MKTG 301 – Marketing Planning Document

Subject: Business / Marketing
Question
Objective
Understand and incorporate the various elements that constitute Promotion within your marketing plan.

Overview
Marketing Planning Document 8 explores Promotion – the final “P” of marketing. As an aside, promotion is what most people think of when they think of marketing.

Part One: Introduction
Introduce Marketing Planning Document 8 by explaining what promotion is and the role it plays within the 4Ps of marketing.

Part Two: Resources
Review what you learned in Lessons 12-15 about the various forms of promotion, including content from your textbook and online course material. Note: Be sure to incorporate insights you gained from the Practice Marketing demo – Promotion. You are also encouraged to conduct independent research to enrich your own learning. Please remember to cite your work properly.

Part Three: Prompts and Guiding Questions
Please answer the following prompts and guiding questions relating to promotion:

As you begin thinking about promotion of your product, you must first understand and agree upon what the goal(s) of the promotion you are trying to create?

Are you trying to inform, persuade, remind or connect?
Once you have decided on the goal(s) of your promotion, you are ready to dive into developing your promotional mix in order to reach your target market. Your promotional mix should include advertising, public relations, sales promotion, personal selling, direct marketing, and social media.

According to Lamb, Hair, and McDaniel, âthe ultimate goal of any promotion is to get someone to buy a good or serviceâ (p. 258). As such, use the Hierarchy of Effects Model to develop a strategy for reaching your promotional goal(s).

While you are developing your promotional mix, make sure the message reaching the consumer is the same regardless of the promotional medium. In other words, employ an integrated marketing communication (IMC) strategy while working through the Hierarchy of Effects Model.
You should also address any factors that might affect your promotional mix (i.e., Nature of the Product, Stages in the Product Life Cycle, Target Market Characteristics, Types of Buying Decisions, Available Funds, and/or Push and Pull Strategies).
Donât forget about your salesforce.

If your ultimate goal is to sell something and your company utilizes a salesforce, how will your promotional mix generate leads for your salesforce?
Social media is changing the marketing landscape.

Be sure to discuss how you are using social media to connect with your customers and how social media fits within your overall marketing plan.
When developing the promotional mix section of your marketing plan, please be as specific as possible. Donât just say that you are developing an advertisement. Instead (using the Hierarchy of Effects Model) explain what type of advertisement you plan to use:

Highlight key concepts within your advertising campaign (i.e., message and USP).
What media types will you use (and why are you using them), etc.
If you are feeling super creative and ambitious, provide me an example (i.e., create an actual ad or press release for your campaign). You never know, bonus points may be rewarded for such ambition! Be creative and have fun!

Part Four: Final Artifact and Reflection
Summarize the considerations your team made when developing your promotional strategy (i.e., summarize the work you did in Part Three into a cohesive paragraph describing how you plan to promote the product you are marketing). Conclude your planning document by providing insights you gained from this assignment that you had not initially gleaned from the course material or textbook reading.

EC441 – In the long run, output per person

Subject: Economics / General Economics
Question
EC441: Problem Set 5
Multiple-choice questions
The next four questions concern the Malthusian model. Suppose that the productivity of land
increases so for a given level of labor, output increases. Answer the following questions about the
effect on the economy relative to the initial (pre-change) steady state:

1. In the long run, output per person will be
A) Greater
B) Lower
C) No change
D) Ambiguous

2. In the long run, population will be
A) Greater
B) Lower
C) No change
D) Ambiguous

3. In the long run, total (aggregate) output will be
A) Greater
B) Lower
C) No change
D) Ambiguous

4. In the long run, the death rate (at the new steady state) will be
A) Greater
B) Lower
C) No change
D) Ambiguous
5. Suppose that in the Solow model the long run capital per capita is 5. Suppose that the current
capital per capita is 2. Then current savings
A) Equals depreciation plus population growth
B) Is greater than depreciation plus population growth
C) Is greater than depreciation plus population growth
1 D) Cannot say with numbers provided

