Suppose that you work at a local food
manufacturer and are given the task of
investigating your company's seasonal sales
patterns over the past 10 years (2011 to
2020). After adjusting your sales values for
inflation, you calculate the following
seasonal sales averages (in millions):
Spring: 39
Summer: 46
Fall: 32
Winter: 23
Use this information to seasonally adjust
your 2021 Winter sales total of 29 million.
Round your answer to two decimal points
and omit any units (1.23 NOT $1.23 million).
A careful analysis of the cost of operating an automobile was conducted by accounting manager Dia Bandaly. The following model was
developed:
y = 3,600+ 0.16x,
where y is the annual cost and x is the miles driven.
a) If the car is driven 15,000 miles this year, the forecasted cost of operating this automobile = $
b) If the car is driven 26,000 miles this year, the forecasted cost of operating this automobile = $
(enter your response as a whole number).

Arçelik Refrigerator Production Inc. manufactures various types of refrigerators. Currently, it has produced the AA-No Frost type refrigerator and wants to do a research on its market value. The company identified its 6-person expert housewife customer and requested the valuation of the AA-No Frost refrigerator. These customers use a similar type of General Electric refrigerator, and the General Electric refrigerator value is -0.5352 in the valuation of this refrigerator. Values are determined out of 1000. According to this information, what is the value of the AA-No Frost refrigerator? What does it mean when compared to General Electric?

Grocers often study the relationship of sales volume to these strategies by conducting controlled experiments to identify the relationship between them and sales volumes. That is, they implement different combinations of pricing, coupons, and advertising, observe the sales that result, and use analytics to develop a predictive model of sales as a function of these decision strategies.arrow_forward
- Use the below formula to calculate the CLV for the following: A manager of a cable company wants to determine if it is strategic to acquire the Brett family, by estimating their household-level CLV. The manager estimates that it will cost the company $80 (A) to get the Bretts’ to switch, and the Bretts’ will generate $150 profit each year (M), with a $30 annual marketing cost to retain them (C).

- Senior executives at an oil company are trying to decide whether to drill for oil in a particular field. It costs the company $750,000 to drill. The company estimates that if oil is found the estimated value will be $3,650,000. At present, the company believes that there is a 48% chance that the field actually contains oil. Before drilling, the company can hire an expert at a cost of $75,000 to perform tests to make a prediction of whether oil is present. Based on a similar test, the probability that the test will predict oil on the field is 0.55. The probability of actually finding oil when oil was predicted is 0.85. The probability of actually finding oil when no oil was predicted is 0.2.
