Case Analysis – STRATEGIC MARKETING MANAGEMENT

Read the article, do (i.e., description of the problem, alternatives, key features, solution).

1. do a clearly state what problem you believe the firm is facing.

2. Next you will want to see what the options are for the firm.

3. Then you should list all the key features which you have found or developed which you feel will be helpful in coming to a decision, this is the single most important area for the case notes.

4. Finally, be sure to make a selection. As with the problem statement this would best be done in a few sentences and it should refer back to which pieces of information you found particularly compelling for making that particular choice.

Here are some questions to think about in relation to this case.

  • What are the average sales per dealer in the market area for Gibraltar?
  • How are those sales distributed across the different brands a dealer sells?
  • What are the average sales per dealer for Gibraltar (exclusive vs. non-exclusive)?
  • How effective is the sales force?  Essentially how much time are they spending actively selling to these dealers as a sales call given that they have to travel and the dealers can be spread out across a territory?  What is the cost for these sales reps for each type of dealer network?

Quantitative Analysis & Excel

 

Instructions

Attached Excel Student Workbook below: 

Read the case study attached below and complete the following requirements.

Quantitative Analysis: 

Chandler Corporation is currently producing several products, including both custom and standard designs. It has received requests for two new products: swimming pool shades and landscape trellises. It is considering whether to produce either or both of these products. Based on the projections in Exhibits 1 to 3 describing the current capacity and required capacity needs for the new products, complete the following requirements:

  1. Using ABC, compute the Predetermined Overhead Rate for each activity.
  2. Compute the cost of unused capacity for each activity and in total.
  3. Compute the TOTAL and UNIT cost of making the full demand of pool shades assuming that Chandler bases its rates on the predetermined overhead rate.
  4. Compute the TOTAL and UNIT cost of making the full demand of trelli, assuming that Chandler bases its rates on the predetermined overhead rate.
  5. Compute the TOTAL and UNIT cost of making the full demand of pool shades assuming that Chandler bases its rates on EXPECTED capacity (used capacity plus required capacity for the full demand of pool shades).
  6. Compute the total and unit cost of making the full demand of trellises assuming that Chandler bases its rates on EXPECTED capacity (used capacity plus required capacity for the full demand of trellises).

Qualitative Analysis: 

In a 2 page report, based on your quantitative analysis, discuss the results of what your quantitative analysis means for Chandler.  When considering a decision to make the new products, would costs computed using practical capacity (c and d) or expected capacity (e and f) as the denominator provide better information to Chandlers management? Explain your answer.  Support your recommendation with a minimum of 3 academic resources in APA format.