6. Suppose that the world is a collection of countries each following the Solow model with the
same fundamentals (production function, population growth, depreciation), but different levels
of capital per worker. Which of the following should happen:
A) The poor countries should grow faster than the rich
B) The rich countries should grow faster than the poor
C) All countries grow at the same rate
D) There is no growth in any country

The next four questions concern the Solow model. Suppose the government discourages savings
by taxing capital and using the money to subsidize consumption. Think of this as a decline in
the savings rate. Answer the following questions about the effect on the economy relative to the
initial (pre-change) steady state:

7. In the long run, output per person will be
A) Greater
B) Lower
C) No change
D) Ambiguous (cannot sign the change for certain)

8. Compared to the original steady state, consumption per person in the new long-run steady state
will be
A) Greater
B) Lower
C) No change
D) Ambiguous (cannot sign the change for certain)

9. Along the transition to the new steady state, output per person will be:
A) Increasing
B) Decreasing
C) Constant
D) Ambiguous (cannot sign the change for certain)

10. In the new long-run steady state, the growth rate of output per capita compared to the original
steady state will be:
A) Greater
B) Lower
C) No change
D) Ambiguous (cannot sign the change for certain) 2 Short-answer questions

1. Consider the effect of giving aid to a developing economy. Let a be the amount of aid per person
given each year. “Total income available” for a country in per capita terms is then y + a, where y
is the amount of domestic output per capita. Start each economy from a steady state.
(a) Describe what happens in a Malthusian economy. In particular, assume that what determines
mortality and fertility is total income available. Describe what happens in the new steady
state to (a) per capita output produced, (b) per capita consumption (which is equal to per
capita total income available, as there is no saving in this model), and (c) population.

(b) Describe what happens in a Solow economy. In particular, assume that savings is an s
fraction of total income available (s is the saving rate). Describe what happens in the new
steady state to (a) per capita output produced, (b) per capita consumption, and (c) capital
per capita.

(c) Drawing on your answers from above, do you think that aid will help the poorest countries grow faster? Give some intuition of why growth may have different effects given the
underlying nature of the economy. 3

Diet and Your Body – What foods have high levels of calcium

Subject: Biology / General Biology
Question
5.1.7 Journal: Diet and Your Body
Biology Sem 2 (S3852519)
Points possible: 20 Journal

1. Your body needs calcium to build strong bones and teeth. Calcium is also used for nerve function and
muscle contraction. Most growing teens need about 1,200 mg of calcium each day. There are about 300 mg
of calcium in one glass of cow’s milk.
a) What foods have high levels of calcium? Look at the USDA pyramid and see what foods are high in
calcium. (2 points) b) In general, do you think you get enough calcium in your diet? What foods from the food pyramid do you
eat regularly? (2 points) 2. Iron is an essential nutrient, especially for teenagers. It is a component of red blood cells and is needed
to carry oxygen to growing muscles and tissues. Teenagers need around 12 to 15 mg of iron each day.
Luckily, many cereals and baked goods are fortified with iron. This means that iron is added to them. a) What foods have high levels of iron? Look at the food pyramid? items in the meat group generally have a
lot of iron. (2 points) b) Based on the pyramid and what you know about iron, do you think you get enough iron in your diet? c) People who lack iron in their diets are at risk of anemia. This condition causes weakness in the body and
a decreased capacity for learning. Why would a lack of iron cause anemia? Think about the function of red
blood cells in the body to help you answer this question. (2 points) 3. Your body needs protein. Protein is broken down into amino acids that are then used to build the proteins
your cells need to function. What is the primary source of protein in your diet? Use the food pyramid to see
what types of protein­rich foods you eat on a regular basis. (2 points) 4. Fruits and vegetables contain many vitamins and minerals needed for optimal health. a) How many servings of fruits and vegetables does the USDA recommend getting every day? Look at the
food pyramid and add up the servings of fruit and vegetables. (2 points) b) Think about what you ate yesterday. Did you consume the recommended amounts of fruits and
vegetables? Make a list of what you eat in a typical day and compare this to the recommended amount. (2
points) 5. The USDA recommends eating fats, oils, and sweets sparingly. Do you think most people in the United
States follow this advice? Foods like chips, candy, and fast food contain high amounts of fats or sweets. (2
points) 6. Overall, do you think your diet provides your body with all of the nutrients needed to be healthy and
strong? Use information from the pyramid to support your answer. Think about your diet for the last few
days and compare it to the foods listed in the pyramid. (2 points)

