Introduction

Planning is an important aspect of managing any business. Planning sometimes involves prediction of the future conditions. Forecasting sales is significant in profit planning among other strategic decisions. Several methods are used in forecasting sales. A business should apply the method that most accurately estimates the future sales. Excellent Consulting Group wants to identify the best method to forecast its sales for year two. A forecast has already been made using the regression analysis method. The technique involved developing an equation which gives the monthly sales figure as a function of the number of customers in each month. The ...

Abstract

Using the regression equation and given values of independent variables, we estimated the elasticity of each of them and ascertained that the product is highly elastic to price levels and therefore, the firm can consider to decrease the price levels in order to increase their market share. At the same time, cross elasticity and income elasticity were also significant in relation to the demand of the product, although advertisement expenditure has negligible impact on the product’s demand. Hence, own price, price of related goods and income of consumer are three major factors which the firm should incorporate while ...

The systems that can adapt in reaction to unanticipated external disturbances and events during their operation are called autonomous systems . These systems have capability of self-adaptation, self-configuration, self-monitoring, tuning, and other kinds of adjustment without requiring external control input . Autonomous systems are also referred to as self-managed systems due to their independence from external controls. These systems are built such that their components satisfy the design intent in the presence of small perturbations, external disturbances, noise, or other environmental changes. In realm of control systems theory, autonomous systems carry the similar concept mentioned above. Talking in terms of state ...

Benford's law also known as the first-digit law deals with the distribution of natural numbers in which it tends to major into their importance regarding significance. The law states that given any arrangement of natural numbers, the smallest number always seems to be the most significant while the largest number in the collection is always the least significant. Therefore, number 1 appears to be the most significant in any given combination of natural numbers 30% of the times. While on the other hand, number 9 appears only 5% of the times as the most significant number. The law states ...

Q. 1. A. To calculate nominal, real, and GDP deflator, the following equations were used. Nominal (NGDP = Quantity (year) X Price (year), while real GDP) can be expressed as (RGDP = Nominal / Deflator), and GDP deflator can be expressed as (GDPD = Nominal / Real GDP X 100%). Therefore; (See Table 1.) B. For multiple items, calculating CPI requires a weighed average of the commodity price. In this sense, the prices of listed items were calculated as (Average = Bread price +TV Sets + etc. / 5) for each year. After which, the CPI was calculated using the equation (CPI of Multi ...

Abstract

Decision-making under risk occurs when there is an uncertainty about the states of nature that can occur, but the probabilities of each of the states of nature occurring have already been determined. We can use these probabilities to determine additional strategies for decision-making. One such strategy is the Expected Monetary Value (EMV) approach for making an optimal decision. In the problem where the company had to decide on the right investment approach, the company had already done research to determine the various possible states of nature for each of the alternatives as well the probabilities of each of these ...

Abstract

This paper explores how research methodologies can be used to resolve organizational issues. Using Starbucks as the company of focus, this paper discusses the qualities of qualitative and quantitative research and how they can be used for investigation and analysis in an organizational setting. It is hypothesized, for instance, that the decline in Starbucks’ sales as well as the poor performance of some of its stores is due to poor customer service. The concept of customer service, however, is too abstract to measure directly. However, this hypothesis can be determined using qualitative research methods as opposed to the quantitative ...

Abstract

Decision-making can involve a single decision or multistage decisions. When the decision-maker has to make at least two decisions separated in time, such as a situation where a company must first decide if it makes sense to hire an expert to make an actual decision about an investment. As the decision-maker goes on making decisions, the uncertainty diminishes. The probabilities are determined in a reverse manner when compared to regular decision-tree used for decision-making. The resulting process is Baye’s rule or theorem. The company wants to find out if hiring an expert so that he or she can ...

Abstract

Linear Regression (LR) forecasts the value of a random variable (dependent variable) for a given value of an associated independent variable. The regression equation provides the formula for such a calculation. Simple Exponential Smoothing (SES) forecasts the bases its forecasts on a weighted average of past data, with more weight on the more recent periods. A smoothing factor helps in providing weight. It generally forecasts for the short-term. In the present case, we forecast the sales data for year-2 for ABC Furniture Company using both the methods. For SES, we use two smoothing factors α equal to 0.15 and 0.90 ...

It’s a principle that provides the basic and the essential part in the mathematics of sorting and even counting. This principle was introduced by Johann Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet in 1834. He called it the shelf principle or drawer principle. However, many people appreciate his insight and call it the Dirichlet drawer principle. The name pigeonhole was introduced in 1940 by Raphael Robinson. In the literal sense, pigeonholes refer to shelves or holes used to place pigeons. Thus, the principle roughly states that if one has a given number of boxes and a given number of items to ...

Question 1: Why is it necessary to use water that is both distilled and at room temperature when doing dilutions?

Answer: It is necessary to use distilled water for dilutions in order to avoid any reactions or alterations caused by the minerals, or any other impurities, present in water that is not distilled. The water should be at room temperature, in combination with being distilled, so that it does not support any side reactions that may be caused by the increased or decreased temperature. Question 2: Outline an experimental procedure (step by step) by which 25.00 mL of 1.00 M HCl can be made from a stock solution of 5.00 M HCl.

