Question

Consider the non-linear model: 

 

sales = a + b * exp (c * advertising_spend). 

 

Where a represents baseline sales, b is a scaling factor, and c is the growth rate of sales in response to advertising spend. If c = 0.03, by how much would sales increase on average for a $10,000 increase in advertising spend from an initial spend of $50,000?

Additionally, consider if diminishing returns begin to take effect. 

  

What is the percentage increase in sales for the $10,000 increase from $50,000 to $60,000?