Howard Stark, envious of his sonâs movie career,

Subject: Business / Accounting
Question
Howard Stark, envious of his sonâs movie career, ventured into television, but only got a small part in a story about his inventions. So, he decided to finance his own reality show, Iron Baker. (Whether he stole the concept from Tony or it described the consistency of his bread, we are not sure).

In a recent episode he was demonstrating the proper technique to raise shortbread, but got cara-wayed and took too long. Everything went a-rye, the loaf exploded (it was filed with baking powder) and Howard was toast.

You have been asked to advise his estate on the following.

Howardâs gross estate includes:

1. 1,000 shares of Stark Armaments, Inc. This is Howardâs military development company. His basis in the shares is $ 350,000. The date of death value is $1,500,000 (we took out some zeros so as to not overtax your calculators). It has a great deal of E & Pâmore than enough no matter what we do. The balance of the stock is owned as follows:

a. Maria Stark, his wife, owns 400 shares.

b. Pepper Potts (Tonyâs wifeâok Iâm a couple of movies early) owns 90.

c. Peggy Carter, no relation, owns the remaining 510.

2. 610 shares of Stark Innovations, Inc. This is Howardâs commercial company. His basis in the stock was $190,000. Itâs FMV at the time of his death was $1,100,000. It too had overwhelming E & P. The balance of the stock is owned as follows:

a. Tony Stark, his son, owns 100 shares.

b. Maria owns 90 shares.

c. Pepper Potts owns 100.

d. Edwin Jarvis, the butler but otherwise no relation, owns 100.

Taxes and administration expenses are $980,000. The total estate is $6,500,000. Maria and Tony are the sole heirs of the estate.

Maria, the executor, asks you:

1 What are the tax consequences to the estate if it redeems stock to pay off the taxes and expenses? Does it matter which stock is redeemed?

2 What are the tax consequences to the estate if all of its Armaments stock is redeemed by the corporation for FMV?

3 What are the tax consequences to the estate if all of its Innovation stock is redeemed by the corporation for FMV?

No stock of the other shareholders will be redeemed.

Explain your answers.

200

Inspecting products

$ 125,000

$ 225,000

Total

$1,362,000

$2,287,000

During 2015, Marston worked a total of 80,000 direct labor hours, used 250,000 machine hours, made 32,000 moves, and performed 120 batch inspections. The following actual costs were incurred:

Direct materials $440000

direct labor $355000

depreciation $100000

Maintaining equipment $425000

Machining 142000

Moving Materials 232500

inspecting products 160000

Marston applies overhead using rates based on direct labor hours, machine hours, number of moves, and number of batches. The second level of activity (the right column in the preceding table) is the practical level of activity (the available activity for resources acquired in advance of usage) and is used to compute predetermined overhead pool rates.

One of Marston’s managers said the following: “Budgeting at the activity level makes a lot of sense. It really helps us manage costs better. But the previous budget really needs to provide more detailed information. For example, I know that the moving materials activity involves the use of forklifts and operators, and this information is lost when only the total cost of the activity for various levels of output is reported. We have four forklifts, each capable of providing 10,000 moves per year. We lease these forklifts for five years, at $10,000 per year. Furthermore, for our two shifts, we need up to eight operators if we run all four forklifts. Each operator is paid a salary of $30,000 per year. Also, I know that fuel costs about $0.25 per move.”

QUESTION:

Assuming that these are the only three items, expand the detail of the flexible budget for moving materials to reveal the cost of these three resource items for 20,000 moves (Especially consider how activity-based budgeting may provide useful information for non-value-added activities.)

What is the cost per unit when there are 20000 moves?

What is the cost per unit when there are 40000 moves?
