Dynamics of Markets (Economics)

Nov 29, 2016

Authentic Learning Task for Grade 11 Economics: Dynamics of Markets.

With mobile divisions profit also hit, firm said to have lost about one-quarter of income (Samsung Note7)

SEOUL • The financial burden of Samsung Electronics' Note7 crisis is becoming clearer, as South Korea's largest company tallies the cost of recalling and terminating production of the fire-prone smartphone. The company disclosed yesterday a negative impact of approximately the medium range of 3 trillion won (S$3.8 billion) on operating profit to March, on top of an already announced US$2.3 billion cut for the preceding period. The total of US$5.3 billion (S$7.4 billion) is in line with analysts' estimates. Nomura Holdings analyst Chung Chang Won had estimated the Note7 termination would cost the company US$5 billion in operating profit to 2017. Investors seem to have factored in an impact of that magnitude, and Samsung shares rose 1.3 per cent to 1.577 million won at the close in Seoul.

Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/business/note7-saga-to-cost-samsung-74b Question: Given the recent upsurge of Samsung in the market of cellphones, this has caused a huge setback for the company’s profits, and customer confidence in its products. 1] Given the plunge in the profits of Samsung, this preludes an existence of controlling factors which has influenced the events that occurred, e.g. Consumer preference. In groups of five (5), gather information of any three (3) companies who in the past 5-10 years have experienced a fall in performance like Samsung and list as much common factors as possible which resulted in the outcome they’ve experienced.

2] Hence, graphically illustrate the impact the cellphone market (Samsung) realized by means of the given graph bellow

3] After illustrating the new graph, assume equations of straight lines for the Demand curve, y= 0.5x+1 and Supply, y= 3x-2. Calculate the points of intersection, which will mathematically show the new equilibrium for Samsung.

4] In your groups of five, consider you were the directors of your own Mobile Company in a South African province. Given the same scenario, what managerial decisions would you take to boost consumer confidence in your technological products.
