Q2. A bank developed a model for predicting the average checking and savings account balance as balance = -17,732 + 367 x age + 1,300 x years education + 0.116 * household wealth. a. Explain how to interpret the numbers in this model. b. Suppose that a customer is 32 years old, is a college graduate (so that years education = 16), and has a household wealth of $150,000. What is the predicted bank balance? Q3. The manager of a small firm is considering whether to produce a new product that would require leasing some special quipment at a cost of $20,000 per month. In addition to this leasing cost, a production cost of $10 would be incurred for each unit of the product produced. Each unit sold would generate $20 in revenue. Develop a mathematical expression for the monthly profit that would be generated by this product in terms of the number of units produced and sold per month. Then determine how large this number needs to be each month to make it profitable to produce the product Q4. A firm installs 1500 air conditioners which need to be serviced every six months. The firm can hire a team from its logistics department at a fixed cost of $6,000. Each unit will be serviced by the team at $15.00. The firm can also outsource this at a cost of $17.00 inclusive of all charges. a. For the given number of units, compute the total cost of servicing for both options. Which is a better decision? b.
