Size of a firm matters for implementation of supply chain management practices. It implies that larger firms very frequently implement supply chain and use advanced technologies to integrate supply chain partners. A study has reported part of the relationship between types of firm (Private and Public) and supply chain management implementation and between size of a firm (small to large, in terms of number of employees) and supply chain management implementation in International Journal of Business Modelling and Supply Chain Management (Vol. 5, 2013). The following table shows number of different sized private and public firms participated in this study

A researcher, after performing cost analysis finds that the greater expenditure incurred by using organic farming techniques including organic pesticides is justified if it yields an average of at least 50 kg more soybean per hectare than the yield using regular farming technique using chemicals. In a pilot study, the performances of plots with soybean using organic and inorganic farming techniques are examined, with data as follows. Do these data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that fields with organic farming yield more to justify extra cost? Take α = 0.01 [Hint: Use one tailed t test assuming equal population variances]Organic farmingYield /haRegular farmingYield /han1 = 10 n2 = 81x= 9952x= 958s1 = 38 kg s2 = 25 kg

The manager thinks that the demand of Coke may be related to its price, the national advertisement expenditure level of Coke, and the price of the 16 oz 24-can case Pepsi Cola. Based on a sample of 20 weeks of data of quantity sold (in cases) for the Coke Cola, price of Coke Cola (in dollars), Coke's advertisement expenditure (in million dollars), and the price of Pepsi Cola (in dollars), a multiple linear regression analysis was performed in Excel.

- A manufacturing firm, Caleb Corp, produces and sells product in its home (US) market, and in a foreign market. There is inherent risk in the revenues collected from the foreign market due to volatility in the exchange rate. Under a benchmark strategy, all of the production takes place in the home country. The resulting expected profits for Caleb Corp are variable, due to variation in the exchange rate. As an approximation, the firm has estimated profits for five possible ranges of the exchange rate, with profit represented as a lottery, L= (.2, 150; .2, 200; .3, 220; .2,250; .1, 270) The probabilities are estimated probabilities for the different ranges. The outcomes in this lottery are the estimated final profit levels (not changes in profit).

He has data on the price charged and the number of cars available on the road for rent, (Car), for the 200 cities in the U.S. in which the provider operates. However, given that there is simultaneous causality between Price and Car due to the interactions between demand and supply, the supply function cannot be estimated consistently by an OLS regression of Car on Price. He, therefore, uses Income (measured by the per capita GDP of a given city in the U.S. for 2017) as an instrument which satisfies the two conditions of instrument validity. He uses the two stage least squares (TSLS) estimator of the coefficient on Price which enables him to estimate the supply function. Suppose, the sample covariance between Car and Income, SCar, Income is 1.45, and the sample…arrow_forward
- A shoe wholesaler wants to optimize its shipment of shoes to its client retailers. To minimize their turnover time and avoid building up stocks that add costs, the wholesaler wants to know if weather conditions are important in determining the type of shoe demanded. Specifically, she / he would like to know if high temperatures affect the sale of closed, rubber-heeled walking shoes. He / she has the relevant data showing the temperature recorded at the location of its retail shops, as well as their record of sales of these walking shoes, during each day of the past year. What type of analysis should he / she conduct? What variables should be considered?

- Assume we have data demonstrating a strong linear link between the amount of fertilizer applied to certain plants and their yield. Which is the independent variable in this research question?arrow_forwardDue to the increasing number of customers, MTAKUJA commercial Bank located at the University of Dar es Salaam has been facing the problem of long customers' queues since the beginning of this year. The Branch manager decided to conduct a small study to determine the cause of this problem. The study concluded that most of its bank tellers were slow and less efficient. However, the study recommended that the long queues would decrease substantially if at least two of its three banks tellers are operating efficiently. Therefore, to solve this problem the bank came up with the new policy that each bank taller should process at least 25 customers per hour. The probability that the first, second and third bank tellers will fail to comply with the new policy is 0.12, 0.09 and 0.1 respectively. Assume that the three counters at MTAKUJA bank operate independent of each other, find the probability that the queues will decrease substantially.arrow_forward2. A shoe manufacturer is considering developing a new brand of running shoes. The business problem facing the marketing analyst is to determine which variables should be used to predict durability (i.e., the effect of long-term impact). Two independent variables un- der consideration are X 1 (FOREIMP), a measurement of the forefoot shock-absorbing capability, and X 2 (MIDSOLE), a measurement of the change in impact properties over time. The dependent variable Y is LTIMP, a measure of the shoe's durability after a repeated impact test. Data are collected from a random sample of 15 types of currently manufactured running shoes, with the following results: Standard Variable t Statistic p-Value Coefficients Error 0.06905 Intercept -0.02686 -0.39 0.7034 FOREIMP 0.79116 0.06295 12.57 0.0000 MIDSOLE 0.60484 0.07174 8.43 0.0000 A: state the multiple regression equation b. interpret the meaning of the slopes, b1 and b2 in this problem. c. what conclusions can you reach concerning durability?…arrow_forward
