Sales and Dealership Size as a Predictor of a Store’s Profit
Abstract
This study aims to know if a dealership’s size and sales could affect the owner’s profit. The statistical analysis that was used is multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that a dealership’s size can explain 94.46% of the owner’s profit. On the other hand, the sales in both Sedans and SUV’s can explain 79.26% of the owner’s profit. Other than that, the analysis also showed that the increase in dealership size by a thousand sq. ft can also increase the profit by 11 940. For the sales, an increase in Sedan sales by one could increase the profit by 2 320 and an increase in SUV sales by one could increase the profit by 4 790. All of the coefficients and the regression models are proven significant and reliable by using multiple hypothesis testing. By using these results, a person aspiring to be a retailer owner would know what to increase so that his/her profits would increase too.
SALES AND DEALERSHIP SIZE AS A PREDICTOR OF A STORE’S PROFIT
Establishing a store is easy because all that is needed is an initial investment and good management skills. The challenging task to do is making that store successful. There are many factors that could affect a store’s monthly profit. The mere design of a retailer, including color and interior design, can increase the owner’s profit. One measurable factor that could affect revenue is the owner’s initial investment. If the owner is willing to risk a lot, then the possible income would be more than that. In the end, knowing how much one factor can affect a store’s profit is a desirable trait. It can be achieved easily by using regression analysis in Microsoft Excel or SPSS. Getting the data is easy but interpreting the data can be difficult.
METHODOLOGY
Linear regression and multiple linear regression analysis are both thorough methods of determining correlation and determination. This is the statistical analysis used. By using Microsoft Excel’s Analyst Tool Pack, summary outputs of regression statistics and ANOVA was able to be gathered. The summary outputs are attached in the appendices. From those analyses, the equations for the predicted value of profit based on the independent variables were created. Other than the equations, their characteristics are also present, such as the standard error, t-stat, p-value, and F value. Standard error of a statistic is the standard deviation of the data, which uses sampling distribution (Everett). In regression, it is the standard error of the regression coefficient. P-value is the probability value for a given statistical data is the same or greater than the number of the observed (Wasserstein and Lazar). F value is used to compare the data that has been fitted to another data set to check if the sample can represent the population (Lomax). Lastly, the t-statistic is the proportion of how far the value of a restriction is from a computed value to its stan ...
The document analyzes the future performance of PRAN AMCL LTD using a linear regression model. It finds that:
1) The regression equation indicates profit is influenced by various variables like sales, salary, advertisement etc.
2) There is a very high positive relationship (R=0.813) among the variables but the relationship is not statistically significant.
3) Sales has the most influence on profit but the relationship is also not statistically significant.
4) Analysis of historical profit data from 1999-2013 finds the company has a average annual growth rate of 3.49% and acceleration rate of 3.76%, suggesting future performance will be promising if this trend continues.

This document discusses methods for estimating key inputs used to calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for a company. It evaluates different approaches to estimating beta, the risk-free rate, and equity market risk premium based on regression analysis of stock return data. For the company in question, CSR, it selects a beta of 1.15 based on 3 years of weekly return data. The risk-free rate is taken as the 10-year government bond yield of 3.37% geometrically averaged over 4 years. The equity risk premium is estimated to be 8.88% based on the accumulation index return over the same period. This yields an estimated cost of equity of 13.58% and overall WACC cannot be
This document analyzes quantitative data using various statistical techniques to examine fixed deposit rates in different areas over a 10-year period. It uses a two-sample t-test to determine if demand differs across metropolitan, city and town areas. Multiple linear regression is employed to understand the relationship between total personal wealth and factors like average deposit rates, interest rates, and government bond rates. Seasonal forecasting techniques predict that quarter 4 sees the highest demand on average for all three areas. The analysis aims to provide insights to help the Ministry of Finance forecast deposit rates and understand demand trends.

The document describes two linear regression models created to analyze sales and profit before tax data for Abhinav Technologies over 20 years.
The first model for predicting sales had an R^2 of 0.996, indicating the model explained 99.6% of the variability in sales based on material, other incomes, personnel, and interest payments. Only interest payments were not a statistically significant predictor.
The second model for predicting profit before tax had an R^2 of 0.934, showing the model explained 93.4% of the variability in profit based on the same predictor variables. Material and interest payments were not statistically significant for this model.
The document analyzes data on annual return on investment (ROI) for two college majors: business and engineering. Regression analyses were conducted for each major and found a negative linear relationship between cost and annual ROI. The analyses indicated that over 90% of the variation in annual ROI could be explained by cost for both majors. Confidence intervals and hypothesis tests were also reported.

