Deloitte Case question

Deloitte

Hi all,

I'm trying to solve one of Deloitte cases about retail strategy.

Please see in attachment the actual case and exhibit. The question I'm puzzled with is "What is the expected overall market size for Club Co., regardless of the business model selected?". The answer provided by Deloitte is $8.8M, due to 88% usage rate out of current 10M visitors. I would agree with the answer with 8.8M wouldn't have a dollar sign, meaning there are potentially 8.8M clients who might buy the product. However, those 8.8M members are not equal $8.8M in potential revenue! I'm sure I'm missing something, could someone advise if I'm wrong in my logic?

Hi.

I have a question with the same case. I am not sure how they have the following solution to the question:

Using the provided data, model a P&L for both business model options for year one. Calculate operating profit (ignore interest, taxes, and depreciation) and round dollar amounts to the nearest $100K.

Correct Answers

Model A – Carrier 1 only total revenue: $6.5M

Model A – Carrier 1 only total costs: $1.7M

Model A – Carrier 1 only operating profit: $4.8M

Model B – Multiple carriers total revenue: $6.9M

Model B – Multiple carriers total costs: $2.3M

Model B – Multiple carriers operating profit: $4.6M

Could someone please elaborate how they arrived at those numbers? I can't even find the revenue answer correctly. Thank you so much!

Regards,

Did u find them? — Noor on Feb 11, 2020

I found the answe for Model A: 6.5=(100+30)* 5% penetration rate(see tips) I cannot understand though how they reached to 6.9M in Model B. Any idea anyone? — Panos on Jul 21, 2020

Hi Nick,

honestly, given the data I believe there is a flaw somewhere in the case. Why not contact them to find out?

Best regards

Solved 70.0k times
Deloitte Consulting case: Footloose Duraflex is a German footwear company with annual men’s footwear sales of approximately €1 b. They have always relied on the boot market for the majority of their volume. In this market they compete with three other major competitors. In the fall of 2019, Badger – one of Duraflex’s competitiors – launched a new line of aggressively priced work boots. The strong success of this line has caused Duraflex’s management to re-evaluate their position in work boots. With limited additional resources, the management must now decide if they should focus their efforts on competing with Badger in the work boot sector, or allocate their resources on further strengthening their position with casual boots. The management team approached you and asked for your advice. In order to advise them on their future work boot strategy please prepare first some insights regarding market size and competitive landscape.
