BNK603 Ass # 1 Idea Solution


Question 1:

Strategic Economies don’t drive from Operational Excellence, but from the business concept itself.

Strategic Economies

Unlike operational efficiencies, Strategic Economies don’t drive from Operational Excellence, but from the business concept itself. Strategic Economic come in three varieties:

1. Scale
2. Focus
3. Scope

1. Scale

Scale can derive efficiencies in many ways through:
  • Better Plant Utilization
  • Greater Purchasing Power
  • The Muscle to enforce industry wide price discipline Industries revolutionaries often consolidate fragmented industries. Any that gets caught behind the consolidation curve and misses the chance to build Scale Advantage will be left with a notable disadvantage

2. Focus

A company with a high degree of Focus & Specialization may reap economies compared with competitors
With a more diffused Business Mission and a less coherent mix of products & services.
Focus is not about efficiency in a cost sense; it’s about in a don’t-get-distracted, get-all-the-wood-behind one-Arrow sense.

3. Scope
The idea here is almost opposite of focus. A company that can leverage resources and management talents across a broad array of opportunities may have an efficiency advantage over firms that cannot. Scope
Economies come from sharing things across business units & countries; Brands, Facilities, Best Practices,
Scare Talent, IT Infrastructure, and so on. Scope Economies come in a variety of flavors; Channel Power & access to distribution channels, Economies in buying ad space & running high-tech distribution centers.

Fin630 Ass # 1 Idea Solution

'”"""Dividend Discount Model
Company A is currently selling for Rs. 90 and paying dividend of Rs. 10 per share. Dividend is expected to grow at rate of 5 percent per year. The required rate of return for investors is 17% to invest in the stock with the degree of riskness. Company B is currently selling for Rs. 85 and paying dividend of Rs. 10 per share. For
the next year dividend is Rs. 10.6 per share, which shows growth rate of 6 percent per year. The required rate of return for investors is 17% to invest in the stock with the
degree of riskness.
A) Calculate the price of stock for Company A and Company B using Dividend Discount Model.
B) If you have to choose one of these two stocks, which stock you will buy?
C) If both companies have decided not to pay cash dividend but they are offering 10% stock dividend. If you are holding 500 shares of Company A and 1,000 shares of Company B, calculate total number of shares of each Company you will hold after receiving stock dividend.
 
Part A solution:-
Po for A = D(1+g)/r-g
Po = 10(1+0.05)/0.17 – 0.05
Po = 10(1.05)/0.12
Po = 10.5/0.12
Po = 87.5

Po for B = D(1+g)/r-g
Po = 10(1+0.06)/0.17 – 0.06
Po = 10(1.06)/0.11
Po = 10.6/0.11
Po = 96.36

Solution Part B:-

In part B I will buy the stock of company "B" because its current market price is low than fair price which we have calculated by using dividend discount model. Stock of company "B" also has greater growth rate than stock of Company "A"
Solution of Par C

Company offers 10% stock dividend to all shareholders. Means that if you own 100 shares than company will give you 10 more shares free of cost. Number of shares increases but Total Value of Firm is unchanged.

Company A = 500 Share x 10%
Company A = 500 Share x 0.10
Company A = 50
Total Number of Shares = 500+50
Total Number of Share = 550 shares

Company B = 1000 Share x 10%
Company B = 1000 Share x 0.10
Company B = 100
Total Number of Shares = 1000+100
Total Number of Shares = 1100 shares

MKT624 Ass # 1 Idea Solution

Q # 01: Why do you think it is important to convert a product into a brand?

Answer: Because a brand name is a specific notation, or word for a product or service. It is a trademark that identifies a brand. It comes under the proprietary rights of a company. In fact if a company is expanding internationally then it becomes necessary for the company to adopt such a brand name and logo which can prove an excellent identity for the company. After the invention of advertising, in 1930 the concept of brand name emerged. Have you ever noticed that people who are brand conscious always love to use branded products which have a brand name on it
Importance of a brand name in advertisement is also clear if you think for a while that whenever the name of fast food comes you think about McDonald, and Subways. After making a strong brand positioning, brand name of the company becomes its identification and a tool of marketing and promotion.



Q#02: State five of your favorite brands and discuss briefly why they are so dear to you?

Wall’s dairy ice cream. It is so dear to me because not even a single time I went fad up by buying it because it is a largest selling brand in ice cream products & has a very wide range of products in a single banner. So whether if talk about taste or about quality & flavor, it will win all the time & I can bet upon it. The major motive to choose this product is, its international recognition & I feel pride to be a part of such product.

Gourmet sweets & bakers. If we talk about confectioners then the largest selling brand in sweets & bakery products in big cities of our country is Gourmet. Whenever I visited their outlets, every Time I enjoyed their privilege & clean environment. All the stuff is so much dainty & hygienic there & whenever I want to buy some confectioners for relatives or friends then there is only one name in mind, “Gourmet” Also there is a pride of buying quality products which has its recognition too.

Virtual University. If we talk about educational institutes then VU is one of that institutes which are spreading knowledge at our door steps. Its online study system is very helpful especially for females & working students. The way of learning is so simple that a student if regularly attends the lectures, always gets the degree. The main benefit of this institute is that the VU brand globally recognized which has its branches worldwide.

Gold Leaf. In cigarettes, gold leaf is a largest selling brand in Pakistan. This brand is its recognition in itself. The tobacco quality, packing quality & the brand logo enough for feeling pride among friends.

Nestle. If we talk about health products then globally there is one & only brand is arisen in our minds, Nestle. I feel proud to be a part of Nestle family due to its trust among customers.
