Question 5 (10 Points)
John Webb recently graduated from mortuary school. He is
considering opening his own funeral home. A funeral home is a
high-fixed cost business, as it requires considerable
expenditures for facilities, labor, and equipment, no matter how
many families are served.
Assume the annual fixed cost of operations is $800,000. Further
assume that the only significant variable cost relates to burial
containers like urns and caskets. An average casket costs
$1,200. John’s banker has asked a variety of questions in
contemplation of providing a loan for this business.
Required: Provide the solution to each of the following
questions.
a. If the average family is charged $6,000 for services and a
burial container, how many families must be served to clear the
break-even point?
b. If the banker believes John will only serve 100 families
during the first year in business, how much will the business
lose during its first year of operation?

4. c. If John believes his profits will be at least $100,000 during
the first year, how much is he anticipating for total revenue?
d. The banker has suggested that John can reduce his fixed costs
by $150,000 if he will not buy any vehicles. John can instead
rent vehicles as needed. The variable cost of renting is $700 per
family served. Will this suggestion help John reach the break-
even point sooner?

Strategic management provides allows all of the board members
the ability to take a moment and to look at the future of their
company. Not being able to have this process in place an
organization can be consumed with nothing but work and not

12. look at the bigger picture. Strategy also provides the staff a
period where they can come together to ensure that they are
moving in a single direction. No one portion knows all the
moves or actions of the other group so this allows for a vision
of the future, and the ability to come up with and go over the
values of the organization. It also sets goals in to places, and
sets the objectives as well as threats, opportunities, and find
ways to even out the strengths and weaknesses so that the
benefit the company. This is all a process to set the framework
and clear decision on what needs to be done to make the
company successful.

I think that my biggest “aha moment” it actually the part that I
disliked the most, but became the most beneficial once I
understood the information that it provided. That is the matrixes
that we have to learn to do. From the IFE, EFE, PEST Analysis,
BCG, IE matrix, SAPCE matrix, they all broke down the
information with n the company and allowed you to see how it
operated and how it related to its competitors. Once I
understood that information that was my “aha moment”.

Insight is the major benefit of using a strategic management
approach to decision making. Insight is the thing which
business executives and management teams receive to
thoroughly understand, comprehend, recognize, and evaluate the
state of its business, placement with indirect and direct
competitors, and within industry. Insight can be received
through strategic management tools such as SWOT Analysis,

13. Internal-External Matrices, Quantitative Strategic Planning
Matrix, Grand Strategy Matrix, and more. These tools allow
strategists to use their knowledge of the industry, business, and
subjective views to make short- and long-term decisions (Maxi-
Pedia, 2016). Insight gives businesses the ability to see the
processes from their functional departments to corporate
strategies. Insight gives businesses the ability to survey and
receive feedback from end users, such as customers and
shareholders. Insight allows a company to evaluate their
current business climate, culture, and whether or not their
organizational structure works well with their current missions
and capabilities. Insight gives businesses the advantage to
create sustainable competitive advantages by choosing how to
sell and market their products/services (cost leadership,
differentiation, best-cost strategy, etc.) (Strategic Management,
2014). Finally, but not lastly, insight gives business strategists
the ability to adapt to today’s standard of business of reaching
the triple bottom line, which measures a company’s impact on
the economy, level of social responsibility, and effects on the
environment (www.investopedia.com). With all the subjects,
items, tools, plans, structures, intellectual theories, governance,
compliance, and so forth it all leads to insight of the true health
and wealth of the company.
