Marketing and Advertising. 2 to 3 paragraphs long

List and describe the three different variables that you feel contribute to overall ad effectiveness.

List three different variables that you feel take away the effectiveness of ads.

You have just started a new job and are thrilled to learn that your new employer offers a 401(k) retirement plan to its employees. Your annual salary is $40,000. Assume the IRS allows you to contribute up to $24,000 to your 401(k). You’ve decided to contribute 7% of your annual salary to the plan.

Questions:

1. How much more money would you need to contribute to meet the maximum allowable contribution set forth by the IRS?

2. The company offers you a $.50 match for each dollar that you contribute between 2 and 5 percent of your annual salary. How much is the company match based on your 7% contribution?

3. Is this a defined benefit plan or defined contribution plan? Why?

Budget Variance Analysis

Hertzler Corporation uses customers served as its measure of activity. During November, the company budgeted for 23,000 customers, but actually served 25,000 customers. The company uses the following revenue and cost formulas in its budgeting, where q is the number of customers served:

Revenue: $7.25q
Wages and salaries: $30,500 + $2.30q
Supplies: $0.80q
Insurance: $6,200
Miscellaneous: $8,750 + $0.30q
The company reported the following actual results for November:

  

Required:

Prepare a net income report showing the company's revenue and spending variances for November. Label each variance as favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). Make sure it is formatted based on an income statement and show the actual and the budgeted side by side. (2 questions in 1 – Create Budget, then Compare Budget with Actual results, which will allow to figure the amount of variance and if it is Favorable or Unfavorable)

A recent survey on the usage of cosmetics among youth provided the following data:

Year: 2004; Sample size: 5000; Youth who use cosmetics: 36%
Year: 2014; Sample size: 4250; Youth who use cosmetics: 47%

Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference in population proportions of youth who were using cosmetics in 2004 and youth who were using cosmetics in 2014. Assume that random samples are obtained and the samples are independent. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Select the correct answer below:

(−0.150,−0.070)

(−0.136,−0.084)

(−0.140,−0.080)

1) Write a C++ program.You will code a movie search/filter console GUI with various operations.
The objectives you have to accomplish are listed below;

* Create a Movie Class with private id(int),name(string),point(float),year(int) variables
* Generate Getter for all variables and Setter for only point variable.
* Read the "movie.txt" file and store each movie in Movie array.
* Write necessary functionalities for the GUI options given in below;

Welcome to the Movie Market. Please select an option.
a - Get movie details by ID
b - List movies between the years entered
c - Change the point of a movie
d- Get movie details starting with the entered letter
e - Exit

* Write a "printMovie" function to print movie details
* Use "autoIncrement" logic to set ID values for Movie

Bonus:
Add a "voting system" functionality for movies.
* A movie can be voted up to 10 times with integer values between 1 and 10
* The "point" value of the movie should be equal to the average of votes.
* Be careful when you calculate the average
(If a movie is voted for the first time, the average is (original point value + new vote value) / 2 )

American Airlines. (AA) is an airline that operates direct, daily flights between Los Angeles (LAX) and London Heathrow (LHR) airports. AA offers only business-class tickets and service on all of its flights. On the LAX-LHR route, AA flies Airbus 320 plane configured to have a capacity of 100 business-class seats.

AA sells tickets on LAX-LHR route at $3000 and offers a generous, 90% “last-minute cancellation” policy. In particular, under such policy, a customer may cancel her flight up to 30 minutes before the departure time and receive back 90% of the $3000 fare she paid. As a result, AA is able to sell many more tickets than its plane capacity. The downside is that customers who purchased tickets may not all show up for the flight.

To better manage the profitability of its LAX-LHR route in the presence of last-minute cancellations, AA uses “overbooking,” that involves selling more tickets than 100 seats on its plane. In particular, AA would like to compare two overbooking options: 1) selling T=110 tickets, and 2) selling T=115 tickets. AA is confident that, given the moderate business-class fare it charges and a generous cancellation policy it offers, it can always sell those numbers of tickets.

The sequence of events in the presence of overbooking is as follows:

·Tickets are sold to T potential passengers at the price of $3000 each

·At about 30 minutes prior to departure, the number of customers who actually show up for the flight, A, is revealed (0≤A≤T) and the refund of $2700 is paid to each of T-A customers who did not show up

·If A≤ 100, the plane takes off with A customers on board

·If A>100, the airline asks for A-100 volunteers to release their seats and to accept alternative flight arrangements, for additional compensation. As a result of this process, the airline pays to each of A-100 volunteers the compensation of $5000, and the plane takes off with 100 customers on board.

Thus, the revenue that AA earns for a particular flight depends on the values of T and A, and consists of three components: the initial revenue from selling tickets minus the refund, if any, paid for last-minute cancellations, and minus the additional compensation, if any, paid to customers asked to release their seats.

1) Suppose that AA decides to use Option 1 (i.e., sell T=110) tickets, and the number of customers who show up for the flight is 100. What is the revenue that AA will earn for this flight, in $? Round your answer to the closest integer value.

2) Suppose that AA decides to use Option 2 (i.e., sell T=115) tickets, and the number of customers who show up for the flight is 105. What is the revenue that AA will earn for this flight, in $? Round your answer to the closest integer value.

3) Zero Management is a business analyst working for AA who was assigned a task of comparing the two overbooking options described above. Zero has decided to design a simulation model that assumes that each of T customers who bought tickets has a probability of 0.9 of actually showing up for the flight, and that each customer makes a decision to show up for the flight independently of other customers. A statistician working for AA explained to Zero that, under these assumptions, the number of customers who actually show up for the flight, A, is a binomial random variable that can take integer values 0,1,2,… T, and that has the expected value of 0.9*T.

Suppose that the AA decides to use Option 1 (T=110). Let A be the number of customers who actually show up for the flight under this option. The algebraic expression for the revenue that AA earns for this flight, in $, is

a)   330,000 – 2,700*(100-A) – 5,000*IF(A<100, 0, A-100)

b)  330,000 – 2,700*(110-A) – 5,000*IF(A<110, 0, A-110)

c)   330,000 – 2,700*(110-A) – 5,000*IF(A<100, 0, A-100)

d)  330,000 – 2,700*(100-A) – 5,000*IF(A<110, 0, A-110)

4) Consider Option 1 (T=110). If it is possible for A to take integer values 0,1,2,…,110, what is the maximum possible revenue, in $, that AA can earn for a flight? Choose the closest value.

a)   330,000

b)  303,000

c)   300,000

d)  280,000

e)   270,600

5) Consider Option 1 (T=110). If it is possible for A to take integer values 0,1,2,…,110, what is the minimum possible revenue that AA can earn for a flight? Choose the closest value.

a)   303,000

b)  280,000

c)   270,600

d)  33,000

e)   0
