  1. the prices are cutting because of the sales falling, this makes the customers buy more from them but it is not as much of a benfit for the business 'owner' or 'owners'

  2. the investers are losing out because the company isnt making as much money.
    also employees are losing out because they may not be getting paid as much because the products arent being sold and so not as much money is being made.

  3. - The Customers, there will be cheaper prices for the products which they want
    - The shop, they will get more people inside the shop and get more people to buy the product in the shop

  5. The customers will be happy because they will save money and get the same product
    Labor will not be happy as lower prices mean less money in the company and so they may be made redundent

  6. Stakeholders affected:
    - Employees: if no customers they cant get paid, no income, have to drop prices.
    - Suppliers: no products being bought so no income = losing money
    - Managers/Owners: have to lower prices, sack employees, no income.
    -Investors: losing out on business oppurtunities.

    - Suppliers because with the sales down , they are loosing money as shops dont need to buy new stock
    - Empoloyees because with no customers buying the products , they are not getting any income , dropping the prices of there wage or even sacked
    - Mangers will have to lower prices and maybe even sack empoloyess

  10. It will benefit the cutomers because the price will go down so therefore more people will be able to afford the products.
    it wont be benefiting the owner as the sales will go down and they won't make big profit.

  11. The customers would benefit because they are getting things cheaper items.
    Manufacturers could benefit because they might get more sales, but could lose out as they may not get as much money, this is because if they are selling something previously at £10 and it costs £5 to make, then they get a £5 profit, but if they put it on sale and sell it for £7 they wont make as big a profit, only £2.

  12. The customers would benefit because of the reduction in prices.
    The owner would lose out because the sales would have dropped as well as prices, meaning less profit for them.
    The suppliers would lose out because less people are buying them so they will have to cut prices as well as the store.

  13. Customers and Consumers will benefit as the prices lower because they will not have to pay as much to get the same products. The employees will probably not get as much pay as the shop will be making less profit

  14. benefiting: customers as the prices are reduced meaning that they will spend less money for more

    Losing out:owners as due to cutting prices then the profits will decrease as revenue will decrease

  15. Benefitting:
    Suppliers more stock will be brought off them therefore they will earn more profits.

    Losing out:
    Employees won't get any Christmas bonuses or any tips from the manager(s). Whereas other years they have got these bonuses.

  16. Customers who are a type of stakeholder will be benifiting as they are spending less money on what they want to buy. The actual shop will be benefiting because they will get more sales than usual if the prices are lower.

    The manufacturer could be losing out because they will be getting less money if the prices are lower.

  17. The costumers would benifit because they are getting items cheaper and then they would save money.
    manufactures could benift if they get more sales,but also could loose out if they dont get enough sales.

  18. Customers are a stakeholder and would benefit as the prices would be lower and spend less.

    Manufacturers are also a stakeholder and could benefit and losing out as they could have more sales but also could lose money as they aren't getting paid as much as the prices are lower and so the manufacturing prices would be lower so the company would get bigger profits.