It then outlines the steps in decision making, which include listing alternatives and uncertain events, determining payoffs, and adopting evaluation criteria. Several decision making criteria are introduced, including maximax, maximin, expected monetary value, expected opportunity loss, value of perfect information, and return-to-risk ratio. Payoff tables and decision trees are presented as methods for displaying decision problems. The chapter concludes by discussing how sample information can be used to revise old probabilities when making decisions.
This document provides an overview of time-series forecasting and index numbers. It discusses different time-series forecasting models including moving averages, exponential smoothing, linear trend, quadratic trend, and exponential trend models. It also covers identifying trend, seasonal, and irregular components in a time series. Smoothing methods like moving averages and exponential smoothing are presented as ways to identify trends in data. The document concludes by discussing linear, nonlinear, and exponential trend forecasting models for generating forecasts from time-series data.
This chapter discusses chi-square tests and nonparametric tests. It covers chi-square tests for contingency tables to test differences between two or more proportions, including computing expected frequencies. The Marascuilo procedure is introduced for determining pairwise differences when proportions are found to be unequal. Chi-square tests of independence are discussed for contingency tables with more than two variables to test if the variables are independent. Nonparametric tests are also introduced. Examples are provided to demonstrate chi-square goodness of fit tests and tests of independence.
This chapter discusses sampling and sampling distributions. It defines key sampling concepts like the sampling frame, population, and different sampling methods including probability and non-probability samples. Probability sampling methods include simple random sampling, systematic sampling, stratified sampling, and cluster sampling. The chapter also covers sampling distributions and how the distribution of sample means approaches a normal distribution as the sample size increases due to the Central Limit Theorem, even if the population is not normally distributed. This allows inferring properties of the population from a sample.
This chapter discusses important discrete probability distributions used in business statistics. It introduces discrete random variables and their probability distributions. It defines the binomial distribution and explains how to calculate probabilities using the binomial formula. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating the mean, variance, and covariance of discrete random variables, as well as the expected value and risk of investment portfolios. Counting techniques like combinations are also discussed for calculating binomial probabilities.
This document provides an overview of basic probability concepts covered in Chapter 4 of Basic Business Statistics, 11th Edition.

The chapter also covers different types of variables, levels of measurement, and considerations for properly using statistical software programs.
The document discusses the economic theory of consumer choice. It addresses how consumers make decisions based on their preferences between goods, income constraints, and prices. The key points covered are:
1) Consumer preferences are represented by indifference curves, which show combinations of goods that make the consumer equally satisfied.
2) The budget constraint depicts the combinations of goods a consumer can afford based on income and prices.
3) Consumers seek to maximize satisfaction by choosing the highest indifference curve possible, given their budget constraint. The optimal choice occurs where the indifference curve is tangent to the budget constraint.
This document discusses income inequality and poverty. It provides data on the distribution of income in the United States from 1998 to 1935, showing that income inequality has increased in recent decades. Factors that have contributed to rising inequality include increases in international trade, changes in technology, and the falling wages of unskilled workers relative to skilled workers. The document also examines poverty rates in the US and issues with measuring inequality, such as accounting for in-kind transfers, economic life cycles, and transitory versus permanent income. It concludes by discussing different political philosophies around redistributing income.
1) Workers earn different wages due to factors like human capital, job attributes, ability, and discrimination. More education leads to higher wages.
2) While competitive markets reduce discrimination, it can persist due to customer preferences or government policies that support discriminatory practices.
3) There is debate around the doctrine of "comparable worth" and whether jobs of equal value or importance should receive equal pay.
This document summarizes key concepts about labor markets from an economics textbook. It discusses factors of production and how the demand for labor is derived from the demand for output. It then explains how firms determine the optimal quantity of labor to hire by equating the marginal product of labor to the wage according to the principle of profit maximization. Labor supply and demand determine the equilibrium wage in competitive markets. The document also briefly discusses land, capital, and productivity.
This document summarizes key aspects of monopolistic competition. It describes monopolistic competition as having many firms selling differentiated but similar products, with free entry and exit in the long run. In the short run, monopolistically competitive firms profit maximize at a quantity where price exceeds average total cost. In the long run, these firms operate at a loss and produce at a quantity where price equals average total cost, resulting in excess capacity compared to perfect competition. The document also discusses how advertising and brand names contribute to product differentiation in monopolistic competition.
This document discusses oligopolies and imperfect competition. It provides examples and explanations of oligopolies, including characteristics such as having few sellers offering similar products. Game theory is discussed as a way to understand strategic decision making in oligopolies. The prisoners' dilemma is used as an example to illustrate the challenges of cooperation among oligopolists and how their individual interests may not lead to the optimal outcome.
