Case Study: Permaclean Products plc
Question
Case Study: Permaclean Products plc
The central issue in this case concerns product pricing. The analysis requires the estimation of appropriate costs and assessing price-demand information using past sales data. Permaclean Products is an old-established firm, located in Dunstable, manufacturing a comprehensive range of domestic cleaning materials. It has a sound reputation and a well-know brand name which has made it a market leader in a wide range of products designed for home use. Although Permaclean has several competitors, the total sales of each are small in comparison with those of Permaclean, mainly because none offers such a complete product range.
In 2009 the price of one of Permaclean’s major products, Permashine, was raised from 75p per bottle to 99p when the product was repackaged in a newly designed bottle; however, the contents were identical to the previous pack, both in formulation and quantity. During the following two years sales fell by 27%. At 75p per bottle Permashine had been competitively priced but when its price was increased manufacturers of similar products had not followed. In the period from 2007 to 2010 the price of competing products had been raised by only 5p. Prices were fixed once a year, to come into force on 1 February, before the annual peak demand which occurred in the spring. In January 2011, John Williams, the marketing manager, met with Andrew Dutton, the chief accountant, to review the company’s pricing policy for the coming year.
Summary

Permaclean increased its price and its market share fell by 27%. The management of Permaclean is trying to implement Strategic Management Accounting at Permaclean

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I seriously used to mix up the concepts surrounding heat transfer and mass transfer. Initially I never get to understand which assignment is related to which chapter. Then one fine day, my friend Jenny, introduced me to HwA and since then everything went fine for me.

I got very solid advice on the primary intervention and assessment of the skin of a burn victim from the experts here on HwA. Since then I always take their help.
Esther Gibson Student
The topic I had selected for my dissertation required to include a report on the local markets of New South Wales. It was difficult getting help online as the data available are mostly generic and difficult to understand cohesively. Moreover, the majority of the online dissertation writing services online are located abroad somewhere in USA or UK. I was happy to see that HwA has dissertation writing helpers from not only Australia, but New South Wales itself and they cater specifically to students like us, who are from or studying in Australia.

1. As an undergraduate statistics student at one of the leading institutes in London I was finding it increasingly difficult keeping up with the assignments with the rest of the class. I was lost, and not in a good way, in probability, displaying data etc. That is when I found TheReliableTutor.com. Here the stats homework solver helped me out with all my assignments and I have been getting great reviews and grades since then.
Jeremy Schein Student
Chemical engineering problems often used to confuse me. I was searching for some experts who can genuinely help with such solutions. I always loved Chemistry but Chemical Engineering was something completely different. I took help from TheReliableTutor on several occasions and so far they have delivered the reports on time.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
