Gary Radio Corporation is a subsidiary of Salem Companies. Gary makes car radios that it sells to retail outlets. It purchases speakers for the radios from outside suppliers for $56 each. Recently, Salem acquired the Hyden Speaker Corporation, which makes car radio speakers that it sells to manufacturers. Hyden produces and sells approximately 200,000 speakers per year, which represents 70 percent of its operating capacity. At the present volume of activity, each speaker costs $48 to produce. This cost consists of a $32 variable cost component and an $16 fixed cost component. Hyden sells the speakers for $60 each. The managers of Gary and Hyden have been asked to consider using Hyden's excess capacity to supply Gary with some of the speakers that it currently purchases from unrelated companies. Both managers are evaluated based on return on investment. Hyden's manager suggests that the speakers be supplied at a transfer price of $60 each (the current selling price). On the other hand, Gary's manager suggests a $56 transfer price, noting that this amount covers total cost and provides Hyden a healthy contribution margin.
a. What transfer price would you recommend?
b. Discuss the effect of the intercompany sales on each manager's return on investment.
c. Should Hyden be required to use more than excess capacity to provide speakers to Gary? In other words, should it sell to Gary some of the 200,000 units that it is currently selling to unrelated companies? Why or why not?

QUESTION ONE (1)
Unibic India: From Fastest Growing Niche Cookie Brand to a Challenger?
In 2007, Lighthouse Funds acquired a 25% stake in Unibic from Unibic Australia for Rs. 200 million. In 2010, Unibic Australia started making losses and wanted to withdraw from the Indian market. At that time, Unibic operated solely in the premium, high-margin cookies segment in India, with a share of around 8%. It had a market presence primarily in south India and was exporting to the Middle East and Hong Kong. It had strategic alliances to make cookies for various private players. However, it was not yet making profits and was cash- strapped...
Over the next few years, Unibic grew rapidly. Its growth was primarily fueled by the changes sweeping through the Indian biscuit industry, wherein glucose biscuits that had dominated the market, gradually lost out to cream biscuits and cookies. The reasons for the shift included rising disposable incomes leading to an increase in consumption of premium biscuits; a larger number of manufacturing facilities of premium biscuits; growing health awareness; innovation bringing in attractive new products; rising affordability of cookies; and increase in eye-catching packaging...
Over the years, Unibic regularly introduced fresh and unique flavors, ultimately producing over 30 variants of cookies. Its products could be broadly categorized into chocolate, butter, milk, savory, and health. The company considered its target market to be between the ages of 14 and 40. It continued its efforts at innovation and produced new products which would appeal to its target market...
In 2015, Unibic had used celebrity endorsement by signing on south Indian actor Shruti Hassan, for over a year. It stated that it wanted someone who was relevant and would give the brand a boost to get to the numbers it wanted in the South...
Unibic didn’t advertise much in print media; TV remained the company’s core focus and got the largest chunk of its advertising spend, followed by digital and OOH. Instead of following the traditional strategy of having a similar marketing campaign across markets, Unibic employed a unique strategy in each market, thereby playing to its strengths in each market while keeping in mind the market conditions and consumption patterns...
From 2019 onward, Unibic started feeling the heat of the economic slowdown in India. The Indian economic slowdown of 2019 led to a serious and continuing decline in the country’s real estate, automobile and construction sectors and in overall consumption demand. The second quarter (July- September) of the financial year (April 2019-March 2020) witnessed a drastic fall in the gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate to 4.5%. The main reasons attributed to the fall in the GDP growth rate were – contraction in manufacturing activity, weakened investments, and lower consumption demand.
As of 2020, Unibic had the largest wire cut cookie manufacturing plant in India. The plant had the capability to manufacture 100 tonnes of cookies each day, with five production lines. While it used 98% of its production capability to produce its own brand, the rest was used to manufacture for private label brands – six in India and 10 across the world. It had annual revenu7 es of Rs. 5 billion. It also exported its products to more than 21 countries including across Australia, North America, the UK, and Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and New Zealand. It derived 45% of its earnings from the south of India.
Questions:
a) Explain three factors that had a negative impact on the financial performance of Unibic in its early years.
b) Which environmental force did Unibic use in segmenting its market? What is this force about? (6 marks)
c) What does the following statement suggest to you about Unibic: “It continued its efforts at innovation and produced new products which would appeal to its target market”? (3 marks)
DC: ACD01-F004

d) Which marketing strategy did Unibic use in 2015 and explain any two (2) reasons why firms adopt that strategy? (9 marks)
