Kanpur Confectioneries Profit Analysis

This document analyzes the current and potential future profitability of Kanpur Confectioneries' (KCPL) business. It provides a scenario analysis of KCPL's profitability under different assumptions about Pearson's continued business and KCPL's ability to achieve cost efficiencies from an offer by APL. The key scenarios show a potential profit ranging from a loss of Rs. 154,183 if Pearson withdraws and there are no cost efficiencies, to a maximum profit of Rs. 244,600 if Pearson continues at Rs. 3,000/ton and KCPL achieves full productivity and cost benefits from APL. Accepting APL's offer could improve or worsen profits depending on Pearson's reaction

Kanpur Confectioneries - Profitability Analysis after accepting


APL offer
The profitability would depend upon (1) reaction from Pearson and
(2) material cost eficiency in line with APL
(1) Pearson may continue with Rs. 3000/ton conversion fees, may negotiate and reduce it to
Rs. 1500/ton as offered by APL or may discontinue the business with KCPL
(i) Contribution @ Rs. 3000/ton = Rs. 2700
(ii) Contribution @ Rs. 1500/ton = Rs. 1200
(iii) Contribution if discontinued = Rs. 0
(2) APL would reimburse material expenses as per its norms and in short run,
KCPL may not achieve the material cost efficiency. This efficiency arises due to productivity improvement
and lower purchase price of inputs. KCPL may achieve only productivity improvement or both.
Further, we should consider improved cost efficiency benefits only on KCPL's
own quantity because any gain on Pearson quantity should be passed on to them as KCPL eithical company.

Thus, multiple scenarios get developed as follows:


(a) Pearson at Rs. 3, and, without cost efficiency
(b) Pearson at Rs. 3, and, with productivity improvement but KCPL costs
(c) Pearson at Rs. 3, and, with productivity improvement and APL costs
(d) Pearson at Rs. 1.50, and, without cost efficiency
(e) Pearson at Rs. 1.50, and, with productivity improvement but KCPL costs
(f) Pearson at Rs. 1.50, and, with productivity improvement and APL costs
(g) Pearson withdraws,and, without cost efficiency
(h) Pearson at Rs. 1.50, and, with productivity improvement but KCPL costs
(i) Pearson at Rs. 1.50, and, with productivity improvement and APL costs
