As i remember the question asks us to choose between 2 options and also the data is pointing that they are launching the new product. So we should choose the more suitable option for current situation.

We are asked for an explanation of penetration pricing and market skimming and then asked which was the best strategy for the new product

Yes, I mean after theory giving explanations what is what, I put what is the best.

I said Market skimming as it is a unique product, eagerly awaited (big demand), saving millions of lives, and they had high development costs that they would want to recover quickly, no competition etc.

But goverment ranks based on total point so they could prefer school 1

I chose the government will prefer high ranking and points the reason why I chose this is because of the effectiveness measure as this is a measure of output.

for the parent’s behaviours, I chose it as common sense choose. not too sure about it though

Option B was, that government would prefer school 1, parents would prefer school 2

Ah, so it is also my answer :p

About the chart, part C

It was so funny that i did not know how to get the price from the chart
However, question 27 needs question 26’s answer.
I left these questions to do last.
Expected sale = 3000
Bep = 250 so the price should < 3000/250 = 12 so exlude 2 answers ( c and d) left with 7.5$ and 10$

Then i entered 2 prices into question 27 and figured out price = 10$ and MOS = 16.67%

Hope it true :d

Yes, I got the same – $10 and 16.67%

Hi no it was MC – variable so I did not add fixed costs. I used fixed costs(sub) to calculate the profit at the end.

How about yourself? I think my MC was around 208!

Hi guys
Could you please tell me , how did you get the revised sales units on sales volume planning variance. I got stuck on that .
Thank you in advance

can’t exactly remember the exact number, but from the top of my head the budgeted price was 50 and the price should have been same as the competitor which it was 53 and the actual sale price was 55.

Actual price 55

revised price 53

budgeted price 50

therefore the planning variance was 3 per unit favorable

and operational 2 per unit, also favorable and of course, you need to multiply by the number of actual units sold

I hope I got that correct

Hi guys, please is it necessary to write my name on the question paper?
