Using his TightWad(R) database, Stu's MileageMiser has developed a new GPS based service to certify drivers for insurance discounts. He tracks their speeds, locations, and braking activity and delivers reports to insurance companies. January 1, 2009 he had 10,000 paying customers. Of that group, a year later, 9,900 were still customers. He spent $24,000 on programs designed to keep current customers happy and $45,000 on marketing to acquire new customers. His total number of customers on January 1, 2010 was 14,000. His revenue per customer is $55 per year and variable costs before marketing per customer are $5 per year.

e) What is Stu's annual churn rate? What is the retention rate?

An organization monitors many aspects of elementary and secondary education nationwide. Their 2000 numbers are often used as a baseline to assess changes. In 2000 48 % of students had not been absent from school even once during the previous month. In the 2004 ​survey, responses from 6827 randomly selected students showed that this figure had slipped to 47 %. Officials would note any change in the rate of student attendance. Answer the questions below.

​(a) Write appropriate hypotheses.

Upper H 0 : The percentage of students in 2004 with perfect attendance the previous month ▼ is greater than 48%. is less than 48%. is different from 48%. is equal to 48%.

Upper H Subscript Upper A Baseline : The percentage of students in 2004 with perfect attendance the previous month ▼ is greater than 48%. is equal to 48%. is less than 48%. is different from 48%.

(b) Check the necessary assumptions.

The independence condition is ▼ satisfied. not satisfied. The randomization condition is ▼ not satisfied. satisfied. The​ 10% condition is ▼ satisfied. not satisfied. The​ success/failure condition is ▼ not satisfied. satisfied. ​

(c) Perform the test and find the​ P-value. ​P-value equals ________ ​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.) ​

(d) State your conclusion. Assume a=0.05.

A. We fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that the percentage of students with perfect attendance in the previous month has changed.

B. We can reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that the percentage of students with perfect attendance in the previous month has changed.

C. We fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to suggest that the percentage of students with perfect attendance in the previous month has changed.

A large supermarket carries four qualities of ground beef. Customers are believed to purchase these four varieties with probabilities of 0.13, 0.27, 0.14, and 0.46, respectively, from the least to most expensive variety. A sample of 480 purchases resulted in sales of 48, 148, 74, and 210 of the respective qualities. Does this sample contradict the expected proportions? Use α = 0.05.

(a) Find the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)


(ii) Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

A program for generating random numbers on a computer is to be tested. The program is instructed to generate 100 single-digit integers between 0 and 9. The frequencies of the observed integers were as follows. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there sufficient reason to believe that the integers are not being generated uniformly?

Integer 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Frequency 10 8 6 8 13 10 7 11 14 13

(a) Find the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)


(ii) Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Researchers are studying the impact of alcohol consumption on a person’s ability to perform a simple task. Five subjects complete a small puzzle while sober, and then again after drinking three glasses of wine. The times (in seconds) are shown below, as well as some summary statistics:

  • This Individual Case Study Assignment should be around 1,000 words in total and should be submitted in the form of a business report (approximately 500 words for each part).

Individual Case Study Assignment Part A

BLC Ltd. is a medium-sized UK manufacturing company based in Liverpool.

The company is seeking to expand its operations with the establishment of an office block to house the marketing and human resources staff in Manchester. The company has narrowed the choice to two alternatives with the following net cash flow information being available:

Year Property 1 Property 2
£000s £000s
0 (2,500) (2,750)
1 1,000 900
2 500 700
3 600 800
4 1,000 600
5 900 700

Items to keep in mind:

  • The company’s current cost of capital is 10%.
  • For this assignment, ignore taxation.

Required

As the company accountant is currently on holiday, you are required to:

  • By calculating net present value, internal rate of return and payback, advise the company which option they should take.
  • Critically evaluate the other qualitative factors that might be taken into account in this decision.

Individual Case Study Assignment Part B

BLC Ltd. has revenue of £500 million and sells all of its goods on credit to a variety of different wholesale customers. At the moment the company offers a standard credit period of 30 days. However, 70% of its customers (by revenue) take an average of 70 days to pay, while the other 30% of customers (by revenue) pay within 30 days. The company is considering offering a 2% discount for payment within 30 days and estimates that 80% of customers (by revenue) will take up this offer (including those that already pay within 30 days).

The Managing Director has asked the credit controller if the cost of this new policy would be worth offering. The company has a £80 million overdraft facility that it regularly uses to the full limit due to the lateness of payment and the cost of this overdraft facility is 15% per annum.

The credit controller also estimates that bad debt level of 2% of revenue would be halved to 1% of revenue as a result of this new policy.

Required

  1. Calculate the approximate equivalent annual percentage cost of a discount of 2%, which reduces the time taken by credit customers to pay from 70 days to 30 days.
  2. Calculate the value of trade receivables under the existing scheme and the proposed scheme at the year-end.
  3. Evaluate the benefits and costs of the scheme and explain with reasons whether the company should go ahead and offer the discount. You should also consider other factors in this decision. (Hint: You need to work out the cost of the discount compared to the interest on the overdraft saved and bad debt reduction.)
