memo

The Jogger Shoe Company is trying to decide whether to make a change in its most popular brand of running shoes. The new style would cost the same to produce and be priced the same, but it would incorporate a new kind of lacing system that (according to its marketing research people) would make it more popular.

There is a fixed cost of $300,000 for changing over to the new style. The unit contribution to before-tax profit for either style is $8. The tax rate is 35%. Also, because the fixed cost can be depreciated and will therefore affect the after-tax cash flow, a depreciation method is needed. You can assume it is straight-line depreciation.

The current demand for these shoes is 190,000 pairs annually. The company assumes this demand will continue for the next three years if the current style is retained. However, there is uncertainty about demand for the new style, if it is introduced. The company models this uncertainty by assuming a normal distribution in year 1, with mean 220,000 and standard deviation 20,000. The company also assumes that this demand, whatever it is, will remain constant for the next three years. However, if demand in year 1 for the new style is sufficiently low, the company can always switch back to the current style and realize an annual demand of 190,000. The company wants a strategy that will maximize the expected net present value (NPV) of total cash flow for the next three years, where a 10% interest rate is used for the purpose of calculating NPV.

Realizing that the continuous normal demand distribution doesnt lend itself well to decision trees that require a discrete set of outcomes, the company decides to replace the normal demand distribution with a discrete distribution with five typical values. Specifically, it decides to use the 10th, 30th, 50th, 70th, and 90th percentiles of the given normal distribution. Why is it reasonable to assume that these five possibilities are equally likely? With this discrete approximation, how should the company proceed?

Each case study must be a minimum of original discussion and analysis, not counting the title page, reference page, figures, tables, and appendixes. The statements in each Case Study must be supported by biblicalintegration and at least 2 scholarly references, cited throughout the narrative and placed on the reference list in the APA format. Case Study assigned questions are listed in the chart below.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool. The tool is a starting point for instructors to check overall Academic Integrity and higher scores generally indicate a higher probability of Academic Misconduct. The higher a score the higher the probability that there are too high a percentage of quotations included in the narrative, and/or there are passages that have not been properly cited.

yourself in the position of the union agent.

Develop a zone of possible agreement (ZOPA) and BATNA position for the union based on your review of the Final Project Case Study. As you develop your response, answer the following questions:

• If the union could not negotiate an agreement for the employees, would the union consider a strike?
• What options could the union offer that could move negotiations toward meeting the employees goals?

Determine the unions BATNA. It is important to do this step before entering into negotiations to ensure that the union representative, Jevaun, does not agree to unfavorable conditions. Questions that can help formulate the unions BATNA include the ones listed below.

• What do you think are the main goals of the union in the Final Project Case Study?
• If an agreement cant be reached, then what compromises could the union consider?
• What creative alternatives could the union consider based on the interests of the organization?
• What trade-offs on the standard ZOPA exist that could result in a creative, successful agreement?
