The ABC Company manufactures and markets commercial grade
fitness equipment. The senior management team is meeting for
its second annual strategic planning session. While strategic
plans usually encompass 3–5 years of the planning horizon, the
CEO has asked that, for now, everyone concentrate only on
years 1–3.
At the conclusion of the session, staff members will begin
working on their individual plans and budgets for the coming
year. The accounting manager will end up compiling all the
budgets for incorporation into the strategic plan book.
ABC Background and Current Situation
Company:
· ABC develops, domestically manufacturers, markets, and sells
commercial-grade, strength-training fitness equipment, like that
found in a health club.
· It has created a patented, revolutionary line of strength
training equipment, which has clearly allowed the company to
be positioned as the "innovative leader" in the market place,
addressing the fitness trend of "core training."
· The company is considering adding a line of cardiovascular
(CV) training equipment including treadmills and exercise
bikes.
· Its entire staff is well respected in the industry.
· Although its sales are exclusively in the United States it has,
from time to time, considered expanding into international
sales. International market growth has historically been at a rate
5–8% faster than domestic sales
Products:
· The industry breaks its product groups into cardiovascular and
strength-training products. The profitability/piece overall is
greatest on the strength-training equipment although the dollar
value of total industry sales is 2:1 in favor of the CV
equipment. However, from a COGS perspective CV COGS is
equal to strength COGS + 15%.
· While ABC has in fact developed a revolutionary line of
strength equipment addressing core training, duplicating this
innovation in the CV line has proven to be beyond the reach of
any manufacturer in the industry in the last 10–15 years,
primarily due to the very high cost of developing something
truly revolutionary for a product line of relatively low-margin
and high-warranty costs.
Industry:
· As the health and fitness craze continues in America and
around the world, the overall market is expected to grow 5–8%
a year.
· The overseas, international fitness equipment market is
growing 5–8% faster than the domestic growth rate.
· There are currently seven bonafide manufacturers of this
fitness equipment: the two largest offer "one stop shop" product
offerings (CV and strength products) and garner the highest
market share; the other five specialize only in either strength or
CV only equipment. There is talk of one or more of the CV
manufacturers merging with one or more of the strength
manufacturers.
· The customers—primarily health clubs and YMCAs—are
always seeking innovative products to help market their club as
different than the one down the street and attract more new
members.
· Most of the larger health clubs prefer to buy all fitness
equipment from one manufacturer: both strength training and
cardiovascular training products.
Current situation
While ABC fully expects its innovative products to continue to
sell well, it feels the addition of a CV line will only make the
company garner greater sales due to the "one stop shop"
preference of many of the larger customers. It is considering
whether to add a line of CV products, sourced from a well-
respected, domestic contract manufacturer.
At the same time, it is considering opening its market
internationally. It has already developed personal relationships
with several dealers in various countries. These dealers would
act as middlemen for the sale of these U.S. products and
generally face the same challenges as ABC's domestic sales
people, except for one significant issue: shipping timeliness.
Because this equipment weighs a considerable amount, air
freight is unrealistic. Ocean freight timing adds over a month to
lead times, which would put a U.S. firm at a lead time
disadvantage to internationally based competitors.
Therefore, if ABC chooses to begin an international sales and
marketing effort, it plans to license small manufacturing
companies in each country to manufacture the product,
effectively making the shipping lead time difference go away.
Unfortunately with the dealer and the contract manufacturer
markups there is a net difference in the COGS, amounting to a
25% cost premium for sales in the overseas markets (cogs on
international sales is 25% higher than on domestic sales).
The two major, independent, strategic decisions ABC is facing
as it creates its strategic plan are as follows:
1. Should they expand their product lines to include "generic"
CV products, which outsell strength products 2:1 in sales $
(albeit at a lower margin) Note: ABC is VERY concerned about
how customers of its revolutionary, innovatively designed
strength line will view the company as a whole if it begins to
also include generic treadmills and exercise bikes just like
everyone else. Will the company lose its valuable position in
the marketplace as the innovative leader?
