sell. We have also experience rising cost in every aspect of our operation as we must put extra resources in to protecting both our employees and the public. We are both fortunate and unfortunate that the price elasticity of demand for food is .20.  

Now explain:

  • Is the demand curve for your product relatively elastic, inelastic, or unitary elastic?  Demonstrate for your company's product, by how much the quantity demanded will change if you pass on a 10% increase in cost. In other words, show your calculation of the percentage change in the quantity demanded given a 10% change in your price. You must provide a calculation showing the percentage change in quantity demanded.
  • Given your company's and price elasticity of demand and the industry supply/competitive environment you face prepare a statement for your board as to the potential impact on profits.   Who will pay the larger share of the cost increases, your firm, or your customers?

Clarification on policy on references. In general, you will not actually need a reference to reply to a discussion.  These are problem solving exercise. You are creating a solution, but you may choose to use a reference.  If you do use a reference, it must be an academically credible reference. Remember that the reference you select is part of your credibility. Never use investopedia, Wikipedia, or any other predia. These are not acceptable. Use of one of these will mean zero credit on the exercise.

Second, the discussions are a learning activity. We will assess your progress on the topic, but that is not a grade. If you have not mastered all the insights, you will find feedback to help you improve your understanding. Use that to do additional post to improve and we will re-assess our evaluation.

The challenge for many students is that, yes you do have to do a calculation to answer this question.

Here are the calculations . In the problem you are given ϵ and you are told the % ? is 10%. So how much does quantity demand decrease?

Now, if ϵ is less the 1, the item is price inelastic. If ϵ is greater than 1 then the item is price elastic. Which firms will have the hardest time passing on any increase in cost as an increase in price? Think back to our formula on the percent contribution margin to look at how profits might be affected. Remember (P-AVC)/P?

The CEO of a large manufacturing company is curious if there is a difference in productivity level of her warehouse employees based on the region of the country the warehouse is located. She randomly selects 35 employees who work in warehouses on the East Coast (Group 1) and 35 employees who work in warehouses in the Midwest (Group 2) and records the number of parts shipped out from each for a week. She finds that East Coast group ships an average of 1299 parts and knows the population standard deviation to be 350. The Midwest group ships an average of 1456 parts and knows the population standard deviation to be 297.

Using a 0.01 level of significance, test if there is a difference in productivity level. What is the p-value? (Round to four decimal places) p-value =

You are the CEO of a private company and want to buy it. There is one major shareholder who owns 70 percent of the firm. The remaining 30 percent is held by oceanic shareholders. Based on a DCF model, you estimate the base value of the firm to be $100 million. This excludes any liquidity discount and/or control premium. Based on your observations of the market, liquidity discounts are about 30 percent and control premiums are about 15 percent for similar deals. Your firm has 80 million shares outstanding.

What would you offer to pay in total and per share to the controlling shareholder? To the oceanic shareholders?What if it were not a private company but a public company. Show how would that change your calculation and answers?

Be sure to caluclate the DLOM/liquidity factor first then the value of the control/minority. Please make an excel chart.
