Answer: (C) Perceptual mapping

Explanation:

The perceptual mapping is one of the type of technique that is used by the marketers for visually displaying the different types of perceptions of the consumers and the users.

It is also known as the market mapping technique that is used for the developing the various types of brands and the products in the market for based on the customer perspective.  

According to the given question, the Apex corp. is using the perpetual mapping technique for determining the different types of product attribute in the market.  

 Therefore, Option (C) is correct answer.

KiRa [710]

Explanation:

A manufacturer of computer memory chips produces chips in lots of 1000. If nothing has gone wrong in the manufacturing process, at most 7 chips each lot would be defective, but if something does go wrong, there could be far more defective chips. If something goes wrong with a given lot, they discard the entire lot. It would be prohibitively expensive to test every chip in every lot, so they want to make the decision of whether or not to discard a given lot on the basis of the number of defective chips in a simple random sample. They decide they can afford to test 100 chips from each lot. You are hired as their statistician.

There is a tradeoff between the cost of eroneously discarding a good lot, and the cost of warranty claims if a bad lot is sold. The next few problems refer to this scenario.

Problem 8. (Continues previous problem.) A type I error occurs if (Q12)

Problem 9. (Continues previous problem.) A type II error occurs if (Q13)

Problem 10. (Continues previous problem.) Under the null hypothesis, the number of defective chips in a simple random sample of size 100 has a (Q14) distribution, with parameters (Q15)

Problem 11. (Continues previous problem.) To have a chance of at most 2% of discarding a lot given that the lot is good, the test should reject if the number of defectives in the sample of size 100 is greater than or equal to (Q16)

Problem 12. (Continues previous problem.) In that case, the chance of rejecting the lot if it really has 50 defective chips is (Q17)

Problem 13. (Continues previous problem.) In the long run, the fraction of lots with 7 defectives that will get discarded erroneously by this test is (Q18)

Problem 14. (Continues previous problem.) The smallest number of defectives in the lot for which this test has at least a 98% chance of correctly detecting that the lot was bad is (Q19)

(Continues previous problem.) Suppose that whether or not a lot is good is random, that the long-run fraction of lots that are good is 95%, and that whether each lot is good is independent of whether any other lot or lots are good. Assume that the sample drawn from a lot is independent of whether the lot is good or bad. To simplify the problem even more, assume that good lots contain exactly 7 defective chips, and that bad lots contain exactly 50 defective chips.

Problem 15. (Continues previous problem.) The number of lots the manufacturer has to produce to get one good lot that is not rejected by the test has a (Q20) distribution, with parameters (Q21)

Problem 16. (Continues previous problem.) The expected number of lots the manufacturer must make to get one good lot that is not rejected by the test is (Q22)

Problem 17. (Continues previous problem.) With this test and this mix of good and bad lots, among the lots that pass the test, the long-run fraction of lots that are actually bad is (Q23)

Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon US Treasury note with four years to maturity has a coupon rate of 3%. The
xenn [34]

Answer:

$746,617.36

Explanation:

Using a financial calculator, input the following to calculate the price of the US Treasury note. I'm using Texas Instruments BA II Plus model;

Face value of the bond ; FV = 1,000,000

Semiannual coupon payment; PMT = Coupon rate * Face value ;

PMT= (3%/2) *1,000,000 = 15,000

Time to maturity of the note  ; N = 4*2 = 8

Semiannual interest rate;  I/Y = 11% /2 = 5.5%

then compute the Present value of bond or price; CPT PV = $746,617.36

The continuing cycle of erratic demand causing forecasts to include safety stock which in turn magnify supplier forecasts and ca
balandron [24]

Answer:

The Bullwhip Effect

Explanation:

Bullwhip effect is a phenomenon that occurs in an organisation's channel of distribution due to swings or erratic demands for products by customers. This erratic nature of demands will usually lead to forecasting inefficiencies especially in meeting the demands through the supply chain.

A sudden increase in demand could lead to production planning problems because there might not be enough inventory of materials on ground to meet the demand. Also, a sudden decrease in demand can bring the challenge of excess inventory of materials which may not be needed for production for a while.

One of the measures taken to manage this erratic nature of demands is to ensure that whatever the forecasts for demands is, safety stock must be included to the forecast level of demand so as to ensure that production planning is adequate and the demands are met as well.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Physics

Explanation:

Opportunity Cost

When an option is chosen from alternatives, the opportunity cost is the "cost" incurred by not enjoying the benefit associated with the best alternative choice.

Since Arshad is concerned about his mid-career salary, Physics has the highest mid-career salary among the options, therefore opportunity cost of choosing to major in communications would be Physics

The total cost​ (in dollars) of manufacturing x auto body frames is ​C(x)=60,000+400x. ​(A) Find the average cost per unit if 20
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

a) Average price per unit = 700

b) average marginal cost = -1.5 dollars/frame

c) For 201 frames are produced = $698.5

Explanation:

Given Data:

C(x) = 60000 + 400x

a) Average cost for 200 units:

Total Cost of 200 units will be:

C(200) = 60000 + 400(200)

C(200) = 140,000

Total Cost of 200 units = 140,000

Average price per unit = Total Cost / number of units

Average price per unit = 140,000/200

Average price per unit = 700

b) Marginal Average Cost:

We know that marginal cost = C^{'}(x)

And the average marginal cost = \frac{d}{dx} \frac{C(x)}{x}

So,

= the derivative of (\frac{60,000 + 400(x)}{x})

= the derivative of (\frac{(60,000)}{x} + 400)

= \frac{-60,000}{x^{2} } + 0

So,

average marginal cost = \frac{-60,000}{x^{2} }

at x = 200 units

average marginal cost = \frac{-60,000}{200^{2} }

average marginal cost = -1.5 dollars/frame

c) Average cost per frame if 201 frames are produced:

We already seen in the part b that, the average marginal cost is decreasing by 1.5 dollars /frame. So,

if 201 frames are produced the instead of 200 then the difference is of 1 frame and we discussed that average marginal cost of 1 frame is decreasing at 1.5 dollars per frame.

So,

As we know the average cost from part a = 700 dollars.

Therefore, for 201 item = 700 dollars -1.5 dollars

For 201 frames are produced = $698.5