2. Should the company expand into international sales knowing
COGS is higher

starting point or base year for the next 3-year plan.

Budget Impacts
The members of the senior staff have agreed on the following
expected departmental budget impacts regarding some of the
strategic decisions they may make:
Marketing: The expense budget consists of depreciation
expense, salary expense, advertising, trade show expense and
possible international marketing expense and/or CV marketing
expenses. If they choose to enter any of five viable international
markets, they expect to spend $120,000/market in each budget
year (net of inflation), spread out evenly through each year. If
they choose to launch the CV product line, they expect to spend
an additional $240,000 annually (net of inflation) on
advertising, whether they sell just domestically or
internationally as well; these added costs would also be spread
evenly through each year.
Selling: The expense budget consists of depreciation, fixed-
salary expense for the manager, depreciation, commission (10%
on domestic sales), and warranty costs (estimated at 1% of
strength sales and 15% of CV sales). If they choose to open
international markets, internationally based noncommissionable
dealers would be used, so no added selling expenses are
expected.
New product development: The expense budget consists of
salaries, patent fees, depreciation, and an expected one-time
charge (fees for design/tooling of this product line) of $1
million if they choose to enter the CV marketplace. These costs
would be a one-time, upfront fee, whenever they decide to
launch that line.
Overall inflation in SG&A expense budgets is expected to be
4% but due to competition cannot be passed on in terms of price
increase.
Management also recognizes that with COGS at a
noncompetitive 65% of sales, there is a great need for
improvement.
The expected inflation rate of 4% is assumed on all expenses
except for depreciation and COGS.

Research Diary
Over the years’]-use a comma here instead of an apostrophe
people have struggled to make losing weight
as well as build up muscles through the use of Fad diets as well
as high protein diets. Fad diets are used that people
use in order to lose dramatic loose weights without exercises.]-
be careful not to rely on spell check; reading this
out loud will help catch those types of mistakes I am going to
discuss the Fad diets, prescription drugs, diseases,
and disabilities as well as alternative remedies for control of
body weight. ]-it’s best to avoid “announcing” the
thesis and instead just make a claim and that will speak for
itself; you will then stay clear and concise since
it’s implied you will discuss it without having to state it
There are several types of fad diets that people mostly use
including Atkins diet, South Beach diet. The
Atkins diet is the most famous low carb weight loss diet. In
this diet you]- avoid using second person “you” or
“your” in academic writing; see below for more guidance on
this topic are to take out most of your carbs and
only intake 20 carbs per day for the first few days. Then you
are to only add in 5-grams which puts you in a
“critical c. arbohydrate levels” for losing weight and
maintaining the loss. This has been very affective for many
people and is the most popular fad diet. Consider a new
paragraph here since the focus shifts The second fad diet
that I researched is the South beach diet, this diet is very
similar to the Atkins diet you can eat high protein diet and
low on carbs. According to health line it has been scientifically
proven that a high protein diet is very effective in
weight loss, high protein diets that aim at losing fat and
building muscles. They include meat and eggs. If one takes
much than what is required per day they are likely to gain more
weight and even get more obese. The next is liquid
diets that out beneficial substances in the body and entail
phytochemicals and plant vegetables (Park, 2009). These
chemicals are likely to cause a condition in depletion of the
body immune system. Lastly, Broth fasts that include
taking of juices in order to lose weight, however, these juices
do not promote long-term weight loss as the return to
the normal diet may result in weight gain.
Fad diets cut off major diets in the human body, therefore,
cause problems such as dehydration, weakness,
and fatigue, nausea and headache, constipation as well as
reduced vitamin and mineral intake. Intake of high protein
diets requires one to take a given amount of the food in a day
and higher intake may cause problems such as kidney
and liver failure as they cause strain on the two organs (Park,
2009). Diets that are protein based]-hyphenate multi-
word descriptions lack specific calories, and will add fat to the
patient. Moreover, a person using fad diets misses
on the protective health effects a normal balanced diet plan
provides. Fads also only work on temporally temporary
weight loss, therefore, one may experience high weight gain
after they stop using the diets. High protein diets
increase cholesterol in the body and consecutively affect the
blood pressure levels. Diets that affect the intake of the
feed in the body affects the level of blood sugar in the body and
as result cause diabetes. High intake of the high
protein diets also causes heart diseases and other chronic
conditions.
