Andre's Hair Stylling employs 5 barbers at $9.90 per hour, 40 hours per week, and 50 weeks per year. The salary rate applies regardless of the number of haircuts performed by the barber. Fixed expenses total $1,750 per month and the cost for shampoo per client is $0.40. The total cost for each hair cut is $12.00. Using this data, I found the following information.1. Contribution margin is sales revenue less variable costs. It is the amount available to pay for fixed costs and provide any profit after variable costs have been paid.

II. Inventory Management
A. After reviewing the characteristics of absorption and variable costing, I believe absorption costing is the ideal cost allocation method to use for New Hampshire Company. Absorption costing is explained as a process for gathering the costs connected with a manufacture process and allocating them to specific products. A product may absorb a wide-range of fixed and variable costs. These costs are not documented as costs when an organization pays for them, instead when they remain in inventory until the product is sold. After the product is sold, they are then charged to cost of goods

(Perman,R and Scouller)An example is if a supplier invests in specific tolling equipment dedicated to one customer. Over time, the customer will be able to put pressure on the vendor since the vendor has not alternative use for its investment and will be willing to accept a price down to the variable cost of production to cover some fixed cost. This leads to a difficult negotiation in which each party may try to cheat and in which complicated

Exhibit 5
If you look at Exhibit 5, you will see that the revenue growth increases each consecutive year. Although there is substantial growth, the pricing strategy limits the company to recover their fixed costs. In Exhibit 6, the cost of the product is low as well as the amount sales representatives receive.

Integrated Fulfillment because it is low start-up cost. Cadbury can use its current network to serve both “bricks-and-mortar” and “clicks-and-mortar” customers. It also would avoid having a duplicate inventory to handle Internet orders. Another advantage is labor cost. Cadbury can use existing workforce to move higher volume of goods with a fixed-cost facility. But for the future, Cadbury should use Dedicated fulfillment with two separate DC networks. Having a separate DC for store delivery and consumer delivery can eliminate disadvantage of Integrated Fulfillment such as:
· Order profile will change with the addition of consumer Internet orders.
· Products might not be available in each.
· The addition of unit pick would require a “fast pick”, or broken case, operation to be added to the DC.
· Conflict between store order and Internet order.
