"Case Study Mrs. S, a 45-year-old woman, came to your doctor’s office because she had a sore that would not heal on her leg. She is 5 ft 5 in. and weighs 200 lb (body mass index [BMI] = 33.5). Vital signs are temperature 98.6°F, pulse 70 beats per minute, respirations 16 breaths per minute, and blood pressure 160/95 mm Hg. Mrs. S reports a gradual increase in her weight since her third child was born 20 years ago. That baby weighed 12 lb. Two previous pregnancies produced infants weighing 10 and 11 lb. She has no known allergies. None of the children live at home. Mrs. S lives with her husband, who works as a construction laborer. She has been seasonally employed as a hotel maid at a nearby resort. Health insurance coverage is sporadic. They have a new insurance policy now. Mrs. S is the oldest of six children. Her father died of a heart attack at age 60. Her mother died of a stroke at age 62. Both parents reportedly “had a little sugar.” The sister who is closest to Mrs. S in age developed diabetes 3 years ago and is being treated with oral medication. Their youngest sister was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 18 after an episode of mumps. Mrs. S reports a good appetite and a fluid intake of about 3 quarts per day. Her favorite beverage is iced tea with sugar and lemon. She does most of the grocery shopping and cooking. Mrs.S, hit her left ankle with the screen door about 2 months ago. The resulting sore has not healed but has gotten worse. Mrs. S knows that a sore that does not heal is a sign of cancer, which is why she sought medical attention. The ankle now has an open lesion 5 cm in diameter over the lateral ankle bone. The entire foot is swollen to twice the size of the right foot. The bandage over the sore had greenish-yellow drainage on it. A random blood glucose test 3 hours after her last meal shows a glucose level of 400 mg/dL. Her urine glucose was negative for ketones. The physician diagnoses Mrs. S with type 2 diabetes.

Prem Narayan, a graduate student in engineering, to market a radical new speaker he had designed for automobile sound systems, founded Acoustic Concepts, Inc. Prem established the company’s headquarters into rented quarters in a nearby industrial park. He hired a receptionist, an accountant, a sales manager, and a small sales staff to sell the speakers to retail stores. Prem asked his accountant, Bob Luchinni, to prepare several cost-volume-profit analyses, using the information shown below.

Sales price for one speaker set................................................... $250 Variable manufacturing cost for each speaker set (direct
materials) ................................................................................... $150 Fixed expenses per month (rent, salaries of receptionist, sales

people, accountant, and Prem)................................................... $35,000 Number of speaker sets sold per month..................................... 400

Prem and other management personnel are considering the use of higher-quality components, which would increase variable costs by $10 per speaker. However, the sales manager predicts that the higher overall quality would increase sales to 480 speaker sets per month. Should the higher quality components be used?

The sales manager believes that by reducing the selling price of speakers by $20, and also by increasing the advertising budget by $15,000 per month, that sales will increase to 600 speaker sets per month. Should the changes be made?

The sales manager would like to place the sales staff on a commission basis of $15 per speaker sold, rather than on flat salaries that now total $6,000 per month. The sales manager is confident that the change will increase monthly sales to 460 speaker sets per month. Should the change be made?

Suppose Acoustic Concepts has an opportunity to make a bulk sale of 150 speakers to a wholesaler, if an acceptable price can be worked out. The sale would not disturb the company’s regular sales, nor would if affect fixed operating costs per month. What price should be quoted to the wholesaler if Acoustic Concepts wants to increase its monthly profits by $3,000?

 C.M.=contribution margin, S.P.=sales price, V.C.=variable cost, F.C.=fixed cost

 C.M. per unit = S.P. per unit – V.C. per unit

 The break even point is the point at which the total contribution margin equals fixed costs.