Alternative remedies that can be used are hydroxycut is derived
from caffeine and few plant extracts that
help in weight loss. It is offered as a supplement to the patient.
Orlistat is a pharmaceutical drug sold over the
counter and prescribed as Xenical (Park, 2009). Raspberry
ketone is derived from raspberries increases fat break
down through hormone adiponectin. Substitution is the
healthiest way of weight loss, in an instance, one can replace
nut butter with almonds, they have mild fat and protein reducing
incidences of obesity. Chicken breast can also be
used to substitute lean turkey this is since it has low in protein,
therefore, reducing the level of calories in the body
(Zahra, 2014). Blueberries are also used in the place of apples
as they promote cardiovascular health especially in
cases of obese people (Zahra, 2014). Regular exercising is also
another method of losing weight as well as muscle
build up, however, must be accompanied by a balanced diet.
After my research, I have learned that there isare many fad
diets and some can be helpful but over all a high
protein diet and a low carb is the most beneficial diet that a
person can be on. I also learned that besides diets you
can also use alternative natural remedies that can be very
beneficial. Note that paragraphs are normally 5-7
sentences, but at least 3 sentences long. Include a topic
sentence, supporting sentence, and wrap-up/transition
sentence for body paragraphs, and a thesis statement for
introductory paragraphs.

Good start with strong effort, Sam. Your writing follows the
main concepts covered such as
one main idea per paragraph, clear and focused wording overall,
and solid sources utilized for
research support. There are some grammar errors that could be
corrected, and the wording
can be made more concise. The sources are adequate, but I
recommend contacting the
librarians for help with gathering the materials. Remember to
use CSE for formatting. Please
review the comments in the text and let me know if you have
any questions or concerns.
A lot of students do not understand what it means to “avoid
second person” or “stay in third
person.” In academic writing, first person is “ok” in some
assignments depending on context,
second person should never be used, and third person is best.
Research Notebook 4
FIRST PERSON is "I." Some professors discourage it because
academic writing should focus on
the subject- not you. “I think that…” or “I feel that…” are
weak, wordy and not very concise.
“I” should only be used if writing a narrative assignment or
opinion piece.
SECOND PERSON is "you." Using second person--or speaking
directly to the reader (either
calling the reader "you" or addressing the reader as if you are
having a one-sided
conversation)--is too casual and conversational for college-level
writing. This is why English
professors don't allow it.
Whenever you have a sentence construction with second person
(and the easiest way to
check is to do a word search for the words you and your after
you've written a paper), you
should revise by using third person instead.
THIRD PERSON is a specific noun or nouns or the pronouns
"he, she, it" in the singular or
"They" in the plural. There are several examples below to show
you the difference between
second and third person. Generally speaking, second person
isn't just too casual. It's also
sometimes an incorrect shift in voice or a vague word choice.
See below. The italicized
answers use second person. See how the other answers are more
specific or accurate.
Which question below shows a grammatically incorrect shift
from first person ("I") to second
person ("you")?
a. "After reading the essay assigned for this week, I
immediately agreed with the author
was saying. You could tell from the beginning that he was
talking about slacker
students who try to bargain for good grades even when they
haven't done the work."
b. "After reading the essay assigned for this week, I
immediately agreed with the
author was saying. I could tell from the beginning that he was
talking about slacker
students who try to bargain for good grades even when they
haven't done the work."
Which sentence uses the second person?
a. Life is like a box of chocolates. People never know what
they're going to get.
b. Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're
going to get.
