Caselets - Practice Test (With Solutions) CAT, Common Admission Test - Question 1

Mr Hoola Boola is facing a decision problem. He has excellent training products but is not sure about the demand for his products. He wants to set up a training centre to provide training programmes of Sr Executive, Jr executive and non-cxccutivc level. His financial advisor Mr Balmas told him that if he wants to set up a non-executive level training centre, the total cost would be on two counts—the first would be a fixed cost which is Rs 2 lakh per annum. Besides, it would also entail a variable cost of training per candidate. This would be Rs 1,000 per candidate trained. He further estimated that if a training centre is set up for conducting Jr executive and non-executive level training programmes, the total fixed cost would be Rs 3.2 lakh per annum and the cost of training per candidate will be Rs 750. Mr Balmas motivates Mr Hoola to set up a combined training centre for Sr executive, Jr executive and non-executive, the fixed cost of which is Rs 5 lakh per annum and the cost o f providing training per candidate is Rs 500.

It was realised by AMS Careers, that for creating awareness in the market, newspaper advertising is very effective but it should be done consistently. The Timex of  India (T O l) which claims to have 40 percent of the total market share brings out a weekly supplement ‘Education Times’ in which the advertising cost for the range 0 to 240 sq.cm for 1-2 insertions with a validity period o f 30 days is Rs 50/cm2, for 3-5 insertions with a validity period of 60 days is Rs 43/cm2 and 6 onwards insertions with validity period of 90 days is Rs 40/cm2. The cost for size of advertisement 241+ cm2 for 1-2 insertions with validity period 30 days is Rs 50/cm2 and for 3-5 insertions with validity period 60 days is Rs 40/cm2 and for 6 onwards insertion with validity period of 90 days is Rs 35/cm2. The expected response generation per insertion in TOl in the size 161-200 cm2 is 40 and in the size 200 + cm2 is 50. Another great market player is Hindustan Times with the weekly supplement ‘HT Horizons’ and it claims to have 35% o f the total market share and the cost o f advertising in it for 1-2 insertions with validity period: Number o f insertion + one week is Rs 40/cm2. for 3 - 6 insertions with validity period: Number of insertions + 2 weeks is Rs 37/cm2 and for 7 insertions onwards with validity' period: no of insertions + 3 weeks is Rs 34/cm2. The expected response generation per insertion is 35 for 160- 200cm2 and 45 for 200+ cm2 size.
Please help AMS Careers with the correct decisions on the following plans.

Q.

AMS has decided to advertise in TOl but is confused on length between 80 cm and 81 cm but is sure about the width, i.e., 3 cm and 3 insertions. What should be the length?

Detailed Solution for Caselets - Practice Test (With Solutions) CAT, Common Admission Test - Question 10

The solution will be got by comparing the cost of the two campaigns against one another. Since the expected response is the same, Cost of 3 insertions of 240 cm2 = 43 x 240 X 3=720 x 43 = Rs 30,960 Cost of 3 insertions o f 81 x 3 = 243 cm2 = 40 x 243 x 3 = 729 x 40 = Rs 29,160

AMS should go for a height of 81 cm since the cost of the campaign is lower.
