Situational Analysis
Company Eastman Kodak is currently the market leader in the photo film market. The company has continued its domination of the photo film market, but in the past 5 years its market share has eased from 76% to 70%. Reason mainly being the competitors like Fuji Photo Film Co. and Konica Corp. lured consumers with their lower-priced versions.

Analysis 2:

Analysis for the impact of cannibalization in terms of the extra sales that Kodak should aim for Funtime.   Retail Price of Gold Plus = $3.49 Retail Price of Funtime = $3.49 * 0.8 = $2.79 MARKETING-II Eastman Kodak Company: Funtime film – Group 5, PGP-RAK 2012-14 4

  

Profit for Gold Plus = 0.7 * (3.49 – 0.2 * 3.49) = $1.95 Contribution Margin for Gold Plus = Profit for Gold Plus/ Retail Price of Gold Plus = 1.95/3.49 = 0.56 = 56% Production Cost = $3.49 - $1.95 = $1.54

Assuming that the Production Cost for Gold Plus and Funtime is the same  Contribution Margin for Funtime = (Retail Price for Funtime – Production Cost) / Retail Price for Funtime = (2.79 – 1.54)/2.79 = 0.45 = 45%  Increase in Sales needed to target current revenue if there is complete cannibalization of Gold Plus customers by Funtime customers = Profitfor Gold Plus / Contribution Margin for Funtime = $1.95/0.45 = $4.33  Extra % of customers needed for Funtime = 4.33/2.79 = 1.55 => 55% increase in customer base If there is