Which of the following sentences uses the second person?
a) Although I know I shouldn't cheat on my diet, sometimes you
just have to!
b) Although I know I shouldn't cheat on my diet, sometimes I
just have to!
If you have any further questions about second person, please
let me know.

ABC's Strategic Planning Session and Product Line Expansion Considerations

  • 1. The ABC Company manufactures and markets commercial grade fitness equipment. The senior management team is meeting for its second annual strategic planning session. While strategic plans usually encompass 3–5 years of the planning horizon, the CEO has asked that, for now, everyone concentrate only on years 1–3. At the conclusion of the session, staff members will begin working on their individual plans and budgets for the coming year. The accounting manager will end up compiling all the budgets for incorporation into the strategic plan book. ABC Background and Current Situation Company: · ABC develops, domestically manufacturers, markets, and sells commercial-grade, strength-training fitness equipment, like that found in a health club. · It has created a patented, revolutionary line of strength training equipment, which has clearly allowed the company to be positioned as the "innovative leader" in the market place, addressing the fitness trend of "core training." · The company is considering adding a line of cardiovascular (CV) training equipment including treadmills and exercise bikes. · Its entire staff is well respected in the industry. · Although its sales are exclusively in the United States it has, from time to time, considered expanding into international sales. International market growth has historically been at a rate 5–8% faster than domestic sales Products: · The industry breaks its product groups into cardiovascular and strength-training products. The profitability/piece overall is greatest on the strength-training equipment although the dollar value of total industry sales is 2:1 in favor of the CV equipment. However, from a COGS perspective CV COGS is equal to strength COGS + 15%.
  • 2. · While ABC has in fact developed a revolutionary line of strength equipment addressing core training, duplicating this innovation in the CV line has proven to be beyond the reach of any manufacturer in the industry in the last 10–15 years, primarily due to the very high cost of developing something truly revolutionary for a product line of relatively low-margin and high-warranty costs. Industry: · As the health and fitness craze continues in America and around the world, the overall market is expected to grow 5–8% a year. · The overseas, international fitness equipment market is growing 5–8% faster than the domestic growth rate. · There are currently seven bonafide manufacturers of this fitness equipment: the two largest offer "one stop shop" product offerings (CV and strength products) and garner the highest market share; the other five specialize only in either strength or CV only equipment. There is talk of one or more of the CV manufacturers merging with one or more of the strength manufacturers. · The customers—primarily health clubs and YMCAs—are always seeking innovative products to help market their club as different than the one down the street and attract more new members. · Most of the larger health clubs prefer to buy all fitness equipment from one manufacturer: both strength training and cardiovascular training products. Current situation While ABC fully expects its innovative products to continue to sell well, it feels the addition of a CV line will only make the company garner greater sales due to the "one stop shop" preference of many of the larger customers. It is considering whether to add a line of CV products, sourced from a well- respected, domestic contract manufacturer. At the same time, it is considering opening its market internationally. It has already developed personal relationships
  • 3. with several dealers in various countries. These dealers would act as middlemen for the sale of these U.S. products and generally face the same challenges as ABC's domestic sales people, except for one significant issue: shipping timeliness. Because this equipment weighs a considerable amount, air freight is unrealistic. Ocean freight timing adds over a month to lead times, which would put a U.S. firm at a lead time disadvantage to internationally based competitors. Therefore, if ABC chooses to begin an international sales and marketing effort, it plans to license small manufacturing companies in each country to manufacture the product, effectively making the shipping lead time difference go away. Unfortunately with the dealer and the contract manufacturer markups there is a net difference in the COGS, amounting to a 25% cost premium for sales in the overseas markets (cogs on international sales is 25% higher than on domestic sales). The two major, independent, strategic decisions ABC is facing as it creates its strategic plan are as follows: 1. Should they expand their product lines to include "generic" CV products, which outsell strength products 2:1 in sales $ (albeit at a lower margin) Note: ABC is VERY concerned about how customers of its revolutionary, innovatively designed strength line will view the company as a whole if it begins to also include generic treadmills and exercise bikes just like everyone else. Will the company lose its valuable position in the marketplace as the innovative leader? 2. Should the company expand into international sales knowing COGS is higher Income Statement Last year's income statement results below will serve as the starting point or base year for the next 3-year plan. Income Statement ($000's) Sales (domestic only, strength line only) 10,000 COGS at 65% 6500
