, Question 1
A firm currently earns $8M profit on $100M revenue. It plans a 10% price cut,
expects unit volume to rise 20%, and estimates variable cost per unit will fall
5% due to scale. Which conclusion is most defensible using break-even and
contribution logic?
A. Profit will rise because volume growth exceeds price decline.
B. Profit will fall unless the contribution margin percentage remains
above roughly 50%.
C. Profit will be unchanged if price elasticity equals 1.
D. Profit will rise only if fixed costs also decrease.
Correct Answer: B - Profit will fall unless the contribution
margin percentage remains above roughly 50%.
RATIONALE
A 10% price cut requires a substantial volume increase to offset lost
contribution; with only a 20% volume gain and a 5% cost
improvement, profitability depends critically on maintaining a high
contribution margin. If contribution margin falls below about half, the
price cut destroys profit. The other options ignore contribution margin
mechanics or misstate elasticity effects.
Question 2
A subscription app reports: 100,000 users, 20% monthly churn, $10 ARPU, $2
CAC. Which metric most directly indicates the sustainability of its growth
model?
A. Customer lifetime value relative to customer acquisition cost.
B. Monthly active user growth rate.
C. Average revenue per user.
D. Total number of downloads.
Correct Answer: A - Customer lifetime value relative to customer
acquisition cost.
Page 2
, RATIONALE
With 20% monthly churn, the average customer lifetime is only about
5 months, so LTV is roughly $50 while CAC is $2, producing a strong
LTV:CAC ratio that signals sustainability. Growth rate, ARPU, and
downloads alone do not capture whether acquisition spend is
recovered before churn.
Question 3
A brand with high awareness and strong quality perceptions launches a line
extension into a category where it lacks expertise. According to brand equity
theory, the greatest risk is:
A. Cannibalization of the core product.
B. Dilution of brand meaning and credibility if the extension fails.
C. Increased advertising costs due to separate positioning.
D. Loss of trademark protection.
Correct Answer: B - Dilution of brand meaning and credibility if
the extension fails.
RATIONALE
Line extensions leverage brand associations, but incongruent
extensions can dilute brand meaning and damage credibility if they
underperform. Cannibalization, ad costs, and trademark issues are
secondary or unrelated to the core equity risk described.
Question 4
In a perceptual map, two competitors occupy adjacent positions on the
'premium quality' dimension, while a third occupies a distinct 'value' position.
Which strategic implication is most consistent with positioning theory?
A. The third brand should move toward the premium cluster to gain
share.
B. The two adjacent brands face higher differentiation risk and may need
Page 3
, to sharpen distinct associations.
C. The value position is inherently less profitable and should be
abandoned.
D. Perceptual maps dictate that only one brand can occupy a position.
Correct Answer: B - The two adjacent brands face higher
differentiation risk and may need to sharpen distinct associations.
RATIONALE
When brands cluster on the same dimension, differentiation erodes
and consumers may see them as substitutes, increasing the need for
sharper, more distinct associations. Moving into the cluster or
abandoning a viable value position are not supported by positioning
theory.
Question 5
A marketer runs an A/B test: Version A converts at 4% with 10,000 visitors;
Version B converts at 4.5% with 10,000 visitors. Which interpretation is most
appropriate?
A. Version B is definitively better and should be rolled out.
B. The difference may not be statistically significant and requires a
significance test.
C. Version A is better because it has a lower conversion rate variance.
D. The test is invalid because sample sizes are unequal.
Correct Answer: B - The difference may not be statistically
significant and requires a significance test.
RATIONALE
A 0.5 percentage-point difference on 10,000 visitors each may or may
not be statistically significant; a hypothesis test (e.g., two-proportion
z-test) is needed before rollout. The other options either overstate
certainty or misapply variance/sample-size logic.
