Cost Estimation:

Anna Marinez, manager of the Dos Coyotes restaurant, wants to see whether her new advertising campaign is working to increase sales. She obtained the following data for the last nine months.

Month	Revenues	Advertising
apr	$200,000	$52,000
may	$270,000	$65,000
jun	$320,000	$80,000
jul	$480,000	$90,000
aug	$430,000	$100,000
sep	$450,000	$110,000
oct	$540,000	$120,000
nov	$670,000	$180,000
dec	$751,000	$197,000
total	$4,111,000	$994,000

1-What is the incremental revenue per dollar of advertising?

2-What is revenue in the absence of advertising?

3-What are expected revenues with $180,000 of advertising?

4- You have been asked to comment on the results. You observe that the effect of advertising on revenue is an insufficient analysis. After all, increased revenues bring increased costs for food, beverages, and waitstaff salaries. You find the following information about the restaurant's profitability without advertising.

		per customer
revenue		$35.00
food & beverage		$15.00
waitstaff salaries*		$7.00
occupancy costs		$4.00
mgmt salaries		$3.00
gross profit		$6.00

5-What is the minimum revenue required for a dollar of advertising?

A fast-food restaurant manager wants to see the average bill per car passing through the drive-thru increase. Historically, cars spend an average of $12.39. After implementing the new process employees must follow for each car in the drive-thru, the manager randomly selects 40 cars and finds the mean bill is $12.87 with a standard deviation of $3.92. Does this sample evidence suggest the new process results in a higher ticket price per car? Use a 0.05 level of significance.
