Q1. Calculate Annual Sales Volume Market Size 50.000.000 Market Share 48% FBXX Sales 24.000.000 Selling Price 1050 Units Sold (KG) 22.857
Q2. What is the problem of Freeman Biotest? The problem for Freeman Biotest is the controversy whether Freeman Biotest should replace one of the process lines with the same product lines (Brayford) or a new product lines (Bi-line 8) The V.P of Marketing and Technology want to use the Bi-Line 8 when V.P of Finance and Operations still want to use the Brayford.
Q2. What is the problem of Freeman Biotest? V.P Marketing: Higher demand in the future V.P Technology: By using Bi-Line 8, V.P Technology predicts an increase in market share for FBXX V.P Operations: High fixed cost No evidence in increase for demand Staff Reactions V.P Finance: Freeman Biotest had financed all its recent capital investment in other parts of the firm If there is a significant increase in demand, 3 lines of Brayford will be better than using Bi-Line 8
Q3 Should Freeman Biotest invest in a Brayford or a Bi-line 8 facility? Step 1 Measure Aggregate demand and capacity Step 2 Identify the alternative capacity plans Step 3 Choose the most appropriate capacity plans
Measure Aggregate demand and capacity Market Size $50.000.000 Market Share 48% FBXX Sales $24.000.000 Selling Price $1050/kg Annual Units Sold (KG) 22.857 kg Units sold (KG/Months) 1.904 kg per month
Measure Aggregate demand and capacity Process line configuration Brayford Bi line 8 Capacity (KG/Month) 1,050 1,400 Annual Capacity (KG) 12,600 16,800
Identify the alternative capacity plans Process line config Brayford Bi-line 8 Capital cost $5,900,000 $8,800,000 Processing cost Fixed $150,000 $400,000 Variable $750 $600 Design 1,050 kg/months 1,400 kg/months Capacity 98% +- 0.7 99.5% +- 0.2 Quality Manual testing Automatic testing Maintenance Adequate but needs servicing Not known probably good After sales services Very good Not known unlikely good Delivery Three months Immediate
Capacity Scenario per-month Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Brayford Bi line 8 Capacity (Kg/Month) 1,050 1,400 Total 2,100 2,450
Profit Margin per Unit Pricing Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Brayford Brayford Bi-line 8 Variable $787,500 $840,000 Fixed $150,000 $400,000 Total cost $1,875,000 $2,177,500 Total capacity 2,100 kg/months 2,450 kg/months Cost per Unit $893/kg $889/kg Selling Price $1050/kg Profit Margin $157/kg $161/kg
Recommendations Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Brayford Bi line 8 Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Brayford Bi line 8 Capacity (Kg/Month) 1,050 1,400 Total 2,100 2,450 Actual Demand 1,905 Forecasting Demand 2,286 We recommend that Freeman Biotest should buy the Bi-Line8, because: Profit margin higher, hence Freeman Biotest can lower the price of the FBXX Lowering price of FBXX, resulting in higher demand To cope up with demand, which forecasted by the V.P Marketing Bi-Line 8 delivery is right away, when Brayford need to wait 3 months to deliver.
Q4 What are the other options? Scenario 3 Brayford Bi-line 8 Variable cost $840,000 Fixed $400,000 Total cost $2,480,000 Total capacity $2,800 Cost per unit $886 Margin per unit $164 The 3rd Scenario (Change both Brayford with Bi-Line 8): Positive Impact Higher Margin Ability to decrease sales price, which will increase the demand of FBXX Negative Impact Need a huge sum of money to invest Have to throw away a good condition Brayford machine
