The BBVA Compass case discusses a scenario where the display campaigns attributed to conversions to some extent for the search campaigns. The unadjusted cost per application (CPA) for a display network Datran is $238. The conversion rate for search with display ads on Datran is 3.31%. The conversion rate for search without display ads is 1.26%. The unadjusted search CPA is $73. Calculate the adjusted search CPA without Datran. Also, estimate the adjusted CPA for Datran.
You are a new salesperson at a large software manufacturing firm. It is three weeks from the end of the sales quarter and you and your sales manager have both already met your sales quotas for the quarter. In addition, you just closed another deal with a new customer for $100,000 worth of software and customer service. This order would put you way over your sales quota for the current quarter. Your manager suggests that you hold this new order so it gets recorded against next quarter. She explains that because sales during the next three months tend to slow down, salespeople frequently miss their quotas and associated sales bonuses for that quarter. Holding this large order to next quarter would help you get an excellent start and almost guarantee that you meet your quota. What would you do?

Deborah Kellogg buys Breathalyzer test sets for the Winter Park Police Department. The quality of the test sets from her two suppliers is indicated in the following table: For example, the probability of getting a batch of tests that are 1% defective from Winter Park Technology is .70. Because Kellogg orders 10,000 tests per order, this would mean that there is a .70 probability of getting 100 defective tests out of the 10,000 tests if Winter Park Technology is used to fill the order. A defective Breathalyzer test set can be repaired for $0.50. Although the quality of the test sets of the second supplier, Dayton Enterprises, is lower, it will sell an order of 10,000 test sets for $37 less than Winter Park. a) Develop a decision tree. b) Which supplier should Kellogg use?

Which of the following statements are correct? [Select multiple answers] Income gap ratio (IGR) is the total income needed to eliminate poverty relative to the available resources. Poverty gap ratio (PGR) is the total income needed to eliminate poverty divided by the total income in the economy. Total poverty gap (TPG) provides a comprehensive picture of poverty including the severity of poverty since it tells us the total money that is needed to bring everyone to the poverty line. The Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) measures with values of alpha = {0,1,2} provide a comprehensive picture of poverty.

This is the Littlefield Simulation. Please help me use the following analysis methods. Background Littlefield Technologies (LT) has developed another DSS product. This new model is manufactured using the same process as your previous assignment “Capacity Management at Littlefield Technologies” — neither the process sequence nor process time distributions have changed. Daily customer demand continues to be random, but this time there is no trend. Expected demand remains stable during the entire product life span. Marketing knows demand will end abruptly on Day 268 when a new model is released. LT will again: cease production, retool, and dispose of the obsolete inventory. Marketing discovered that customers would pay higher prices for shorter lead time contracts. LT has been reluctant to quote shorter lead times because current averages have been running longer than they would like. They are wondering if you might be able to shorten lead times and increase marginal revenues.…
