Synergyica, Inc. is a manufacturer and marketer of gas lamps for utilization in mining & natural resources operations. Total industry sales in this relevant market were $100 Million, with Synergyica's market share representing 5%.
Synergyica's contribution margin has steadily been 25%.
Synergyica's salesforce calls on their widespread distributor network to generate revenue. These distributors in turn sell the products to the industrial customers.
Distributors generate on average revenue of $10,000 per outlet for Synergyica.
Each sales rep earns $50,000 per year.
Synergyica has a corporate advertising & promotions campaign worth $640,000, which has managed to effectively maintain their brand awareness & image in the resources industry.
(a) Compute Synergyica's sales revenue.
Sales revenue is $5,000,000(5% of 100,000,000).
(b) Synergyica wants to increase their advertising budget by $200,000 to highlight their green initiatives and bolster brand presence further in the industry. This cost needs to be expensed.
~ What increase in dollar sales revenue would be needed to recoup this incremental advertising expenditure?
~ What increase in Synergyica's overall market share does this call for?
The increase in dollar sales revenue is $800,000 and the increase in overall market share is .8%.
What I need help with:
(c) Synergyica is seeking to hire 2 more sales reps to expand further territories in their network by gaining access to additional distributors. Their cost becomes relevant and must be expensed.
~ How many new distributors would be required to cover the cost of hiring these 2 new sales reps?
(d) Synergyica is considering a 10% reduction in the price of its offerings.
~ What absolute increase in its sales revenue would be needed to maintain the present line contribution (i.e., the present level of total contribution dollars)?
PLEASE show me work and give me and understanding why you used what figures and how you got them.
