The manufacturer of GRIPPER tires modeled its return to sales from television advertising expenditures in two regions, as follows: Region 1: S, = 30 + 38x1 - 0.8x,? Region 2: S, = 40 + 26x, - 1.3x,? where S, and S, are the sales revenue in millions of dollars and x, and x2 are millions of dollars of expenditures for television advertising. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) What advertising expenditures would maximize sales revenue in each district? Region 1 $ million Region 2 $ million (b) How much money will be needed to maximize sales revenue in both districts? $4 million

Kalamazoo Blooming Nursery is a small company specializing in selling flowers. They developed a new product called Flowers of the Month in which they would send a customer a different flower arrangement every month. KBN charged $52 a month for Flowers of the Month. KBN spent $60,000 on their marketing campaign last year, including advertising, which led to $94,000 extra profit over the year. They estimate that their extra sales last year from this campaign was $80,000 on their usual (baseline}sales of $450,000. From the campaign they acquired 43 subscribers to Flowers of the Month who continued to subscribe to Flowers of the Month for an average of 4 years. What is the lift from this campaign? (Note: multiply answer by 100 to represent %) Your Answer:
A waterpark has a profit of $22,000 on sunny days, a profit of $11,500 on overcast days, but a loss of $4,000 on rainy days. For the month of June, the weather is predicted to be 62% sunny, 23% overcast, and 15% rainy. Find the expected daily profit for the waterpark in June.
Because of new federal regulations on pollution, a chemical plant introduced a new, more expensive process to supplement or replace an older process used in the production of a particular chemical. The older process emitted 40 grams of sulfur dioxide and 120 grams of particulate matter into the atmosphere for each gallon of chemical produced. The new process emits 5 grams of sulfur dioxide and 40 grams of particulate matter for each gallon produced. The company makes a profit of 80¢ per gallon and 20¢ per gallon on the old and new processes, respectively. Answer parts (A) through (C) below. (A) If the government allows the plant to emit no more than 36,000 grams of sulfur dioxide and 90,000 grams of particulate matter daily, how many gallons of the chemical should be produced by each process to maximize daily profit? Wha is the maximum daily profit? Summarize the model, Maximize Objective function subject to V 36,000 Sulfur dioxide constraint V 90,000 Particulate constraint х, у 2…
Osteoporosis is a degenerative disease that primarily affects women over the age of 60. A research analyst wants to forecast sales of StrongBones, a prescription drug for treating this debilitating disease. She uses the model Sales = B0 + B1 Population + B2 Income + ε, where Sales is the sales of Strong Bones (in $1,000,000s), Population is the number of women over the age of 60 (in millions), and Income is the average income of women over the age of 60 (in $1,000s). She collects data on 29 cities across the United States and obtains the following regression results: Coefficients Standard Error t Stat p-Value Intercept Population Income 10.15 3.13 3.24 0.0071 8.45 1.11 7.61 0.0047 7.45 6.12 1.22 0.3468 a. What is the sample regression equation? Note: Enter your answers in millions rounded to 2 decimal places. Sales = + Population + Income b-1. Interpret the coefficient of population. As the number of women over the age of 60 increases by 1 million, sales of Strong Bones is predicted to…

A citrus grower anticipates a profit of $100,000 this year if the nightly temperatures remain mild. Unfortunately, the weather forecast indicates a 25% chance that the temperatures will drop below freezing during the next week. Such freezing weather will destroy 40% of the crop and reduce the profit to $60,000. However, the grower can protect the citrus fruit against the possible freezing (using smudge pots, electric fans, and so on) at a cost of $5000. Should the grower spend the $5000 and thereby reducethe profit to $95,000? [Hint: Compute E(X ), where X is theprofit the grower will get if he does nothing to protect the fruit.]
Dataware is trying to determine whether to give a $10 rebate, to cut the price $6, or to have no price change on a software product. Currently, 40,000 units of the product are sold each week for $45. The variable cost of the product is $5. The most likely case appears to be that a $10 rebate will increas e sales 30%, and half of all people will claim the rebate. For the price cut, the most likely case is that sales will increase 20%. a) Build the basic model to compute the profits of the three options. b) What increase in sales from the rebate would make the r ebate and price cut equally desirable? c) Dataware does not really know the increase in sales that will result from a rebate or price cut. However, the company is sure that the rebate will increase sales by between 15% and 40% and that the price cut will incr ease sales by between 10% and 30%. Perform a sensitivity analysis that could be used to help determine Dataware ’ s course of action

The sales of a company rose from dollar 30,000 in the month of February to dollar 35,000 in the month of March. The seasonal indices for these two months are 105 and 140, respectively. The owner of the company was not satisfied by this increase of dollar 5000 in the month of March. He expected much more because of the seasonal index. How much could he expect on the basis of the seasonal index?
Accounting procedures allow a business to evaluate its inventory costs based on two methods: LIFO (last in first out) or FIFO (first in first out). A manufacturer evaluated its finished goods inventory (in $000s) for five products with the LIFO and FIFO methods. To analyze the difference, they computed FIFO − LIFO for each product. Based on the following results, does the LIFO method result in a lower cost of inventory than the FIFO method? Product FIFO (F) LIFO (L) 1 225 221 2 119 100 3 100 113 4 212 200 5 248 245 This example is what type of test? A) A one-sample test of meansB) A two-sample test of meansC) A paired t-testD) A test of proportions
