Referring to Exercise 14-58, suppose a student has an SAT score of 400. What is her estimate GPA at State University? Discuss the ramifications of using the model developed in Exercise 14-58 to estimate this student’s GPA.

14-58

At State University, a study was done to establish whether a relationship exists between students’ graduating grade point average (GPA) and the SAT verbal score when the student originally entered the university. The sample data are reported as follows:

GPA    2.5 3.2 3.5 2.8 3.0 2.4 3.4 2.9 2.7 3.8

SAT    640 700 550 540 620 490 710 600 505 710

a. Develop a scatter plot for these data and describe what, if any, relationship exists between the two variables, GPA and SAT score.

b. (1) Compute the correlation coefficient. (2) Does it appear that the success of students at State University is related to the SAT verbal scores of those students? Conduct a statistical procedure to answer this question. Use a significance level of 0.01.

c. (1) Compute the regression equation based on these sample data if you wish to predict the university GPA using the student SAT score. (2) Interpret the regression coefficients.

The publisher Reed Elsevier uses a mixed-bundling pricing strategy. The publisher sells a university access to a bundle of 930 of its journals for $1.7 million for one year. It also offers the journals separately at individual prices. Because Elsevier offers the journals online (with password access), universities can track how often their students and faculty access journals and then cancel those journals that are seldom read. Suppose that a publisher offers a university only three journals—A, B, and C—at the unbundled, individual annual subscription prices of pA = $1,600, pB = $800, and pC= $1,500. Suppose a university’s willingness to pay for each of the journals is νA = $2,000, vB = $1,100, and vC = $1,400.

a. If the publisher offers the journals only at the individual subscription prices, to which journals does the university subscribe?

b. Given these individual prices, what is the highest price that the university is willing to pay for the three journals bundled together?

c. Now suppose that the publisher offers the same deal to a second university with willingness- to-pay vA = $1,800, vB = $100, and vC = $2,100. With the two universities, calculate the revenue-maximizing individual and bundle prices.

QUESTION C IS VERY CONFUSING FOR ME. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AND STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION SIR/MADAM.

Build a html form with the following elements. The form must be within a table structure.

• Current date: a non-editable textbox and should be in the format as shown (e.g. 12 October 2020 Monday 05:35 PM)

• Number of weeks till end of the year: a label showing the total number of weeks from now till 31st Dec 2020. (e.g. 17 days is 2 weeks and 3 days)

Please read the Management in Action case “Norwegian Air Shuttle Aspires to Become the Cheapest Global Airline” at the end of Chapter 4 “Global Management” available in your textbook Management: A Practical Approach 7^th edition by Kinicki, A., & Williams, B., and answer the following questions:

Assignment Question(s):

1. What are the biggest challenges Norwegian experienced in trying to expand its airline across the globe?
2. To what extent did you observe examples of ethnocentric, polycentric, or geocentric attitudes in this case? Provide examples to support your conclusions.

3. Use Table 4.4 (Given below) to identify cultural differences that are likely to arise between Norwegian employees working in Denmark and Sweden and Thailand. How might these differences affect interpersonal interactions, and what can the company do to reduce any unintended conflict from these differences?

4. What are the most important lessons to be learned about global management from this case? Discuss

Consider a simple economy that produces two goods: apples and envelopes. The following table shows the prices and quantities of the goods over a three-year period.

Use the information from the preceding table to fill in the following table.

From 2019 to 2020, nominal GDP   , and real GDP .

The inflation rate in 2020 was .

Why is real GDP a more accurate measure of an economy's production than nominal GDP?

Real GDP measures the value of the goods and services an economy produces, but nominal GDP measures the value of the goods and services an economy consumes.

Real GDP is not influenced by price changes, but nominal GDP is.

Real GDP does not include the value of intermediate goods and services, but nominal GDP does.
