(1) Based on the case information, if MMBC does nothing to change the situation, what is the projected operating profit in 2010? How does the figure compare to 2005’s operating profit?

 

(2) Use Exhibit 1 as your model and project a 2010 income statement. (But you only need to understand and project the part until Operating Margin, which should be actually called Operating Profit.)

(3) From Exhibit 1 and Page 2 and 6, What is the price per barrel for MM lager? 

(4) What is the projected price for MM Light?  And what is MM Light’s gross profit (i.e., contribution) per barrel? 

(5) From the case, what are the various type of costs involved in introducing the new MM Light beer in the first year? Can you list the name of the cost and its number? (The total of these costs are the number we need to consider in break even analysis. )

3. Remembering that currency in a bank’s vault is not considered part of the money supply, describe why a consumer depositing $1000 in currency (part of M1) in a bank account and receiving a demand deposit (also part of M1) in the amount of $1000 in exchange does not change the money supply (M1).
4. Assuming the reserve ratio is 10%, how much of the $1000 deposit must the bank keep in reserves?  How much can it loan out?
5. Suppose the Federal Reserve sells a bond for $1000.  The money goes from ___________ (the Fed or the public’s hands) to _____________ (the Fed or the public’s hands) and the amount of currency in the public’s hands __________ (decreases or increases)

 

1. Relationship MarketingHow can database marketing help an organization improve its relationship marketing? What databases do you think you’re in? How do you think you got there?

In your responses, argue both sides of the issue and share your views.
2. Influencing the Senses

 

Bradford and Desrochers raise interesting ethical issues in their discussion of scents and the influence on consumers. The covert objective ambient scent (COAS) is a scent that is just below our olfactory threshold, but is above the threshold for our brain to detect. Construct a covert objective ambient scent scenario and evaluate the benefits and detriments to the organization and the individual. Respond to at least to of your classmates’ postings.

Précis/Proposal

A précis is a very short synopsis of an argument. In this case, identify an event from the recent past in the Middle East that has an impact on political, social, or economic relationships around the world. This can be a nationalization of enterprises, hostile action by a government toward a specific firm or group of firms, an unscheduled transfer of power (coup, revolution, etc.), or a period of instability (unsuccessful revolt, terrorism, civil strife). Alternately, it can be the threat of instability or government action that never materialized. Identify an approximate time period where the events occurred. If you have not done political risk analysis before, the following citations provide a useful introduction.

Case Summary

Gather as much evidence as possible from the year preceding the event you have selected and synthesize and analyze the evidence (both news accounts and any statistical data that may be relevant) to look for trends, themes, or patterns. This preliminary analysis should provide a clear, concise, and structured summary of the case you have selected. At a minimum, this section will include the statement of problem, the objectives of the paper, and your methodology for the final paper. You may include preliminary qualitative or quantitative assessments in this section depending on your case. This section will be approximately seven (7) pages double spaced.
