You are the owner of a smoothie shop in California. Afterhearing a podcast about customer relationship management (CRM), youdecide to gather more information regarding customer behavior inyour store to better understand the relationships that existbetween your business and your customers. CRM is a comprehensivebusiness model for increasing revenues and profits by focusing oncustomers.Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) is particularly importantwhen it comes to CRM and is often considered one of the mostcrucial metrics associated with a CRM system. Collecting data oncustomers and their relationships with a company (and commonlystoring it within a CRM system) helps make it possible to calculateCLV, or the total amount a customer will spend throughout theirrelationship with a company.
After a review and analysis of your customer data you are ableto determine the following information:
Average Value of Sales per Year per Customer: $120
Average Customer Retention Cost: $75
Customer Acquisition-oriented Marketing Expenses per Month:$1,000
Average Customer Retention Rate: 80%
You acquire an average of 25 new customers a month.
Use the following equations to help determine the CLV:
Average Customer Acquisition Cost = CustomerAcquisition-oriented Marketing Expenses per Month/Number of NewCustomers Acquired per Month
Customer Lifetime Value = [1/(1-Average Customer Retention Rate)] x(Average Value of Sales per Year per Customer)- (Average customerAcquisition Cost + Average Customer Retention Cost)
This activity is important because marketing managers need tounderstand and know how to calculate customer lifetime value as apart of customer relationship management. Knowledge of CLV caninform a number of critical marketing decisions related to suchfactors as the development of strategies designed to aid in theacquisition, nurturing, and retention of customers.
The goal of this exercise is to test your understanding of CLVby considering this example.
You must (1) complete the spreadsheet and (2) answer thequestions that follow to receive full credit for this exercise.

Answer:

Explanation:

Matthew owns an insurance policy that has designated Uma as the beneficiary. If Emily dies, the money will go to Uma and not to Matthew so Matthew will not include any amount in his estate.

If Emily dies, no amount goes to her estate either because Emily was not the beneficiary, Uma was. Emily dying will simply lead to Uma's estate getting the money and not Emily's.

Answer:

It will take 3.5 years to cover the initial investment.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial investment= $26,500

Cash flows:

1 6,000

2 8,000

3 10,000

4 5,000

5 3,000

The payback period is the time required to cover the initial investment:

Year 1= 6,000 - 26,500= -20,500

Year 2= 8,000 - 20,500= -12,500

Year 3= 10,000 - 12,500= -2,500

Year 4= 5,000 - 2,500= 2,500

To be more accurate:

(2,500/5,000)= 0.5

It will take 3.5 years to cover the initial investment.

The expected payback period is 3.19 years.

Expected payback period is the amount of time it take to recover the amount invested from the cumulative cash flows.

Amount invested = $26,500

Cumulative cash flow in year 1 = $6000

Cumulative cash flow in year 2 = $14, 000

Cumulative cash flow in year 3 = $24,000

Cumulative cash flow in year 4 = $29,000

Cumulative cash flow in year 5 = $32,000

The amount invested would be recovered in the third year.

3 + [tex]\frac{29,000 - 24,000}{26,500}[/tex] = 3.19 years

Zigzag Manufacturing

The Effectiveness of Leslie Demorest's Budgeting Strategy

The strategy of adjusting the previous year's operating expenses with inflation is not an effective way of strategic budget planning.  Leslie's budgeting strategy does not take advantage of forecasts of unexpectedly good performance and fails to provide any reaction that can occur when there are downturns in cash flow.

An effective budgeting strategy should provide the standard for the effective use of financial resources of Zigzag Manufacturing in its business operations.  There are no clear goals to be achieved and an evaluation of how the goals will be achieved through the budget implementation.

Explanation:

An effective budget should be able to forecast and track revenues and expenses, which are received and incurred in pursuit of business goals and projections.  An effective budget ensures that those who implement the projections contained in the budget remain motivated.  The idea of adjusting previous expenses with inflation is not an effective budgeting strategy.

Answer:

Knowing the supervisor's knowledge

Explanation:

In making a pitch about a particular idea it is important to to follow the steps of advocacy in order to effectively promote the idea and get a positive result.

In the given scenario Karla makes a pitch to her supervisor about changing their company's stance on recycling.

The steps to follow are:

- identify a challenge or opportunity

- determine your audience

- find out what they already know or perceive

- determine how receptive they are

- establish objectives for the audience

- define points for the audience

- determine channel of communication

- decide on needed resources

- set timelines for activities

- evaluate success

Karla did not know her supervisor was already considering a change to the recycling policy.

So she failed to determine her Supervisor's knowledge of the situation.

The component of advocacy that Karla has failed to consider here is the supervisors knowledge.

She made a pitch about the issue without finding out if the supervisor already had a prior knowledge to what was happening.

This would have made her to make her case in a different way. The principle of advocacy is done with the aim of promoting a cause or interests of certain people.

She did not consider that the pitch she was making had already been dealt with by the supervisor she was giving it to.

Answer: $136,375

Explanation:

Going by the collections pattern of the company, there will be collections for 3 months in December being October, November and December.

December collections will be:

= (50% * December credit sales) + (30% * November Credit sales) + (15% * October credit sales) + December cash sales

December credit sales = 75% * 130,000 = $97,500

November credit sales = 75% * 170,000 = $127,500

October credit sales = 75% * 150,000 = $112,500

December collections are:

= (50% * 97,500) + (30% * 127,500) + (15% * 112,500) + (25% * 130,000)

= $136,375

Answer: 0.755

Explanation:

From the information given, the current per share value of the option if it expires in one year will be calculated as follows:

Firstly, we calculate the present value which will be:

= $28 / ( 1 + 0.05 )

= $28/1.05

= $26.667

The number of options needed will be:

= ( 34 - 28 )/ ( 4-0)

= 6/4

= 1.5

Therefore,

27.80 = (1.5 x Co) + [28 / (1+0.05)]

27.80 = 1.5Co + (28/1.05)

27.80 = 1.5Co + 26.667

1.5Co = 28.0 - 26.667

1.5Co = 1.1333

Co = 0.755

Therefore, the answer is 0.755

Answer:

a. Suppose a firm's total assets turnover ratio falls from 1.0 to 0.9, but at the same time its profit margin rises from 9% to 10% and its debt decreases from 60% of total assets to 40%. Under these conditions, the ROE will increase.

Explanation:

Asset turnover ratio of a firm is sales divided by total assets. If this ratio falls the revenue of the firm has declined, but since the profit margin has increased means company has made efforts to cut down its expenses and cost. If the debt has decreased then its equity portion will increase resulting in ROE to increase.
