Pelican Stores

Pelican Stores, a division of National Clothing, is a chain of women’s apparel stores operating throughout the country. The chain recently ran a promotion in which discount coupons were sent to customers of other National Clothing stores. data collected for a sample of 100 in-store credit card transactions at Pelican Stores during one day while the promotion was running are contained in the file named PelicanStores. Table 2.19 shows a portion of the data set. The Proprietary Card method of payment refers to charges made using a National Clothing charge card. Customers who made a purchase using a discount coupon are referred to as promotional customers and customers who made a purchase but did not use a discount coupon are referred to as regular customers. because the promo- tional coupons were not sent to regular Pelican Stores customers, management considers the sales made to people presenting the promotional coupons as sales it would not other- wise make. Of course, Pelican also hopes that the promotional customers will continue to shop at its stores.

Most of the variables shown in Table 2.19 are self-explanatory, but two of the variables require some clarification.

- Items The total number of items purchased

- Net Sales The total amount ($) charged to the credit card

Pelican’s management would like to use this sample data to learn about its customer base and to evaluate the promotion involving discount coupons.

Managerial Report

Use the tabular and graphical methods of descriptive statistics to help management develop a customer profile and to evaluate the promotional campaign. At a minimum, your report should include the following:

1. Percent frequency distribution for key variables.

2. A bar chart or pie chart showing the number of customer purchases attributable to the method of payment.

3. A crosstabulation of type of customer (regular or promotional) versus net sales. Comment on any similarities or differences present.

4. A scatter diagram to explore the relationship between net sales and customer age.

Your company has two​ divisions: One division sells software and the other division sells computers through a direct sales​ channel, primarily taking orders over the internet. You have decided that Dell Computer is very similar to your computer​ division, in terms of both risk and financing. You go online and find the following​ information: Dell's beta is 1.16​, the​ risk-free rate is 4.1 %​, its market value of equity is $ 65.5 ​billion, and it has $ 700 million worth of debt with a yield to maturity of 6.4 %. Your tax rate is 40 % and you use a market risk premium of 5.2 % in your WACC estimates. a. What is an estimate of the WACC for your computer sales​ division? b. If your overall company WACC is 11.6 % and the computer sales division represents 44 % of the value of your​ firm, what is an estimate of the WACC for your software​ division? ​Note: Assume that the firm will always be able to utilize its full interest tax shield. a. What is an estimate of the WACC for your computer sales​ division? The weighted average cost of capital for your computer sales division is nothing​%

Do heavier cars really use more gasoline? Suppose a car is chosen at random. Let x be the weight of the car (in hundreds of pounds), and let y be the miles per gallon (mpg).

(b) Verify the given sums Σx, Σy, Σx², Σy², Σxy, and the value of the sample correlation coefficient r. (Round your value for r to three decimal places.)

(c) Find x, and y. Then find the equation of the least-squares line  = a + bx. (Round your answers for x and y to two decimal places. Round your answers for a and b to three decimal places.)

(d) Graph the least-squares line. Be sure to plot the point (x, y) as a point on the line.

(e) Find the value of the coefficient of determination r². What percentage of the variation in y can be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line? What percentage is unexplained? (Round your answer for r² to three decimal places. Round your answers for the percentages to one decimal place.)

(f) Suppose a car weighs x = 41 (hundred pounds). What does the least-squares line forecast for y = miles per gallon? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Table 11-6 Consider the city of Widgetapolis with only four residents, John, James, Mary, and Lydia. The four residents are trying to determine how many hours to spend in cleaning up the public lake. The table below shows each resident’s willingness to pay for each hour of cleaning. Hours John James Mary Lydia 1 $30 $50 $40 $10 2 25 40 37 9 3 20 30 34 8 4 15 20 30 7 5 9 10 25 6 6 3 0 15 5 7 0 0 5 4 ​ ​ Refer to Table 11-6. Suppose the cost of cleaning the lake is $20 per hour, and that the residents have agreed to split the cost of cleaning the lake equally. If the residents vote to determine the number of hours spent cleaning the lake, basing their decision solely on what maximizes their own surplus, what is the most number of hours for which all four residents would vote “yes?” a. 6 hours b. 4 hours c. 3 hours d. 5 hours

Jessica’s Catering Service bakes and delivers lasagnas to parties and group meetings. In a typical week, Jessica has around 40 orders. Each order involves a specific amount of the required lasagna in pounds. A small group would need about 20 pounds, whereas a large group would need almost triple that amount. The following table shows the different customer orders that have come in this week, grouped into eight categories by weight.

15 points: Jessica has an inventory of 100 six-pound trays and 80 ten-pound trays. Although she appears to have enough capacity in her trays, she would like to plan her orders so that the amount of excess lasagna is kept to a minimum.

5 points: How many six-pound trays and ten-pound trays should Jessica use for each of the orders?
