World famous Burpee Beer is brewed in the small town of West Burpee. Curently, the town of West Burpee levies a $2 per-case tax on all Burpee Beer, and the brewery sells 20,000 cases a year at a total price of $20 per case. The mayor of West Burpee has decided to erect a statue of himself in the town square at a cost of $20,000 and wants to raise the money from additional tax revenue from sales of Burpee Beer. He has asked each of the three town council members to come up with a plan to raise the additional $20,000, and their plans are as follows: Council Member Simpson advises increasing the per-case tax by $1, Council member Milhouse advises raising the tax by $2 per case, and council member Flanders advises reducing the current tax by $0.50 per case. For each of the three council member's plans, determine the following:
a. How many total cases of beer would need to be produced in to increase tax revenue by exactly $20,000?
b. What is the price elasticity of demand for Burpee Beer if the tax revenue increases by exactly $20,000?
c. How much total revenue will Burpee Beer receive if the tax revenue increases by exactly $20,000?

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.

Companies in the U.S. car rental market vary greatly in terms of the size of the fleet, the number of locations, and annual revenue. In 2011, Hertz had 320,000 cars in service and annual revenue of approximately $4.2 billion. Suppose the following data show the number of cars in service (1,000s) and the annual revenue ($ millions) for six smaller car rental companies. Company Cars (1,000s) Revenue ($ millions) Company A 11.5 116 Company B 10.0 133 Company C 9.0 98 Company D 5.5 35 Company E 4.2 42 Company F 3.3 32 (a) Develop a scatter diagram with the number of cars in service as the independent variable. A scatter diagram has 6 points plotted on it. The horizontal axis ranges from 0 to 14 and is labeled: Cars in Service (1,000s). The vertical axis ranges from 0 to 160 and is labeled: Annual Revenue ($ millions). The points are plotted from left to right in an upward, diagonal direction starting from the lower left corner of the diagram and are between 3 to 12 on the horizontal axis and between 40 to 150 on the vertical axis. The fifth point from the left is noticeably higher on the diagram than both the fourth and sixth points from the left. The 3 leftmost points and the 3 rightmost points have a large amount of space between them. A scatter diagram has 6 points plotted on it. The horizontal axis ranges from 0 to 14 and is labeled: Cars in Service (1,000s). The vertical axis ranges from 0 to 160 and is labeled: Annual Revenue ($ millions). The points are plotted from left to right in an upward, diagonal direction starting from the lower left corner of the diagram and are between 3 to 12 on the horizontal axis and between 30 to 140 on the vertical axis. Each consecutive point is higher on the diagram than the previous point. The 3 leftmost points and the 3 rightmost points have a large amount of space between them. A scatter diagram has 6 points plotted on it. The horizontal axis ranges from 0 to 14 and is labeled: Cars in Service (1,000s). The vertical axis ranges from 0 to 160 and is labeled: Annual Revenue ($ millions). The points are plotted from left to right in a downward, diagonal direction starting from the upper left corner of the diagram and are between 3 to 12 on the horizontal axis and between 30 to 140 on the vertical axis. The second point from the left is noticeably higher on the diagram than both the first and third points from the left. The 3 leftmost points and the 3 rightmost points have a large amount of space between them. A scatter diagram has 6 points plotted on it. The horizontal axis ranges from 0 to 14 and is labeled: Cars in Service (1,000s). The vertical axis ranges from 0 to 160 and is labeled: Annual Revenue ($ millions). The points are plotted from left to right in an upward, diagonal direction starting from the lower left corner of the diagram and are between 3 to 12 on the horizontal axis and between 30 to 140 on the vertical axis. The fifth point from the left is noticeably higher on the diagram than both the fourth and sixth points from the left. The 3 leftmost points and the 3 rightmost points have a large amount of space between them. (b) What does the scatter diagram developed in part (a) indicate about the relationship between the two variables? There appears to be a negative linear relationship between cars in service (1,000s) and annual revenue ($ millions). There appears to be no noticeable relationship between cars in service (1,000s) and annual revenue ($ millions). There appears to be a positive linear relationship between cars in service (1,000s) and annual revenue ($ millions). (c) Use the least squares method to develop the estimated regression equation that can be used to predict annual revenue (in $ millions) given the number of cars in service (in 1,000s). (Round your numerical values to three decimal places.) ŷ = (d) For every additional car placed in service, estimate how much annual revenue will change (in dollars). (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) Annual revenue will increase by $ , for every additional car placed in service. (e) A particular rental company has 7,000 cars in service. Use the estimated regression equation developed in part (c) to predict annual revenue (in $ millions) for this company. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) $ million
