After spending $300,000 for research and development, chemists at Diversied Citrus Industries have developed a new breakfast drink. The drink, called Zap, will provide the consumer with twice the amount of vitamin C currently available in breakfast drinks. Zap will be packaged in an 8ounce can and will be introduced to the breakfast drink market, which is estimated to be equivalent to 21 million 8-ounce cans nationally. One major management concern is the lack of funds available for marketing. Accordingly, management has decided to use newspapers (rather than television) to promote Zap in the introductory year and dis- tribute Zap in major metropolitan areas that account for 65 percent of US. breakfast drink volume. Newspaper advertising will carry a coupon that will entitle the consumer to receive $0.20 off the price of the first can purchased. The retailer will receive the regular margin and be reimbursed for redeemed coupons by Diversified Citrus Industries. Past experience indicates that for every ve cans sold during the introductory year, one coupon will be returned. The cost of the newspaper advertising campaign (excluding coupon returns) will be $250,000. Other fixed overhead costs are expected to be $90,000 per year. Management has decided that the suggested retail price to the con- sumer for the 80unce can Will be $0.50. The only unit variable costs for the product are $0.18 for materials and $0.06 for labor. The company in- tends to give retailers a margin of 20 percent off the suggested retail price and wholesalers a margin of 10 percent of the retailers' cost of the item. a.
