True or False: Expansionary fiscal policy is more likely to lead to a short-run increase in investment when the interest rate sensitivity of investment is large than when it is small. True False

Answer:

1. True

2. True

Explanation:

An expansionary gap, also known as the inflationary gap in economics is used to measure the difference between the gross domestic product (GDP) and the current level of real Gross Domestic Products that exists when a country's economy is guaged at a full employment rate. This eventually causes the price of goods and services to go up with a low income level. Also, an expansionary fiscal policy will cause the total increase in aggregate demand to be greater than the initial increase in aggregate demand due to the multiplier process.

Additionally, this simply means in an inflationary or expansionary condition, the potential Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is lower than the real Gross Domestic Products.

The investment accelerator effect states that there is an increase in investment expenditure when there is increase in the level of income or demand. Thus, the level of investment in a particular economy is based on the rate of change in consumption and the gross domestic product (GDP).

Hence, when the investment accelerator is large, there's likely to be a short-run increase in investment due to expansionary fiscal policy. The expansionary fiscal policy is usually less when the the interest rate sensitivity of investment is large and consequently, leading to a greater decline in investments.

Unibic India: From Fastest Growing Niche Cookie Brand to a Challenger?
In 2007, Lighthouse Funds acquired a 25% stake in Unibic from Unibic Australia for Rs. 200 million. In 2010, Unibic Australia started making losses and wanted to withdraw from the Indian market. At that time, Unibic operated solely in the premium, high-margin cookies segment in India, with a share of around 8%. It had a market presence primarily in south India and was exporting to the Middle East and Hong Kong. It had strategic alliances to make cookies for various private players. However, it was not yet making profits and was cash- strapped...
Over the next few years, Unibic grew rapidly. Its growth was primarily fueled by the changes sweeping through the Indian biscuit industry, wherein glucose biscuits that had dominated the market, gradually lost out to cream biscuits and cookies. The reasons for the shift included rising disposable incomes leading to an increase in consumption of premium biscuits; a larger number of manufacturing facilities of premium biscuits; growing health awareness; innovation bringing in attractive new products; rising affordability of cookies; and increase in eye-catching packaging...
Over the years, Unibic regularly introduced fresh and unique flavors, ultimately producing over 30 variants of cookies. Its products could be broadly categorized into chocolate, butter, milk, savory, and health. The company considered its target market to be between the ages of 14 and 40. It continued its efforts at innovation and produced new products which would appeal to its target market...
In 2015, Unibic had used celebrity endorsement by signing on south Indian actor Shruti Hassan, for over a year. It stated that it wanted someone who was relevant and would give the brand a boost to get to the numbers it wanted in the South...
Unibic didn’t advertise much in print media; TV remained the company’s core focus and got the largest chunk of its advertising spend, followed by digital and OOH. Instead of following the traditional strategy of having a similar marketing campaign across markets, Unibic employed a unique strategy in each market, thereby playing to its strengths in each market while keeping in mind the market conditions and consumption patterns...
From 2019 onward, Unibic started feeling the heat of the economic slowdown in India. The Indian economic slowdown of 2019 led to a serious and continuing decline in the country’s real estate, automobile and construction sectors and in overall consumption demand. The second quarter (July- September) of the financial year (April 2019-March 2020) witnessed a drastic fall in the gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate to 4.5%. The main reasons attributed to the fall in the GDP growth rate were – contraction in manufacturing activity, weakened investments, and lower consumption demand.
As of 2020, Unibic had the largest wire cut cookie manufacturing plant in India. The plant had the capability to manufacture 100 tonnes of cookies each day, with five production lines. While it used 98% of its production capability to produce its own brand, the rest was used to manufacture for private label brands – six in India and 10 across the world. It had annual revenu7 es of Rs. 5 billion. It also exported its products to more than 21 countries including across Australia, North America, the UK, and Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and New Zealand. It derived 45% of its earnings from the south of India.
Questions:
a) Explain three factors that had a negative impact on the financial performance of Unibic in its early years.
b) Which environmental force did Unibic use in segmenting its market? What is this force about? (6 marks)
c) What does the following statement suggest to you about Unibic: “It continued its efforts at innovation and produced new products which would appeal to its target market”? (3 marks)
DC: ACD01-F004

d) Which marketing strategy did Unibic use in 2015 and explain any two (2) reasons why firms adopt that strategy? (9 marks)
e) What main media did Unibic use to implement its marketing strategy? State one advantage of this media. (6 marks)
