  1. Bosch is about to launch three new windshield wiper blades to the market: Envision, Icon, and Micro. Bosch expects to sell the wiper blades in the ratio 2:5:9 respectively. The prices of the blades will be $30, $23, and $13, and have variable costs of $7, $5, and $4, respectively. They plan to spend $2M in design, $4M in equipment and $50M to promote the new blades to acquire 20 million customers.
    1. Calculate the breakeven quantities for each wiper model. [3]
    2. Assume the replacement cycle for wiper blades is roughly a year, and the probability that these customers repurchase from Bosch the following year is 74%, 84%, 78% respectively, and the discount rate is 6% annually. Calculate the CLV for customers in each segment. (Hint: M = total contribution from part a. AC = FC/total number of customers) (Note: Just use the same AC for each segment) [6]
    3. Suppose the company is considering mailing out a $3 birthday coupon to encourage loyalty. What is the minimum retention rate for each segment required to maintain the same CLV found in part b (hint: rearrange the following formula in terms of r. M = total contribution from part a). [3]
    4. If the company is considering spending $40M next year targeted to an audience of 3 million customers, what would be the breakeven acquisition rate for each segment to justify spending $40M. (hint: calculate acquisition spending per customer and divide by CLVs from part b). [3]

10.What is the main advantage of automatic stabilizers over discretionary fiscal policy?

11. Explain how automatic stabilizers work.

12. What would happen if expansionary fiscal policy was implemented in a recession but, due to lag, did not actually take effect until after the economy was back to potential GDP?

13. What would happen if contractionary fiscal policy were implemented during an economic boom but, due to lag, it did not take effect until the economy slipped into recession?

14. Why are sales taxes regressive?

15. Why would the tax incidence mostly fall on smokers if the taxes on cigarettes went up?

From 104 of its restaurants, Noodles & Company managers collected data on per-person sales and the percent of sales due to "potstickers" (a popular food item). Both numerical variables failed tests for normality, so they tried a chi-square test. Each variable was converted into ordinal categories (low, medium, high) using cutoff points that produced roughly equal group sizes. At α = .10, is per-person spending independent of percent of sales from potstickers?
