1. Contribution After Marketing

Assume that the sales forecast for brand TOJO is 160,000 units, and that you expect to sell 50% of these units through mass merchandisers, 25% via specialty stores, and 25% through online stores.  As the brand manager, you have specified a retail price of $300. The unit transfer cost is $109. You plan to spend $2.2 million on media placement and advertising research, and another $1.8 million on the commercial team.

Based on the information provided calculate the anticipated "contribution after marketing" next period for brand TOJO.  Show your work.

2. Market Analysis and Logic:

The following table displays key information for three brands, each of which targets Hi Earners.  The bottom row displays Hi Earners' shopping habits and ideal values for economy, performance, convenience.  Please note that each brand was introduced to the market at the same time.  Based on this information, explain why brands SUPER and TITANIUM have less market share than brand MARVEL.  Provide a well-reasoned and insightful answer.
