SCENARIO CONTINUATION:It's New Year's day, 2010. You just had a great New Year's Eve celebration, you finished analyzing the performance of Handheld and are ready to charge ahead into the future. As you turn on the TV and try to open your eyes, you notice something strange (again). The TV commentator is saying something about New Year's Day, 2006. You have a sinking feeling, and sure enough, it's back to 1/1/2006. You realize that you are in Time Warp 2.This time you decide to do your decision making differently. You are going to use a technique that you became familiar with last year, CVP analysis. And you are going to decide all of your decisions at once. No feeling your way through it this time. You are going to make all of your decisions now, for the next four years and just cruise through it this time.You analyze the results of your first set of decisions that you made in Time Warp 1, from 2006 to 2009. You have the data, you kept it all. But now you are going to use CVP analysis to help you determine your new strategy. And you have a tool to use, the CVP Calculator.You analyze the results using CVP and develop your complete four year strategy. You decide to make notes about your analysis and your reasoning process, just in case you have to do this again (You are praying that you can finally move ahead this time when you get to 2010.)You finish your report that shows your strategy that you are going to use these next four years during Time Warp 2. And stop and take a big breath before you move ahead into 2006.(In other words – don't run the simulation, yet. Just turn in this report.)SLP3 ASSIGNMENT: Review and analyze the results that you got in SLP2 (Time Warp 1 decisions) and develop a revised strategy. Write a report and make a case for this new strategy using analysis and relevant theories.SLP3 Expectations: The revised strategy consists of the Prices, R&D Allocation %, and any product discontinuations for the X5, X6, and X7 PDAs for each of the four years: 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009. You must present a rational justification for this strategy. In other words, you must Make a Case for your proposed strategy using financial analysis and relevant theories. Use the CVP Calculator and review the PowerPoint that explains CVP and provides some examples. You need to CRUNCH some numbers (CVP Analysis) to help you determine your prices and R&D allocations. Make sure your proposed changes in strategy are firmly based in this analysis of financial and market data and sound business principles. Present your analysis professionally making strategic use of tables, charts and graphs.Turn in the 4 to 6 page paper at the end of this module.Simulation:http://forio.com/simulation/pdasim/pdasim.htmCVP Calculators – free downloads:http://www.softlow.com/pocket-pc/business/calculators/shareware/cvp-cost-volume-profit-calculator.htmlhttp://www.docstoc.com/docs/477705/CVP--Breakeven-Variable-Cost-calculatorhttp://www.soft32.com/download_151802.htmlhttp://cvp-cost-volume-profit-calculator.downloadaces.com/Please email me to get results from the previous simulation that has the prices
