Question: Please open “PERFORMANCE” data. Data is about a survey result of manager who is planning to make a research on influence of competence and motivation on employees’ performance. However; he suspects whether there is a multicollinearity or not in his regression model he is planning to construct and he requested your help. Please support him with implementing multi collinearity analysis and report your findings. Your report must contain scatter plot matrix, correlation matrix, and a regression output including the VIF values. (Please perform it on spss)

Risky Investor Group is opening an office in Portland, Oregon. Fixed monthly costs are office rent ($ 8500), depreciation on office furniture ($ 1600), utilities ($ 2 400), special telephone lines ($ 1200), a connection with an online brokerage service ($ 2500), and the salary of a financial planner ($ 18800). Variable costs include payments to the financial planner (9% of revenue), advertising (11 % of revenue), supplies and postage (4% of revenue), and usage fees for the telephone lines and computerized brokerage service (6 % of revenue).
1. Use the contribution margin ratio approach to compute Risky's break even revenue in dollars. If the average trade leads to $ 1250 in revenue for Risky how many trades must be made to break even?
2. Use the equation approach to compute the dollar revenues needed to earn a monthly target profit of $14,000.
3. Graph Risky's CVP relationships. Assume that an average trade leads to $1250 in revenue for Risky. Show the breakeven point, the sales revenue line, the fixed cost line, the total cost line, the operating loss area, the operating income area, and the sales in units (trades) and dollars when monthly operating income of $14000 is earned.
4. Suppose that the average revenue Risky earns increases to $2,500 per trade. Compute the new breakeven point in trades. How does this affect the breakeven point?