 Break even units sold = F.C. / C.M. Per unit

 Break even sales dollars = F.C. / C.M. Percentage

 C.M. Percentage = C.M. per unit / S.P. per unit, or C.M. (total) / Sales (total)

Consider the Utica Slappers, a hockey team that plays in an arena with 8,000 seats. The only cost associated with staging a hockey game is a fixed cost of $6,000: The team incurs this cost regardless of how many people attend a game. The demand curve for hockey tickets has a slope of $0.001 per ticket ($1 divided by 1,000 tickets): Each $1 increase in price decreases the number of tickets sold by 1,000. For example, here are some combinations of price and quantity: Price per ticket $4 $5 $6 $7......Quantity of tickets 8,000 7,000 6,000 5,000. The owner's objective is to maximize the profit per hockey game (total revenue minus the $6,000 fixed cost). a. What price will maximize profit? b. If the owner picks the price that maximizes profit, how many seats in the arena will be empty? c. Is it rational to leave some seats empty? 9.

Read the following extract and answer the questions that follow. [20 marks]
Joe Gebbia and Brian Chesky were sharing a loft apartment in San Francisco in 2007 when they realised that attendees to a major design conference in town were going to struggle to find a room for the night.
With almost every hotel room in the city booked out, Gebbia and Chesky, who were struggling to pay their rent, seized their chance.
They threw the doors open to their place, offering strangers the chance to sleep on two airbeds on the floor and eat a home-cooked breakfast.
As the Airbnb website puts it: “Two air mattresses, a thousand dollars, three new friends, and many high fives later, the entrepreneurs realized an opportunity.”
With the addition of tech wizard Nathan Blecharczyk, the team decided to change the accommodation model by allowing people to list their own places to stay online, with the new business, Airbedandbreakfast.com, gaining revenue through a fee of between 6% and 12%, depending on the price of the booking.
Initially focusing on large-scale events where accommodation would be scarce, the trio raised cash for the venture in an unusual way – they sold $30,000-worth of special edition breakfast cereals they created, based on then-US presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain.
In 2008 the name was shortened to Airbnb and users were able to book whole properties, boats and even private islands, rather than just a couch to crash for the night.
In June last year, the business revealed it had booked its ten millionth night, with 75% of these bookings occurring outside its initial market of the US.

There have been hitches – such as the PR disaster of a woman writing on her blog that her apartment had been trashed by an Airbnb renter. Chesky wrote a contrite response, admitted the company had “dropped the ball” and introduced insurance and a 24-hour helpline to help solve future problems.
Airbnb now features listings in 33,000 cities in 192 countries. It has also raised a very handy $120 million in venture capital and is valued at $1.3 billion.
Chesky told CNN: “Sometimes it takes a fresh pair of eyes to look at a problem and see it as an opportunity, not just the way things are or have to be.”
“I think that being a young entrepreneur is a great opportunity to challenge the status quo and build the world as you think it ought to be.”

A company sells medical supplies to hospitals and healthcare facilities that are mostly located in the Michiana region. The company has 150 employees, and it is about to decide whether part of them should be encouraged to work remotely, and if so, how many employees should do that. There are many aspects to be analyzed such as productivity and collaboration, but you will focus on the costs of space and IT at the company’s main office versus the costs of working remotely.

The costs of office space include building rent and maintenance, utilities, cleaning, and insurance. The company estimates that those costs could be either one of three scenarios: (A) $60,000 per month for a building where all employees can be accommodated; (B) $50,000 per month for a building that can accommodate 100 employees; or (C) $40,000 per month for a building for 50 employees.

The main costs of IT include the lease, operation and maintenance of equipment (a desktop computer for each employee, and the office’s Wi-Fi access points, cabling, routers for the LAN/MAN) and a contract with a fixed Internet service provider. The equipment cost is $7,500 per month for scenario (A), $5,500 for (B) or $3,500 for (C). The cost with the fixed Internet service provider is (A) $5,000 per month for all employees; (B) $4,000 per month for 100 employees; or (C) $2,500 per month for 50 employees.

If some of the employees no longer work frequently at the central office, then the company can operate on a smaller office (i.e. B or C instead of A). On the other hand, the company will provide a laptop, smartphone and a cellular plan for each employee working remotely. The company already has a corporate cellular contract with Cerizon for some employees. If some employees are to work remotely, then the company will add them to the same contract. The contract includes the smartphones at no extra cost, and Cerizon charges $10 per GB for employees who use less than 5GB per month, $8 per GB for employees who use 5GB or more but less than 10GB per month, and $6 per GB for employees who use 10GB or more per month. The cost of each laptop is $1,000, which the company considers that depreciates linearly over its lifetime of 2 years.
