Dixie Showtime Movie Theaters, Inc., owns and operates a chain of cinemas in several markets in the southern U.S. The owners would like to estimate weekly gross revenue as a function of advertising expenditures. Data for a sample of eight markets for a recent week follow.
Market |
Weekly Gross Revenue ($100s) |
Television Advertising ($100s) |
Newspaper Advertising ($100s) |
|
Mobile | 101.3 | 4.9 | 1.4 | |
Shreveport | 52.9 | 3.1 | 3.2 | |
Jackson | 75.8 | 4.2 | 1.5 | |
Birmingham | 127.2 | 4.5 | 4.3 | |
Little Rock | 137.8 | 3.6 | 4.0 | |
Biloxi | 102.4 | 3.5 | 2.3 | |
New Orleans | 236.8 | 5.0 | 8.4 | |
Baton Rouge | 220.6 | 6.8 | 5.9 |
(a) | Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation with the amount of television advertising as the independent variable. |
Let x represent the amount of television advertising. | |
If required, round your answers to three decimal places. For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign even if there is a + sign before the blank. (Example: -300) | |
= + x | |
Test for a significant relationship between television advertising and weekly gross revenue at the 0.05 level of significance. What is the interpretation of this relationship? | |
The input in the box below will not be graded, but may be reviewed and considered by your instructor. | |
(b) | How much of the variation in the sample values of weekly gross revenue does the model in part (a) explain? |
If required, round your answer to two decimal places. | |
% | |
(c) | Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation with both television advertising and newspaper advertising as the independent variables. |
Let x1 represent the amount of television advertising. | |
Let x2 represent the amount of newspaper advertising. | |
If required, round your answers to three decimal places. For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign even if there is a + sign before the blank. (Example: -300) | |
= + x1 + x2 | |
Test whether each of the regression parameters β0, β1, and β2 is equal to zero at a 0.05 level of significance. What are the correct interpretations of the estimated regression parameters? Are these interpretations reasonable? | |
The input in the box below will not be graded, but may be reviewed and considered by your instructor. | |
(d) | How much of the variation in the sample values of weekly gross revenue does the model in part (c) explain? |
If required, round your answer to two decimal places. | |
% | |
(e) | Given the results in part (a) and part (c), what should your next step be? Explain. |
The input in the box below will not be graded, but may be reviewed and considered by your instructor. | |
(f) | What are the managerial implications of these results? |
The input in the box below will not be graded, but may be reviewed and considered by your instructor. | |

An individual retirement account, or IRA, earns tax-deferred interest and allows the owner to invest up to $5000 each year. Joe and Jill both will make IRA deposits for 30 years (from age 35 to 65) into stock mutual funds yielding 9.1%. Joe deposits $5000 once each year, while Jill has $96.15 (which is 5000/52) withheld from her weekly paycheck and deposited automatically. How much will each have at age 65? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) Joe $ Jill $

4. Use a proof by contradiction to show that the square root of 3 is irrational. You may use the following fact: For any integer k, if k2 is a multiple of 3, then k is a multiple of 3. Hint: The proof is very similar to the proof that √2 is irrational.
5. Use a direct proof to show that the product of a rational number and an integer must be a rational number.
6. Use a proof by contradiction to show that the sum of an integer and an irrational number must be irrational.

Read Proposition 1.23, the paragraph between the proposition and
its proof, and the proof.
a. In your own words, explain the meaning of the two different
mathematical ideas of "existence" and "uniqueness".
b. How do the ideas of "existence" and "uniqueness" relate to the
phrase "one and only one"?
c. In your own words, explain why the proof of a "one and only one"
statement will have two distinct parts.
Prove Proposition 1.26. Proposition 1.26. Let m,n ∈ Z. If mn = 0, then m = 0 or n = 0.

Several years ago Brant, Inc., sold $960,000 in bonds to the public. Annual cash interest of 9 percent ($86,400) was to be paid on this debt. The bonds were issued at a discount to yield 12 percent. At the beginning of 2016, Zack Corporation (a wholly owned subsidiary of Brant) purchased $160,000 of these bonds on the open market for $181,000, a price based on an effective interest rate of 7 percent. The bond liability had a carrying amount on that date of $930,000. Assume Brant uses the equity method to account internally for its investment in Zack.
a. & b. What consolidation entry would be required for these bonds on December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2018?

Consider a cash flow profile in which $3000 is received at t=1, spent at t=2, and received at t=5, and $3000 is received at t=3. Suppose the interest rate is 3% the first 2 periods, 5% the next two periods and is 7% the 5th period. ( Note: t denotes end of period t.) Create a cashflow and present value table. Find the equivalents for the cash flow profile for the following items. a) Present worth b) Uniform series equivalent c) Geometric Series Equivalent (j = 1% for the entire period) • Show your calculation in detail and explain how the results are obtained.