Discussion

The concept of the correlation coefficient is crystal clear to me. I have understood that the value of correlation coefficient ranges from -1 to 1. The relationship between the variables increases as the value moves away from zero. However, the movement in the negative direction indicates an increase in negative relationship and movement in the positive direction indicates increased positive relationship between the variables. In a case of negative correlation, an increase in the independent variable leads to decrease in the dependent variable. On the other hand, in positive correlation, an increase in independent variable leads to increase independent ...

Within a refrigeration system, the inside of the refrigerator is known as the cold-air reservoir, while the area surrounding the outside of the refrigerator is the hot-air reservoir. A refrigerator works by sucking the heat out of the cold-air reservoir and dumping it in the hot reservoir. The work to do this process is supplied by an electricity-powered compressor that is connected to a wall outlet. The efficiency of a refrigeration system can be estimated with a ratio known as the coefficient of performance, or COP. The COP is given by the benefit divided by the cost, or

How much a firm can grow

Sustainable Growth Rate: How much a firm can grow A company requires capital to finance the growth. This can be achieved by using internally generated funds, or by issuing new equity shares. But, it has been observed that companies show reluctance in issuing new equity to raise capital (Firer, 1995, p-57). Without recourse to new equity capital, there is a limit to the growth of the company. The company can grow without opting for external equity finance by altering its present financial structure.

Report on the relationship between assets and sales

Executive summary A company’s investment in foreign assets has a bearing on the amount of foreign sales it makes. The regression analysis indicates a positive association between the ratio of foreign sales to total sales and the ratio of foreign assets to total assets. This implies that transnational companies should invest more in foreign assets to improve their foreign sales. They should also consider other factors affecting foreign sales such as international marketing strategies including advertising expenditure, among others. Investment in foreign assets is not the only contributor to foreign sales as indicated by the model’s coefficient ...

The equation y = cx2 has been solved by “manual fitting” of the figures. However, this is not the appropriate way, since it is not universal, and it does not suit for all the problems. Instead, x and y values (x = -2, y = 6 and x = 2, y = 6) should be applied to the equation. For example, 6 = 22∙ c; 4 ∙ c = 6, subtracting by 4, c = 1.5. This method is universal and can be used for any other complicated case to find the equation. Then, the focus can be determined. If the algebraic method to find the parabola equation ...

This can be done by multiplying molar ratio with molar weights of the fuel and air. m(fuel) = 12*x + 2x*1 = 14x m(air) = 1.5x(16*2 + 3.76*14*2) = 1.5x*137.28 = 205.92x The gravimetric stoichiometric air/fuel ratio then is 205.92x:14x = 14.71:1 The dry exhaust gas analysis from an ...

Lab Experiment #4: Fundamentals of Electric Circuits

Goals The main objective of this laboratory practice is to gain understanding on the basic laws that describe electric circuits and their application.

Background and Theory

Ohm’s Law. According to Alexander and Sadiku (2013), “Ohm’s Law states that the voltage v across a resistor is directly proportional to the current i flowing through the resistor” (p. 31). The constant of proportionality is the element’s resistance, R, which depends on several factors that will not be analyzed in this report. The equation for Ohm’s Law is then: v=iR (where v: voltage, i: current and R: resistance). The units for ...

Abstract labor as the only substance of valuenot use value

In capitalism , the capitalist is concerned with the means of production .He purchases the labor power or the capacity of the labor to work. The capitalist doe not have knowledge or interest about the useful labor or the specific use values of the labor. He hired the worker only to produce the commodities that will be exchanged in the market. So ...

Introduction

The quarterback serves as the offensive head of a football team. He is responsible for setting up the plays in order for the team to gain yards. His plays can be seen in different ways such as passing or running (Strauss, n.d). Depending on the decision of the team during huddle, the quarterback must be the one to ensure the success of their plays. Unfortunately, not all the plays made by the quarterback are successful. There are several factors which contribute to the failure of the plays, such as failure of execution of the designated roles, being outsmarted by ...

Introduction

In the adsorption-membrane hybrid system for ethanol steam reforming: Thermodynamics analysis by Dang, Amornchai, Yaneeporn, and Suttichai, (2011, International Journal of Hydrogen Energy), the authors seek to explain how an adsorption-membrane hybrid system, which uses a carbon (IV) oxide as an adsorbent can be used to eliminate unwanted carbon (IV) oxide in the hydrogen separation process. The authors aimed at improving the ethanol steam reforming performance through comparison of thermodynamic analysis that comprised of adsorptive, as well as membrane reactor. Then the authors were able to find that membrane separation process for the hydrogen removal had a higher impact ...

Cellular respiration equation:

C6H12O6+6O2→6CO2+6H2O+38ATP. Glucose+Oxygen→Carbon dioxide+Water+38ATP.

Photosynthesis equation:

6CO2+6H2O+sunlight, nutrients→C6H12O6+6O2. Carbon dioxide+Water→Glucose+Oxygen. Respiration and photosynthesis are opposite processes. It means that products of cellular respiration are reactants of photosynthesis and vice versa: the products of photosynthesis are reactants for cellular respiration. It is known that plants are autotrophs. Thus, they have to realize cellular respiration because they need energy for their existence. Due to cellular respiration, they receive energy, which is used to make organic compounds (glucose) and oxygen during photosynthesis. From the other side, people are heterotrophs. They ...
