Marketing Dec 22, 2020

In response to complaints about high prices, a grocery chain runs the following advertising campaign: "If you pay a child $1.50 to go buy $50 worth of groceries, then you child makes twice as much on the trip as we do." You've collected the following information from the grocery chain's financial statements:

 

Sales $710
Net Income $10.65
Total assets $390
Total debt $280

 

Required:

Evaluate the grocery chain's claim.

What is the basis for this statement?

Is this claim misleading? Why or why not?

Expert Solution

Yes, it is misleading. I cannot understand that a $1.50 is worth of $50 groceries. Why not the advertising campaign about it will be, for every $50 sale of groceries, it costs us $45. Giving an amount not related to the purpose of the advertisement of high prices will mislead the customers.
