▶ Your Answer :
The author asserts that the company
should resume their alpaca overcoat production. However, the author’s
assumption might not be strong enough to warrant his/her conclusion.
First of all, the assertion that
alpaca overcoat will sell very well due to the customers’ high demand might not
be true. The lack of certain coat’s supply doesn’t necessarily indicate the
customers’ demand on that cloth. Rather, the major competitor might have
stopped selling the alpaca overcoat because of the low demand of consumers.
Also, over five years in which Satorian stopped yielding apaca overcoat, the
customers’ preference might have changed, resulting that revival of alpaca
overcoat would not recommend the high consumption. Therefore, further evidence
is required to assure that the customers have high demand on alpaca overcoat.
Furthermore, the overall price of
most types of clothing does not indicate the customers’ willingness to pay
higher prices. The assumption based on a phenomenon that prices of clothing had
risen could be too tenuous to warrant higher profit of the company. For
example, the customers might have seeked for comparatively low price ever since
the overall sale had increased. This could be said that lowering the price of
the alpaca overcoat could provide higher consumption which consequently can
grant bigger profit to the company. Also, higher price of clothing does not
always indicate the high profit unless the consumption is high enough to offset
the cost made for production. Therefore, further evidence is necessary to
verify the author’s claim.
To reiterate, the author’s
suggestion that the company should revive their once stopped alpaca overcoat not
be necessarily true since the author might have misinterpreted the given
conditions. Therefore, it should be reconsidered with further evidences to
strengthen the author’s assertion. |
