Daze is a product of the Digby company. Digby's sales forecast for Daze is 506 units. Digby wants to have an extra 10% of units on hand above and beyond their forecast in case sales are better than expected. (They would risk the possibility of excess inventory carrying charges rather than risk lost profits on a stock out.) Taking current inventory into account, what will Daze's Production After Adjustment have to be in order to have a 10% reserve of units available for sale?

Digby's Elite product Daze has an awareness of 72%. Digby's Daze product manager for the Elite segment is determined to have more awareness for Daze than Andrews' Elite product Adam. She knows that the first $1M in promotion generates 22% new awareness, the second million adds 23% more and the third million adds another 5%. She also knows one-third of Daze's existing awareness is lost every year. Assuming that Adam's awareness stays the same next year (77%), out of the promotion budgets below, what is the minimum Digby's Elite product manager should spend in promotion to earn more awareness than Andrews' Adam product?

Investing $2,000,000 in TQM's Channel Support Systems initiative will at a minimum increase demand for your products 1.7% in this and in all future rounds. (Refer to the TQM Initiative worksheet in the CompXM.xls Decisions menu.) Looking at the Round 0 Inquirer for Andrews, last year's sales were $162,769,926. Assuming similar sales next year, the 1.7% increase in demand will provide $2,767,089 of additional revenue. With the overall contribution margin of 33.6%, after direct costs this revenue will add $929,742 to the bottom line. For simplicity, assume that the demand increase and margins will remain at last year's levels. How long will it take to achieve payback on the initial $2,000,000 TQM investment, rounded to the nearest month?
