Before finalizing the design of a keyboard, an electronics company decided to conduct an experiment to see the effect of two design choices (backlight: red vs. blue; product weight: heavy vs. light) on customers' attitude towards the product (measured on a scale of 1 to 7). Run the appropriate statistical test and at .05 level identify whether these design choices have an effect on consumers' attitude towards the product. Identify if there is a significant interaction effect (at .05 level). |

Currently, Katie White (retail customers manager) and Jules De Martino (corporate customers manager) have their performance assessed based on how much profit/loss is made with their customers' loans and savings activities, but this has led to many disagreements. Based on figures from the previous year, the corporate customers' loans and savings activities have generated a profit of $124 million whereas the retail customers' loans and savings activities have generated a loss of $84 million. Jules is very happy with this outcome, but Katie argues Jules is lending money from her retail customers to his corporate customers.

Corporate Customers $ 1,925 $500 $154 $30

All Customers $2,000 $2,000 $ 160 $ 120

RRB board is discussing implementing fund transfer pricing (FTP) for addressing Katie’s concern about her customers funding Jules’ activities. However, Jules argues implementing an arbitrary FTP rate will make the retail and customer managers performance evaluation too subjective. There has been some discussion in RRB board regarding implementing a Balanced Scorecard (BSC).
Required
a) Based on the figures from the previous year, what would be the adjusted profit/loss with retail customers and corporate customers if RRB set an FTP rate of 8% and which manager would benefit from this decision and why? (FTP2, 10 marks)
