THE FOLLOWING DATA APPLY TO THE NEXT THREE PROBLEMS Johnny and Ronny have both been given $50,000 by their grandparents today on their 21st birthdays. They want to save for their future and have aspirations of one day being millionaires. Both boys plan to make annual contributions on their birthday, beginning next year. Johnny and Ronny have each opened investment accounts at Chase and Wells Fargo, respectively, and they expect to earn nominal returns of 8% and 9% respectively. Johnny has already decided to deposit $8,000 each year into his investment account, while Ronny is unsure of the amount he will deposit annually.
How many years will it take Johnny before he reaches his investment goal of $1 million?

Suppose Ronny was interested in reaching the investment goal at the same time as Johnny. What is the minimum monthly contribution he could make to reach $1 million at the same time as Johnny?

Several companies have done a poor monitoring of the social aspects of the external environment. This meant that their strategies did not fit the needs of the market, and hence they failed. This is most noticeable among firms who market to Generation Y. This target group consists of customers who range in age from 5 to 20. Dubbed Gen Y" this cohort presented a big challenge to marketers such as Levi Strauss, Nike and Pepsi because of their unique tastes and perceptions of product quality and advertising themes.
Companies that succeeded in reaching Generation Y customers accurately sensed the unique needs of this market. For example, Lee Apparel (a competitor of Levi Strauss) introduced a special line of oversized, multipocketed pants aimed at 10-14 year old boys. This unique product was marketed on the internet, outdoor posters, and skateboard magazines. By carefully customizing their marketing, successful companies (such as Coca-Cola, Tommy Hilfiger, and Motorola) penetrated a market which was seen as impregnable by others.
While it is difficult to accurately forecast social changes, how can firms best factor these changes into their strategies in order to be successful?

The president feels very strongly that Mountain Sports should expand operations to a second location. She has even found a prime location in Canmore, Alberta, One of the great things about Canmore is its proximity to the mountains, and its only about 10 minutes away from this beautiful, vibrant and internationally known Banff tourist town. Research indicates that the Canmore market is well suited to both cross-country skis and bikes and that competition is fairly limited.
