Quiz 1 Answers - Part 2
1. Which of the following does NOT accurately describe your company's
camera/drone business
and operations?
The company has two buildings for assembling products at its Taiwan site--one for
cameras
and one for drones (the drone assembly process also includes assembly of an action-
camera
model having features and specifications suitable for use in camera-equipped drones).
No
camera models or drone models are assembled in advance, warehoused in company
facilities, and then used to fill incoming orders.
Your company maintains regional facilities in Milan, Italy; Singapore, Sao Paulo, Brazil;
and
Dallas, Texas to handle the company's marketing efforts in each of the world's principal
geographic regions. to support the merchandising efforts of area retailers who stock the
company's brand of action-capture cameras and UAV drones. and to process
camera/drone
warranty claims (including making needed repairs) originating in their respective
geographic
regions.
The unmanned aerial view (UAV) drones assembled at the Taiwan plant are sold
directly to
buyers at the company's website and to other online retailers of commercial drones in
each
geographic region.
The company makes the majority of the needed camera components at facilities close
to its Taiwan assembly plant; newly-produced camera components are transferred by
truck on a just-in-time basis to the company's camera assembly facilities where the
company operates a 250-person assembly line capable of turning out 3.250 cameras
per hour. There is ample space at the camera assembly facility to add two more 250-
person assembly lines should they be needed later to fill incoming buyer orders.
Once the company's action-capture cameras are assembled and tested. the company
ships
them across the world to multi-store chains and online retailers that sell electronics
products
and to a wide variety of local retail shops stocking and merchandising (or sometimes
renting)
action-capture cameras to their customers.
, 2. Worldwide unit sales of wearable, miniature action-capture cameras are reliably
projected to
grow
6-8% annually for Years 6-10 and then to grow at a slower 4-6% annual rate during the
Years 11-15.
at rates that can range from as little as 5% annually to as high as 15% annually.
about 10% annually through Year 15.
to grow 8-10% annually during Years 6-10 and then to grow at a slower 6-8% annual
rate
during the following five years (Years 11-15).
10% annually for Years 6-10. and then slow gradually to 5% annually during Years 11-
15.
3. Which of the following is NOT accurate as concerns the online retailers of
unmanned aerial view
drones and/or the buyers of unmanned aerial view drones?
The vast majority of drone shoppers consider the widely-available and much-publicized
annual P/Q ratings compiled by the Global Alliance for Safe and Responsible Use of
Commercial Drones to be a trusted measure of the performance and quality of
competing
brands of drones.
The purchasers of drones in North America are less sensitive to cross-brand
differences in P/Q ratings than are drone purchasers in Latin America; rather. the
biggest factor affecting the purchase decisions of North American drone buyers are
the retail prices being charged for the various brands of UAV drones.
Market research confirms that the prior-year overall images/brand reputations of rival
dronemakers have a moderately strong influence on the brand choices of drone buyers
in the
upcoming twelve months.
Because your company sells its UAV drone models at the company's own website in
direct
competition with other online retailers of UAV drones, these online retailers are inclined
to
stock and display your company's brand of drones only if they can purchase your drone
models at an attractive percentage discount to the price being charged on your website.
When two brands of drones have slightly different prices and P/Q ratings (and all other
buyer
considerations are. on balance, an even tradeoff between the two brands), then a
bigger
percentage of buyers in Europe-Africa will purchase the brand with the higher P/Q rating
while a bigger percentage of buyers in the Asia-Pacific region will purchase the
cheaperpriced brand.
