Assignment 3: Supply and Demand Concepts

You have been hired by a new firm selling electronic dog feeders. Your client has asked you to gather some data on the supply and demand for the feeder, which is given below, and address several questions regarding the supply and demand for these feeders.

Price/Feeder	Quantity Demanded	Quantity Supplied
$300	500	1800
270	600	1700
240	700	1600
210	800	1500
180	1000	1400
150	1100	1300
120	1200	1200
90	1300	1100
60	1400	1000
30	1500	900
10	1600	800

Your client has asked that you develop a report addressing the following questions so that you can present these findings to their Board of Directors:

Questions:

1. Construct a graph showing supply and demand in the electronic dog feeder market, using Microsoft Excel.
2. How are the laws of supply and demand illustrated in this graph? Explain your answers.
3. What is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market?
4. Assume that the government imposes a price floor of $180 in the feeder market. What would happen in this market?
5. Assume that the price floor is removed and a price ceiling is imposed at $90. What would happen in this market?
6. Now, assume that the price of feeders drops by 50%. How would this change impact the demand for feeders? Explain your answer and reconstruct the graph developed in question one to show this change.
7. Assume that incomes of the consumers in this market increases. What would happen in this market? Explain your answer and reconstruct the graph developed in question one to show this change.
8. Assume that the number of sellers decreases in this market. What would happen in this market? Explain your answer and reconstruct the graph developed in question one to show this change.
9. Explain the difference between a normal good and an inferior good. Would your answers to question 7 change depending on whether this good is a normal or inferior good? Why?

For this assignment, use your coursepack to review the case of “Elizabeth Arden: Executing Global Supply Chain Re-Engineering” by Gao and Wood. In 2–4 double-spaced pages, analyze this case and address the following questions:

• Analyze the differences between the current supply chain and the proposed turnkey strategy.
  • What will the change mean for suppliers and their roles? What will it mean for current employees and their roles?

• Calculate the total financial impact for the re-engineering effort. What does this mean for Elizabeth Arden and its shareholders?
• Assume the role of Pierre Pirard, what would you do and why?

Review the Word document called “Life Straw” it’s in the attachment and create a 2 pages typed response to the case.

Imagine you are looking for a position in your future career. You know it is important to have your personal brand on social media.  Career Services discusses the use of social media sites such as LinkedIn™ to create your personal brand and market your skills and education.

In the US today, many middle-aged adults are caring for their own children as well as aging parents.  What strategies, advice, information could potentially help this group?

 

Then respond to this classmate…..

 

In the U.S, people are living longer as well as living in their homes longer. Whether elders are living in their own homes, or with family, they often have their adult children helping out. This could range from just doing heavy housework once a week, to residing with the family and requiring assistance with bathing, dressing, eating. This is a major role change for the middle-aged adults. They have been the children of their parents and now becoming their caretakers. Just this role change alone can be difficult for adults. On top of that, they may be taking care of their own children.

I believe it would be important to focus on not treating their own children and their parents the same. Although they both may need help bathing, there is still a difference in the way they should be cared for. Also, caretaker burden is a real and critical aspect of this situation. Taking advantage of respite care can help relieve this stress while taking time for themselves. Taking the opinions and advice from other family members may be helpful in creating a back-up plan if things get to be too much of a strain.

 

A preventative approach to this situation is while parents are still at home, their family may want to adapt their homes to make it a more livable place when they age.  This includes making sure bedrooms and bathrooms have the necessary equipment and hazards are eliminated to prevent falls and injury
