PLEASE FILL OUT ALL THE BLANKS! THANK YOU
Exercise #2: You are a product developer for Banana Republic. At Emporio Armani, you find a stretch woven short of 95% cotton and 5% spandex which would be perfect for development. You cut it in half and Fed Ex one half to your agent in Hong Kong. Your agent in Hong Kong gets a 6% commission. He goes to his salesman at Excel Pants who estimates a fabric cost of $3.50 per yard and a fabric consumption of 2.2 yards per short. CMT on the garment will be $4.00 per piece. Sea freight from Hong Kong will cost $.40, and Misc. charges will run $1.10 per short. The other half short is sent to Sri Lanka. The agent there gets a 5% commission. She finds out that the fabric is unavailable in Sri Lanka and will have to be imported. This brings the fabric cost to $4.50 per yard; the consumption is estimated by Royal Sri Slacks Co. at 2 yards per short. CMT is lower in Sri Lanka... for this garment it will be $3.00. Sea freight is high from Sri Lanka, $.75 per garment. Misc. charges will run $1.00 per garment. How much will this short land from each of the 2 countries? Based on price alone, which country would you pick to do this program in?

Let's assume that Polo uses a 55% markup and Bloomingdale's uses a 50% markup. Let's also assume that Banana Republic uses a 65% markup on their private label.
