Minicase 15.1 – Method of Entry –The McGrew Company
$10.00Minicase 15.1 – Method of Entry –The McGrew Company
The McGrew Company, a manufacturer of peanut com- bines, has for years sold a substantial number of machines in Brazil. However, a Brazilian firm has begun to manufacture them, and McGrew’s local distributor has told Jim Allen, the president, that if McGrew expects to maintain its share of the market, it will also have to manufacture locally. Allen is in a quandary. The market is too good to lose, but McGrew has had no experience with foreign manufacturing operations. Because Brazilian sales and repairs have been handled by the distributor, no one in McGrew has had any firsthand experience in that country.
Allen has made some rough calculations that indicate the firm can make money by manufacturing in Brazil, but the firm’s lack of marketing expertise in the country troubles him.
He calls in Joan Beal, the export manager, and asks her to prepare a list of all the options open to McGrew, with their advantages and disadvantages. Allen also asks Beal to indi- cate her preference.
Answer the following questions. This paper should be 3 pages. It should be single spaced, 12 size font, Times New Roman font style.
- Assume you are Joan Beal. Prepare a list of all the options, and give the advantages and disadvantages of each.
- Which of the options would you recommend?
- Assuming that the president’s calculations are correct and that a factory to produce locally the number of machines that McGrew now exports to Brazil will offer a satisfactory return on investment, what special information about Brazil will you want to gather?

Consider a consumer who each week purchases two goods, X and Y…
$12.00Consider a consumer who each week purchases two goods, X and Y. The following table shows three different combinations of the two goods that lie on three of her indifference curves—A,B, and C.
Indifference Curve Quantities of goods X and Y, respectively Quantitities of goods X and Y, respectively Quantities of goods X and Y, respectively A 1 unit of X and 4 of Y 2 units of X and 2 of Y 3 units of X and 1 of Y B 1 unit of X and 7 of Y 3 units of X and 2 of Y 5 units of X and 1 of Y C 2 units of X and 5 of Y 4 units of X and 3 of Y 7 units of X and 2 of Y 1. With good X on the horizontal axis and good Y on the vertical axis, draw the implied indifference curves. Be sure to label all curves and axes completely.
2. On Curve A, what is the marginal rate of substitution (MRS) between the first two combinations of goods X and Y?
3. Suppose this consumer has $500 available to spend on goods X and Y and that each costs $100. Add her budget line to the graph you drew in part (a). What is the slope of the budget line?
4. What is the utility-maximizing combination of goods X and Y for this consumer? (Assume in this exercise that the utility-maximizing combination always occurs at one of the combinations shown in the table.)
5. What is the MRS at the utility-maximizing combination?
6. Now suppose the price of good X falls to $50. Draw the new budget line onto your graph and identify the utility-maximizing combination. What is the MRS at the utility-maximizing combination? How much of each good does she consume?
7. Draw the demand curve for good X between prices of $50 and $100, assuming it is linear in this range.

$1.00Choco Delite is a manufacturer of fine chocolates. It’s monthly rental expense is $1,000,000. It has 2 million in fixed labor costs. Its marginal costs are $.70 per chocolate bar. If sales fall by 30 percent from 2 million chocolate bars per month to 1,400,000 chocolate bars per month, what happens to the AFC per chocolate bar? The MC per chocolate bar? what about the minimum amount that can be charged to break even on these costs?

- Construct a graph showing supply and demand in the E-Book market, using Excel.
- How are the Laws of Supply and Demand illustrated in this graph Explain your answers.
- What is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market?
- Assume that the government imposes a price floor of $12 in the E-Book market. What would happen in this market?
- Assume that the price floor is removed and a price ceiling is imposed at $6. What would happen in this market?
- Now assume that the price of E-Readers (used with E-Books) drops by fifty percent. How would this change impact the demand for E-Books? Explain your answer and reconstruct the graph developed in question one to show this change.
Present your analysis in Excel format. Enter non-numerical responses in the same worksheet using textboxes.
