Analyzing a market

February 15, 2021 Leave a comment Business and Management, Undergraduate

Based on a current event, that you have either learn from direct experience, read on the news, read from an Economics journal, or taken from a high-quality source, please do the following exercise. In a paragraph or two:

Clearly identify the market you are analyzing. Describe a situation or event that is affecting that market and clearly identify how and why the demand side of the market is affected, or the supply side of the market is affected.? Or both? In which direction (to the right or to the left) will the demand curve shift? or the supply curve? At the end of your example: will prices and quantity in equilibrium be higher or lower?

Example: I will analyze the market of great value sodas (off-brand sodas). The event is a recession. The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) that dates the business cycles in the United States has recently announced that as of February of 2020, the country entered a recession ( https://www.nber.org/cycles/june2020.html ). Analysis: since off-brand sodas are inferior goods, then I will expect that a reduction of income that usually goes with a recession will create an increase in the demand for inferior goods. For that reason, I will expect the demand for off-brand sodas to increase; the demand curve will shift to the right and most likely in a resulting the equilibrium price/quantity of off-brand sodas will be higher.

Your turn! Do not use example given!!

Week 5 Instructions For Final Paper:
You are the manager of Acme Fireworks, a fireworks retailer who sells fireworks, puts on ground display fireworks, and large aerial display fireworks. The company started in the owners garage two years ago and now has 15 employees that you manage. The company started as a sole proprietorship, and the owner has never changed the entity. The owner has informed you that the company has received inquiries from several large businesses wondering if the company could create several fireworks displays on a regular basis. The owner told the inquirers that the company could fill such display orders, and a price per display was agreed upon. It was discussed that most of the cost for a fireworks display is for skilled labor, insurance, and the actual service of setting off the fireworks. No other details were discussed. The owner is anticipating that new employees will need to be hired, but he is worried that if the large orders for fireworks displays do not continue, the company will not have the funds to pay the new employees. The owner is now considering changing the business entity, but he does not know what entity to form or how to form it.

The owner has asked you to do the following:

Determine if the contracts with the businesses will be governed by common law or the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), and explain why.
Analyze whether the owner formed a contract with the businesses, and apply the five essential elements of an enforceable contract.
Explain the potential personal liability to Acme Fireworks if a spectator is injured by a stray firework from a fireworks display.
Discuss the different employment types and relationships relevant to agency law, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each type specific to Acme Fireworks.
Explain why Acme Fireworks should not operate as a sole proprietorship. Recommend a new business entity, and provide rationale to support your recommendation.
For each task, be sure to analyze the relevant law, apply the facts to the law, and make a conclusion.

Moncler & L’Oreal: partnership for the creation of a beauty line

February 15, 2021 Leave a comment Business and Management, Undergraduate

I have to write a report on Moncler and my idea is to introduce a beauty line only for winter products (face mask, face cream + moisturizing serum, hand cream, nourishing oil for the body and hair, lip balm ) by making a partnership with l’Oral, a long-term license agreement for the creation, development and distribution of luxury beauty products for Moncler.

OUTCOME:  word document

The report should be structured in the following way:

PART 1A.: BRAND ANALYSIS MONCLER

–    Vision
–    Mission
–    Values
–    Key financial figures (3 years)  EBITDA, EBIT, net income, net financial position, assessing leverage, ROE, ROS, ROI, business outlook, consolidated revenues, consolidated operating and net results

PART 1B: BRAND ANALYSIS LOREAL

IMPLEMENTATION

Notes: Take inspiration of the partnership between LOreal and Prada group (long-term license agreement for the creation, development and distribution of luxury beauty products for the Prada brand. This agreement will allow the two companies to combine their expertise in each of their own sectors) https://www.pradagroup.com/en/news-media/news-section/prada-and-loreal.html
