Pricing Strategies

This is going to be a fun, but challenging assignment. So start WAY early!! Read Chapter 16. Select a company and interview the owner/manager regarding their pricing strategies and methods. Report on your findings. Ideally, this will be your current company, but you may need to be resourceful and find a business owner or manager from another company who is willing to visit with you. Your goal is to discover the following:

  1. What is the company’s pricing objective? For this question, it would helpful to show the interviewee a list of the pricing objectives on page 469 with very brief descriptions.(I suggest that you either highlight the first 1-3 sentences under each objective and then show the interviewee the highlighted descriptions in your text OR simply retype them on another sheet of paper for use in the interview).
  2. How sensitive are the company’s target customers to changes in price? (I suggest that you give them options on this question such as “highly reactive to price changes,” “moderately sensitive to price changes,” and “low sensitivity to price changes.”)
  3. Do they have some target segments that are less price sensitive than others?
  4. How much consideration does the company give to competitors’ prices when setting their own?
  5. What method of pricing do they use to arrive at the final price for the customer? For this question, you should be very familiar with the methods found under “Step 5″ on pages 475-480 before the interview, but do not ask the interviewee to select from among them. Instead, simply listen to the description of their pricing method(s) and process. Then, after the interview, try to determine which of the textbook’s methods the company uses. You do not need to request or report exact markups or profit margins! You should make this clear when requesting the interview! We are looking for methods of pricing, not exact figures.

Important note: This is your chance to do some “primary research.” I understand that it may be difficult to find a willing interviewee, but I expect you to try earnestly. If you fail to find a willing owner/manager after at least 7 attempts at different companies, then please email me and I will assist you. Don’t overlook companies owned by friends, people at your church, and those in your old hometown. In your post, you do not need to reveal the name of the company you interviewed or its location. You should, however, reveal the industry, the nature of the business (deli, grocery store, gift shop, nursery, barber, etc), and a rough idea of the size (single mom and pop or multi-location). If the business owner/manager is hesitant about what you may write, offer to submit your post to them for review before posting it.

Report your findings here by Sunday at midnight. Remember to make at least two quality peer responses this week!

You will require access to excel to complete at least one question in this quiz. See, for example, the practice sets which require you use =rate(nper,pmt,pv,[fv],[type],[guess]) function in excel to calculate bond yield. In using this function, fv is the face value.

Remember yield to maturity is expressed as an annual rate. Coupon rate is also expressed as annual rate (i.e total annual coupons/par value)

As per lecture advice, assume par value is $1000 unless otherwise stated.

Question text

The Australian Treasury has issued 10-year zero coupon bonds with a face value of $1,000. Assume that coupon payments are normally semiannual. What will be the current market price of these bonds if the YTM for similar investments in the market is 6.25 percent? (Round to the nearest dollar.)

Select one:

Suppose an investor earned a yield of 7.6 percent p.a on a bond paying coupons twice a year. What is the effective annual yield (EAY) on this investment? (answer as a percentage rounded to two decimal places without % sign. eg 2.889% would be written 2.89)

What is the value (to the nearest cent) of a 4 year 8.6% coupon bond with a face value of $1,000. The yield-to-maturity on the bond is 5.3% and the bond makes semi-annual coupon payments.

Select one:

Jill is interested in a 9-year bond which pays a coupon of 4.1 percent annually and trades at a yield of 14.7% per annum. The face value is $1,000. What is the current price of this bond? (to the nearest cent)

Select one:

Jill wants to invest in a four-year bond that pays a coupon of 11 percent annually. The bonds are selling at $962.13 today and have a face value of $1,000. If she buys this bond and holds it to maturity, what would be the yield? (USE EXCEL or FINANCIAL CALCULATOR. Round to the closest answer.)

  • The particle size of municipal solid waste (MSW) is best described by a distribution of particle sizes. Referring to Figure 4-12 (p. 145):
  • Properties of MSW (For parts A-C, show all of your work for the problems.)
  • A local municipality is selling landfill capacity to a neighboring communities to generate additional revenue for the community. The following specifications are known about the facility:
  • Hammermill Shredder
  • List the waste categories that have a larger particle size than the composite curve.
  • List the waste categories that have a smaller particle size than the composite curve.
  • As the blades on the shredder unit begin to wear, will the particle size of the composite curve be shifted towards larger or smaller particles? Explain how you came to your answer.
  • Looking at Table 4-3 (p. 148), will Houston, TX, or Wilmington, DE, have a coarser particle size distribution? Explain how you came to this determination using best practices in solid waste management. (Your total response for all parts of this question should be at least 200 words.)
  • As a consultant, your client hands you literature that it has received from two manufacturers of shredder equipment. The bulk density specifications of unit “A” is 29.3 lb/ft3 and the bulk density of unit “B” is 435 kg/m3. Which unit will deliver a higher bulk density refuse? Show your work.
  • Referring to Fig 4-1 (p. 127), how far above the floor is the bulk density of the stored MSW when it is compressed to 200 kg/m3?
  • What is the potential concern of the facility manager if the moisture content of the stored MSW is 60%?
  • Prepare a table that compares two different shredder technologies presented in the textbook. In the table, list the advantages and disadvantages for each technology. When preparing the table, think about how your two chosen shredders have evolved over time to meet the needs of solid waste engineers. Include information about this in your table. (Your total response for Part D of this question should be at least 100 words.)
  • 25 acres are reserved for use by neighboring communities.
  • The volume of waste that can go into the landfill will be limited to 2.5 million yd3
  • The neighboring communities are required to deliver MSW at a density of 750 lb/yd3
  • How much revenue can the landfill generate if it charges $45/ton for the waste received from the neighboring communities? Show all work.
  • If the landfill purchases a compressor capable of delivering 1,350 lb/yd3, how much additional revenue can the landfill generate? Show all work.
  • Refer to Fig. 4-6 (p. 138). What pressure needs to be applie to the refuse to deliver a compressed waste to the landfill of 500 lb/yd3?
  • The landfill is developing criteria for purchasing another compression unit. At what pressure must the compressor operate to get a bulk density of 1,080 lb/yd3? (For Parts A-D, show all of your work.)
  • What are some of the best practice alternatives that will also generate income to offset landfill operational costs that the municipality might consider if the economics do not support selling landfill capacity to a neighbor? (Your total response for Part E should be at least 200 words.)
  • Figure 4-9 (p. 142) shows a diagram of a vertical hammer shredder. Describe the function of the top half of the unit. What happens if the unit does not properly operate?
  • What is the function of the lower half of the unit? What happens if the unit does not properly operate?
  • Define what is meant by characteristic size? (For Parts A-C, show all of your work.)
  • Using Fig 4-16 (p. 151), does the characteristic size (XO) of the refuse change as higher levels of refuse are processed? How would you explain to your client the variability that you see in the graphs? (Your total response for Part D should be at least 75 words).
