Moto Win Auto Superstore is thinking about offering a two-year limited warranty for $978 on all new cars of a certain model. The terms of the warranty would be that Moto Win would replace the car free of charge under certain, specified conditions. Replacing the car in this way would cost MotoWin $16,300. Suppose that under the warranty, there is a 6% chance that Moto Win would have to replace the car one time and a 94% chance they wouldn't have to replace the car. If MotoWin knows that it will sell many of these warranties, should it expect to make or lose money from offering them? How much?

Total marketing effort is a term used to describe the critical decision factors that affect demand: price, advertising, distribution, and product quality. define the variable x to represent total marketing effort. a typical model that is used to predict demand as a function of total marketing effort is based on the power function: d = axb suppose that a is a positive number. different model forms result from varying the constant b. sketch the graphs of this model for b = 0, b = 1, 0< b< 1, b< 0, and b> 1. (we encourage you to use excel to do this.) what does each model tell you about the relationship between demand and marketing effort? what assumptions are implied? are they reasonable? how would you go about selecting the appropriate model?