  • 4. Gross margin 3500 Less SG&A Marketing 970 Sales 1210 New product development 465 Total SG&A 2645 Net income 855 Budget Impacts The members of the senior staff have agreed on the following expected departmental budget impacts regarding some of the strategic decisions they may make: Marketing: The expense budget consists of depreciation expense, salary expense, advertising, trade show expense and possible international marketing expense and/or CV marketing expenses. If they choose to enter any of five viable international markets, they expect to spend $120,000/market in each budget year (net of inflation), spread out evenly through each year. If they choose to launch the CV product line, they expect to spend an additional $240,000 annually (net of inflation) on advertising, whether they sell just domestically or internationally as well; these added costs would also be spread evenly through each year. Selling: The expense budget consists of depreciation, fixed- salary expense for the manager, depreciation, commission (10% on domestic sales), and warranty costs (estimated at 1% of strength sales and 15% of CV sales). If they choose to open international markets, internationally based noncommissionable dealers would be used, so no added selling expenses are expected.
  • 5. New product development: The expense budget consists of salaries, patent fees, depreciation, and an expected one-time charge (fees for design/tooling of this product line) of $1 million if they choose to enter the CV marketplace. These costs would be a one-time, upfront fee, whenever they decide to launch that line. Overall inflation in SG&A expense budgets is expected to be 4% but due to competition cannot be passed on in terms of price increase. Management also recognizes that with COGS at a noncompetitive 65% of sales, there is a great need for improvement. The expected inflation rate of 4% is assumed on all expenses except for depreciation and COGS. Research Notebook
  • 6. Samuel Soto English 221 Tatum June 3, 2018 Research Diary Over the years’]-use a comma here instead of an apostrophe people have struggled to make losing weight as well as build up muscles through the use of Fad diets as well as high protein diets. Fad diets are used that people use in order to lose dramatic loose weights without exercises.]- be careful not to rely on spell check; reading this
  • 7. out loud will help catch those types of mistakes I am going to discuss the Fad diets, prescription drugs, diseases, and disabilities as well as alternative remedies for control of body weight. ]-it’s best to avoid “announcing” the thesis and instead just make a claim and that will speak for itself; you will then stay clear and concise since it’s implied you will discuss it without having to state it There are several types of fad diets that people mostly use including Atkins diet, South Beach diet. The Atkins diet is the most famous low carb weight loss diet. In this diet you]- avoid using second person “you” or “your” in academic writing; see below for more guidance on this topic are to take out most of your carbs and only intake 20 carbs per day for the first few days. Then you are to only add in 5-grams which puts you in a “critical c. arbohydrate levels” for losing weight and maintaining the loss. This has been very affective for many people and is the most popular fad diet. Consider a new paragraph here since the focus shifts The second fad diet that I researched is the South beach diet, this diet is very similar to the Atkins diet you can eat high protein diet and low on carbs. According to health line it has been scientifically proven that a high protein diet is very effective in
  • 8. weight loss, high protein diets that aim at losing fat and building muscles. They include meat and eggs. If one takes much than what is required per day they are likely to gain more weight and even get more obese. The next is liquid diets that out beneficial substances in the body and entail phytochemicals and plant vegetables (Park, 2009). These chemicals are likely to cause a condition in depletion of the body immune system. Lastly, Broth fasts that include taking of juices in order to lose weight, however, these juices do not promote long-term weight loss as the return to the normal diet may result in weight gain. Fad diets cut off major diets in the human body, therefore, cause problems such as dehydration, weakness, and fatigue, nausea and headache, constipation as well as reduced vitamin and mineral intake. Intake of high protein diets requires one to take a given amount of the food in a day and higher intake may cause problems such as kidney and liver failure as they cause strain on the two organs (Park, 2009). Diets that are protein based]-hyphenate multi- word descriptions lack specific calories, and will add fat to the patient. Moreover, a person using fad diets misses on the protective health effects a normal balanced diet plan provides. Fads also only work on temporally temporary
