The ABC Company is involved in the production and selling of consumer goods, particularly beauty products such as bath soap and shampoo and had registered a positive profit growth for the last 10 years. However, the current year seems to be different from those years as the company is expecting a decline in profit; which is estimated to be about 70% below the target. The manager now is in a dilemma … asking himself/herself “What happened, why this decline in profit?” The Manager then asked the company Accountant to give him/her the data on sales and advertising cost for the last 10 years – he/she wants these data to determine whether the company can live without advertising, as advertising cost happens to be substantial. Justify your answer by doing as step-by-step procedure in Correlation Analysis using a 0.05 level of significance. The data are as follows –
Describe the patterns in quantity sold and own and rival prices during this time period using basic descriptive statistics. Graphs are welcome as well. Take the logs of the variables, and estimate the demand function. Interpret the R-square. Interpret the coefficients for logP and logPsub Interpret the p-values associated with each independent variable Are consumers price sensitive? Why or why not? (be as precise as you can – you have estimates!). Does this price sensitivity make sense given the good we are examining? How sensitive are our consumers to changes in the rival good’s price? Explain in detail. Suppose we decide to charge a per ounce price of $2, while at the same time our rival charges a price of $2.15. All else equal, what would you expect sales to be? How confident are you in your forecast? Suppose we are charging a price of $2 and our current marginal cost is $1.50 Are we maximizing profits at this price? If not, should we raise or lower price? Why?

Suppose you are the marketing manager of a firm, and you plan to introduce a new product to the market. You have to estimate the first year net profit, which depends on several variables • Sales volume (in units) • Price per unit • Unit cost . Fixed costs Your net profit is net profit = sales volume x (price per unit-unit cost) - fixed cost The fixed cost is $120, 000, but other factors have some uncertainty. Based on your market research, there are equal chance that the market will be slow, ok, or hot. • Slow market the sales volume follows Poisson distribution with mean 50,000 units product, and the average price per unit is $11.00 ● Ok market the sales volume follows Poisson distribution with mean 75,000 units product, the average price per unit is $10.00 Hot market: the sales volume follows Poisson distribution with mean 100,000 units product, but the competition is severe so you expect the average price per unit is just $8.00 No matter what the market type is, your average unit…
Select the most appropriate response. A university statistician found that the correlation between college GPA and starting salary was 0.12.
