A publisher sells subscriptions to its print publications and to its online versions of the same publications. A customer can buy a print-only subscription for (see separate sheet) months for (see separate sheet), or a print subscription plus an online subscription for (see separate sheet). Experience shows that almost all customers buy the print plus the online subscription, so the publisher does not allocate between print only and print plus online; it simply treats everything—even the print-only subscriptions—for accounting purposes as if it were print plus online.

Assume that the publisher sells this number of subscriptions (see separate sheet). Make the journal entries for (a) the sale of the subscriptions and (b) the monthly amount of subscription revenue.

Number of months subscription is good for- 12

Subscription Price, print only- 107.00

Subscription price, print plus online- 108.00

Number of subscriptions sold, print plus online-94

Research conducted by Worldwide, Inc., a manufacturer of laptop computers, shows that potential laptop customers (i.e., “buyers”) differ in the importance that they attach to the following two laptop features:   (1) that the laptop include a solid state drive (i.e., SSD), and (2) that the laptop include a high resolution screen. A sample of five representative (prospective) customers of Worldwide reveals the following set of preferences for these attributes/benefits (the data are comma-delimited):

1, 6,    8

2, 3,     4

3, 4,     1

4, 4,     8

5, 5.5, 7       (this is not a typo: the x value for customer #5 is 5 ½)

where:

                  (1) the measurement scale is continuous, and ranges from 1=very unimportant to

     10=very important

                  (2) the first entry in a row is the respondent i.d. number

                  (3) the second entry (x-axis) is the importance weight attached to “includes a SSD”

                  (4) the third entry (y-axis) is the importance weight attached to “includes a high resolution

     screen”

For Question #1, parts (a) through (h) below, perform a k-means cluster analysis of the Worldwide data. For purposes of this question, set k= 2, and use the point (3,5) as initial centroid #1 and the point (6,1) as initial centroid #2. Perform all numeric calculations to 3 decimal places of precision (e.g., 8.352).

(1a) Which customers (i.e., “buyers”) are assigned to starting centroid #1, and what is the Euclidean distance between each of these customers and starting centroid #1? In your answer clearly indicate each customer’s id, and the Euclidean distance (to 3 decimal places) between the customer and starting (i.e., initial) centroid #1.

                                    Buyer id: _________          Distance: ____________

(1c) Following your assignment (in 1a and 1b above) of customers to the two starting centroids, what are the revised (i.e., updated) centroid values for centroid #1 and centroid #2?   (Note: you can refer to these revisions as “1st iteration”-revised centroids)

                  1st iteration-revised centroid #1: ___________  

                  1st iteration-revised centroid #2: ___________  

(1d) Next, based on your answer to part (1c), and continuing the k-means clustering process, which customers should be assigned to the 1st iteration-revised centroid #1, and what is the Euclidean distance between each of these customers and the 1st iteration-revised centroid #1?

                                    Buyer id: _________          Distance: ____________    

                                    Buyer id: _________          Distance: ____________    

                                    Buyer id: _________          Distance: ____________

                                    Buyer id: _________          Distance: ____________

                                    Buyer id: _________          Distance: ____________

(1e) Similarly, based on your answer to part (1c), which customers should be assigned to the 1st iteration-revised centroid #2, and what is the Euclidean distance between each of these customers and the 1st iteration-revised centroid #2?

Buyer id: _________          Distance: ____________   

                                    Buyer id: _________          Distance: ____________   

                                    Buyer id: _________          Distance: ____________   

                                    Buyer id: _________          Distance: ____________

                                    Buyer id: _________          Distance: ____________

(1f) Based on your customer assignments in parts (1d) and (1e), what are the 2nd iteration-revised centroid values, for centroid #1 and centroid #2?

                  2nd iteration-revised centroid #1: ___________    

                  2nd iteration-revised centroid #2: ___________  

(1g) Are any additional iterations needed in this k-means clustering problem? Yes or no? Why or why not?

                  ___________________________________________________________________

(1h) What is the Euclidean distance between the final cluster centroids (i.e., the 2nd iteration-revised centers)?

                  Distance = _______________