  • 9. weight loss, therefore, one may experience high weight gain after they stop using the diets. High protein diets increase cholesterol in the body and consecutively affect the blood pressure levels. Diets that affect the intake of the feed in the body affects the level of blood sugar in the body and as result cause diabetes. High intake of the high protein diets also causes heart diseases and other chronic conditions. Alternative remedies that can be used are hydroxycut is derived from caffeine and few plant extracts that help in weight loss. It is offered as a supplement to the patient. Orlistat is a pharmaceutical drug sold over the counter and prescribed as Xenical (Park, 2009). Raspberry ketone is derived from raspberries increases fat break down through hormone adiponectin. Substitution is the healthiest way of weight loss, in an instance, one can replace nut butter with almonds, they have mild fat and protein reducing incidences of obesity. Chicken breast can also be used to substitute lean turkey this is since it has low in protein, therefore, reducing the level of calories in the body (Zahra, 2014). Blueberries are also used in the place of apples as they promote cardiovascular health especially in cases of obese people (Zahra, 2014). Regular exercising is also another method of losing weight as well as muscle
  • 10. build up, however, must be accompanied by a balanced diet. After my research, I have learned that there isare many fad diets and some can be helpful but over all a high protein diet and a low carb is the most beneficial diet that a person can be on. I also learned that besides diets you can also use alternative natural remedies that can be very beneficial. Note that paragraphs are normally 5-7 sentences, but at least 3 sentences long. Include a topic sentence, supporting sentence, and wrap-up/transition sentence for body paragraphs, and a thesis statement for introductory paragraphs. References Park, K. (2009).

The sources are adequate, but I recommend contacting the librarians for help with gathering the materials. Remember to use CSE for formatting. Please review the comments in the text and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. A lot of students do not understand what it means to “avoid second person” or “stay in third person.” In academic writing, first person is “ok” in some assignments depending on context, second person should never be used, and third person is best. Research Notebook 4 FIRST PERSON is "I." Some professors discourage it because academic writing should focus on the subject- not you. “I think that…” or “I feel that…” are weak, wordy and not very concise. “I” should only be used if writing a narrative assignment or opinion piece. SECOND PERSON is "you." Using second person--or speaking directly to the reader (either calling the reader "you" or addressing the reader as if you are having a one-sided conversation)--is too casual and conversational for college-level writing. This is why English professors don't allow it.
  • 38. Whenever you have a sentence construction with second person (and the easiest way to check is to do a word search for the words you and your after you've written a paper), you should revise by using third person instead. THIRD PERSON is a specific noun or nouns or the pronouns "he, she, it" in the singular or "They" in the plural. There are several examples below to show you the difference between second and third person. Generally speaking, second person isn't just too casual. It's also sometimes an incorrect shift in voice or a vague word choice. See below. The italicized answers use second person. See how the other answers are more specific or accurate. Which question below shows a grammatically incorrect shift from first person ("I") to second person ("you")? a. "After reading the essay assigned for this week, I immediately agreed with the author was saying. You could tell from the beginning that he was talking about slacker students who try to bargain for good grades even when they haven't done the work." b. "After reading the essay assigned for this week, I immediately agreed with the author was saying. I could tell from the beginning that he was talking about slacker students who try to bargain for good grades even when they haven't done the work."
  • 39. Which sentence uses the second person? a. Life is like a box of chocolates. People never know what they're going to get. b. Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. Which of the following sentences uses the second person? a) Although I know I shouldn't cheat on my diet, sometimes you just have to! b) Although I know I shouldn't cheat on my diet, sometimes I just have to! If you have any further questions about second person, please let me know. Research Notebook 4
