The owner of a restaurant in Bloomington, Indiana, has recorded sales data for the past 19 years. He has also recorded data on potentially relevant variables. The data are listed in the file P13_17.xlsx. a. Estimate a simple regression equation involving annual sales (the dependent variable) and the size of the population residing within 10 miles of the restaurant (the explanatory variable). Interpret R-square for this regression. b. Add another explanatory variableannual advertising expendituresto the regression equation in part a. Estimate and interpret this expanded equation. How does the R-square value for this multiple regression equation compare to that of the simple regression equation estimated in part a? Explain any difference between the two R-square values. How can you use the adjusted R-squares for a comparison of the two equations? c. Add one more explanatory variable to the multiple regression equation estimated in part b. In particular, estimate and interpret the coefficients of a multiple regression equation that includes the previous years advertising expenditure. How does the inclusion of this third explanatory variable affect the R-square, compared to the corresponding values for the equation of part b? Explain any changes in this value. What does the adjusted R-square for the new equation tell you?
The Baker Company wants to develop a budget to predict how overhead costs vary with activity levels. Management is trying to decide whether direct labor hours (DLH) or units produced is the better measure of activity for the firm. Monthly data for the preceding 24 months appear in the file P13_40.xlsx. Use regression analysis to determine which measure, DLH or Units (or both), should be used for the budget. How would the regression equation be used to obtain the budget for the firms overhead costs?
Stock market analysts are continually looking for reliable predictors of stock prices. Consider the problem of modeling the price per share of electric utility stocks (Y). Two variables thought to influence this stock price are return on average equity (X1) and annual dividend rate (X2). The stock price, returns on equity, and dividend rates on a randomly selected day for 16 electric utility stocks are provided in the file P13_15.xlsx. Estimate a multiple regression equation using the given data. Interpret each of the estimated regression coefficients. Also, interpret the standard error of estimate and the R-square value for these data.
In light of the fact that research always contains the possibility of error, we have to be careful not to present research results as causal relationships when they are only correlations. And yet, sometimes correlation is used. For example, in car insurance, male drivers are correlated with more accidents, so insurance companies charge them more. It would be impossible to actually test this for causation. Given the above, how do we balance this possibility of error with the need to have statistical results to inform our business decisions?

A plant manager wants to know how much he should be willing to pay for perfect market research. Currently there are two states of nature facing his decision to expand or do nothing. Under favorable market conditions, the manager would make $100,000 for the large plant and $5,000 for the small plant. Under unfavorable market conditions, the large plant would lose $50,000 and the small plant would make $0. If the two states of nature are equally likely, how much should he pay for perfect information? a. $0 b. $50,000 c. $100,000 d. $25,000

The article "New Product Blockbusters: The Magic and Science of Prediction Markets", discusses the importance of new product development in firms and the challenges associated with predicting the success of new products. The authors propose a novel approach to screening new product ideas and predicting their demand using prediction markets. According to the authors, research suggests new product introductions increase a firm's long-term financial performance and market value. The article discusses the challenges associated with predicting the success of new products. Only one out of every five new product launches are successful, and firms often fail to capitalize on the success of new product blockbusters because of poor demand forecasts. There are two common approaches to predicting new product demand: surveying target customers about their purchase intentions and pooling experts' opinions. However, there are limitations of these approaches and propose a novel approach using…
