In an attempt to tap into the large young adult app market to boost sales and advertising revenues. Jacks CFO, Daniel, is considering hiring students from area high schools and universities to drastically increase the innovativeness of the companys apps. Specifically, Daniel hopes that Jacks new student employee pool will make Jack's next wave of phone apps inventions popular with young adults by providing innovative services, such as exchanging payments for late-night food deliveries, arranging informal dating and other social gatherings, exchanging perspectives on different professors, and identifying unusual debit card purchase patterns to assist with early fraud detection notification. Based on cost estimates from Jacks finance team and surveys of its new target customers (i.e., New Customer Financial Survey), Daniel estimates that this new customer market would increase Jacks annual net income by 10,000,000. In addition to the New Customer Financial Survey. Jacks management team conducted a Business Sustainability Analysis. Specifically, the stakeholder engagement portion of the Business Sustainability Analysis revealed that four of Jacks most important stakeholder groups (advertisers, regulators, employees, and customers) would react stronglysome favorably and others unfavorablyto the decision to push its app business in the direction of the young adult market. Specifically, ten percent of its existing advertisers would drop Jacks as a client, thereby reducing its annual advertising revenue of 10,000,000. Also, confidential discussions with competitors suggest that the new fraud detection app would require sensitive customer information that Jacks would be unable to protect perfectly from data hackers, thereby resulting in annual fines of 1,500,000 from regulators. In addition, employee engagement meetings indicated that they would strongly favor the expansion into the young adult market. Daniel estimates that improved employee morale would significantly increase their productivity and creativity, thereby increasing annual sales revenue by 2,000,000. Finally, focus groups with existing customers revealed that they would highly value the increased workforce diversity of Jacks hiring a large number of talented young female employees with an expertise in technology. Daniel estimates that this positive customer sentiment would translate into an additional 3,000,000 in annual traditional apps sales. Required: 1. Using the New Customer Financial Survey and the Business Sustainability Analysis calculate the net change in Jacks Apps Companys net income that would be expected from pursuing the young adult app market. 2. Based on the calculation in Requirement 1, should Jacks Apps pursue the young adult app market? Explain your answer. 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Describe two additional considerations that Jacks Apps Company management might be wise to consider before making a final decision on whether or not to pursue the young adult apps market.arrow_forwardTo generate leads for new business, Gustin Investment Services offers free financial planningseminars at major hotels in Southwest Florida.

Required information Don Carson and two colleagues are considering opening a law office in a large metropolitan area to make inexpensive legal services available to people who cannot otherwise afford these services. They intend to provide easy access for their clients by having the office open 360 days per year, 16 hours each day from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. A lawyer, paralegal, legal secretary, and clerk-receptionist would staff the office for each of the two 8-hour shifts. To determine the feasibility of the project, Don hired a marketing consultant to assist with market projections. The consultant's results show that if the firm spends $538,000 on advertising the first year, the number of new clients expected each day would have the following probability distribution: Number of New Clients per Day 10 20 40 60 Probability 0.10 0.10 0.20 0.60 Don and his associates believe these numbers to be reasonable and are prepared to spend the $538,000 on advertising.
