Week 2: Individual Financial Infographic Assignment

Using what you learn this week in your chapter readings (specifically Chapter 15 and the financial ratios document) and drawing on your degree knowledge, create a message in the form of an infographic for a NEW product of your choice. Your infographic should share key financial strategy information about your selected new product. You may find it easiest to select a product with which you are familiar and make a small modification to create the revised or new product. The reason/subject of the infographic is to share key relevant financial strategy information with executives. These executives do not have time to delve into the financial details and want a high-level overview. Your infographic must communicate the following (see Chapter 15 of textbook for assistance):

1. Company and new product
2. Companys pricing objective
3. Estimated Return On Investment (ROI)
4. External Environmental Influences on Product Pricing (Select One): Competitor Pricing Comparison or Economic Influence on Pricing or Governmental Regulations Influence on Pricing
5. Pricing Approach
