Question 2 please! I also added pictures of the example problem they gave me

What is Cannibalization? Cannibalization results when the sales of a new product in part come from sales taken away from other products sold by that firm. Cannibalization most commonly occurs when a tem introduces a new flanker brand or line extension into the same product line in which it already has brand representation. For example, when Proctor & Gamble introduces a new brand of laundry detergent into its extensive line of detergents, some sales for the new brand will highly likely come at the expense of one or more of P&G's existing brands of laundry detergent, in other words, the sales of P&G's existing brand of laundry detergents will be cannibalized to support sales of the new brand The effects of cannibalization can be good or bad, depending on the overall effect on profitability for both the new brand and the cannibalized brands. Determining the effect on profitability is relatively easy. Let's examine a simple example of how it works Assume two brands of mouthwash prodidced by the same frm (PSG?). Relevant price and cost data for these brands are below. Brand A is currently sold at $1.00 per unit with associated variable costs per unit of 5.60 Brand B, the new brand to be Introduced, sells for a little less, say 5,95 per unit. Its costs per unit are the same as for Brand Ale $ 60 per unit . Note that the resulting unit contribution for Brand B (price minus unit variable costs) is $.35 which is 5,05 less than the unit contribution for Brand A. This means that for each unit of Brand A that is cannibalized by Brand B, the firm loses $.05 in contribution ve Brand A Brand B Price $ 1.00 S 0.95 Unit Variable costs $ 0.60 $ 0.60 Unit Contributions 0.40 5 0.35 Assume that management anticipates that when Brand Bis launched, 20% of its sales will come from sales that would have been for Brand A. In other words, 20% of Brand B's sales will be cannibalized from the sales of Brand A The net effect of this cannibalization on profits is easily found by comparing the contribution (eross profit) assuming Brand is not launched and therefore no cannibalization occurs) with the contribution (gross profit) expected from the launch of Brand B with the expected level of cannibalization Here is how the analysis proceeds. First, compute the expected contribution from the sales of Brand A with no cannibalization (ie. Brand is not launched). Assume that Brand A's sales without the introduction of Brand B are expected to be 1.000 units. Since the unit contribution for Brand Als $40 per unit, the overall resulting contribution (gross profit) will be 1,000 5.40 - $400.00. Easy! Next, compute the expected contribution dollars assuming that Brand B is taunched and the expected level of cannibalization occurs. Here is how this part proceeds Assume that Brand B is expected to sell only 500 units initially and that 20% of these sales will come from Brand Alle 20% of 500 equals 100 units that will be cannibalized from Brand A). The table below summarizes the computations. Since 100 units will be cannibalized from Brand As sales, the brand will now sell only 900 units. Since the profit per unit funit contribution) is $40, the resulting total contribution dollars from the sales of Brand A will be 900 x 5.40 - $360.00. Brand Bis expected to sell 500 units in total, with 100 of these units being cannibalized from Brand A. Therefore, Brand B's contribution dollars will be 100 units x 5.35 - $35.00 plus 400 units x 5.35 - $140.00 for an overall contribution of $535.00 The net change in contribution dollars if Brand is introduced is $535 5400 - $135. Thus contribution dollars are expected to increase by 5135 with the addition of Brand B to the product line of mouthwashes. Should the new brand be launched? The answer is clearly YES. Had overall contribution dollars declined due to Cannibalization then the decision would have been NO. Unit Variable costs $ 0.60 $ 0.60 Unit Contribution $ 0.40 $ 0.35 Assume that management anticipates that when Brand B is launched, 20% of its sales will come from sales that would have been for Brand A. In other words, 20% of Brand B's sales will be cannibalized from the sales of Brand A The net effect of this cannibalization on profits is easily found by comparing the contribution (gross profit) assuming Brand B is not launched (and therefore no cannibalization occurs) with the contribution (gross profit) expected from the launch of Brand 8 with the expected level of cannibalization Here is how the analysis proceeds. First, compute the expected contribution from the sales of Brand A with no cannibalization (.e. Brand B is not launched). Assume that Brand A's sales without the introduction of Brand B are expected to be 1,000 units. Since the unit contribution for Brand A is $.40 per unit, the overall resulting contribution (gross profit) will be 1,000 x $.40 - $400.00. Easy! Nextcompute the expected contribution dollars assuming that Brand B is launched and the expected level of cannibalization occurs. Here is how this part proceeds. Assume that Brand B is expected to sell only 500 units initially and that 20% of these sales will come from Brand Alle 20% of 500 equals 100 units that will be cannibalized from Brand A). The table below summarizes the computations. Since 100 units will be cannibalized from Brand A's sales, the brand will now sell only 900 units. Since the profit per unit (unit contribution) is $.40, the resulting total contribution dollars from the sales of Brand Awill be 900 x $ 40 - $360,00. Brand Bis expected to sell 500 units in total, with 100 of these units being cannibalized from Brand A. Therefore, Brand B's contribution dollars will be 100 units x 9.35 - $35.00 plus 400 units X $.35 - $140.00 for an overall contribution of $535.00 The net change in contribution dollars if Brand B is introduced is $535 - $400 - $135. Thus, contribution dollars are expected to increase by $135 with the addition of Brand B to the product line of mouthwashes. Should the new brand be launched? The answer is clearly YES. Had overall contribution dollars declined due to cannibalization then the decision would have been NO. Unit Sales Unit Contribution Contribution Unit Sales of Brand A (with cannibalization) 900 X $0.40 = 360.00 Unit Sales of Brand B cannibalized from 100 A) x $0.35 - $ 35.00 X $0.35 - $ 140,00 Unit Sales of Brand B (not cannibalized) 400 $ 535.00 Total You should also be aware by now that cannibalization will only be problematic potentially reducing dollar contribution, if the unit contribution for the new product is less than the unit contribution for the old product. The greater the difference between the unit contributions the greater the impact will be of any cannibalization of the old brand by the new brand. You can verify this for yourself if you have built a spreadsheet to run your calculations Now It's Your Turn. Show Us What You Have Learned. Returning to our running case for Shannon's Brewery introduced in the market share exercise, assume that Shannon's is considering the introduction of a new craft beer called Irish Stout that will be derived from its award-winning trish Red. Initially, Irish Stout will only be sold "on-premise' at the brewery. Currently, pints of Irish Red consumed on-premise sell for $5.00 per pint with unit variable costs of approximately $2.75 per pint , Variable costs are predominantly comprised of the costs of ingredients and utilities that directly affect the brewing process. The new craft beer will be positioned at a slightly higher price $5.25 per pint and les unit variable costs will be about $3.25 due to the higher cost of some ingredients. The relevant price, cost, and margin data are below. Irish Red Irish Stout Price $5.00 $ 5.25 Drive Unit Variable costs $ 2.75 $ 3.25 Unit Contribution $225 $ 2.00 Question 1 10 pts Shannon's Irish Red averages on premise sales of 1,200 pints per month.

Do not include the dollar sign 2.700 D Question 2 10 pts Assume that Shannon's estimates that the sales of the new Irish Stout will be about 250 pints per month, but 29% of these sales will be cannibalized from sales of Shannon's Irish Red. Compute the total combined increase or decrease incremental change) in contribution dollars for both Irish Red and Irish Stout expected with cannibalization.
