Sales promotions can involve selling a product at a relatively low price or selling the product with a free (or seemingly free) unit of the product, as in "buy one, get one free" campaigns. Research shows that immediately following month-long sales promotions, a postpromotion dip may occur, i.e., sales for the following calendar month may be less than sales for the calendar month preceding the sales promotion.
To increase sales, Storex, a department store, held month-long sales campaigns to promote four of its products. A sales promotion was considered successful if unit sales of the product were at least 10% higher in each of the 2 calendar months immediately following the promotion than In the month preceding it.
Experts have offered explanations for postpromotion dip:
• Explanation I: Many consumers stockpile the product at relatively low cost during the sales promotion.
• Explanation II: "Buy one, get one free" promotions cause some consumers to undervalue the product, making them less likely to buy it following the sales promotion.
• Explanation HI: Many consumers who missed a "buy one, get one free" opportunity may, as a result, develop so-called inaction inertia, i.e., become less likely to buy the product at either the regular or even at a discount price than if the sales promotion had not occurred.
For each of the following actions, select Yes if it is mentioned in at least two of the tabs. Otherwise, select No.
A motorist passing through an unfamiliar city needs to fill her car's fuel tank soon, well before she leaves the city, and needs to minimize her expenses. Nearby is the King Petrol station, offering the correct fuel for 2.OX) euros per liter. She has seen about one petrol station every 2 kilometers (km) of driving, on average, though distances vary. Prices at different petrol stations appear to vary randomly by up to 10%: roughly 2 km behind her in her journey she saw the correct fuel for 1.81 euros per liter. The fuel efficiency of her car under the current driving conditions is about 10 liters per 100 km. She could get a small amount of fuel at one station to allow her to drive to another station within the city.
On the basis of the information in the passage, select for Reason to stop the factor that most clearly provides a logical reason for the motorist to stop at the King Petrol station. And select for Reason not to stop the factor that most clearly provides a logical reason for the motorist not to stop at the King Petrol station. Make only two selections, one in each column.
The color red has been shown to induce greater aggression in people than the
color blue. Researchers conducted a study to determine whether such colorinduced aggression could influence the amount that consumers were willing to
pay for an identical product in online auction and online negotiation scenarios.
The researchers photographed a single item against each of four background
colors: blue, gray, white, and red. Using a computer, each participant in the study
viewed the item against exactly one of the four background colors. Half of the
participants were told the item was up for auction and were asked to submit their
highest bid for the item. The other half of the participants were told to negotiate
a price with the seller and were asked to offer the highest amount that they
would be willing to pay for the item.
The researchers expected that participants who viewed the red background
would typically behave more aggressively than those who viewed the blue
background. Among the auction group, the researchers hypothesized that more
aggressive participants would submit higher bids as they tried to beat other
potential bidders. Among the negotiation group, the researchers hypothesized
that more aggressive participants would make lower offers as they tried to
compete against the seller to get the best deal.
Assuming the researchers’ hypothesized link between offers and aggression is
correct, for each of the following background colors select More aggressive if, on
average, participants in the negotiation group in the study behaved more
aggressively when the product was displayed with that background color than the
participants did when the product was displayed with a gray background.
Otherwise, select Not more aggressive.
Journal
The editor of Metathesis, a new academic journal of literature, manages the peer-review of articles submitted for publication. The journal accepts articles focusing on any of three general subject areas: comparative literature, modernist literature, and postcolonial literature.
When an article is submitted, the editor has the article peer-reviewed by exactly three experts, none of whom authored or coauthored the article. The table (see the Reviewers/Authors tab) consists of all the authors or coauthors who have recently submitted articles and all the experts who currently peer-review or have recently peer-reviewed those articles. It also lists the general subject areas for each of the authors and reviewers.
Each author of each submitted article specializes in the general subject area of the article. Moreover, each recently submitted article was peer-reviewed by experts listed in the table.
Review Rules
Suppose that Farkas and Kenyatta were both selected as reviewers for a certain recently submitted article. For each of the following statements, select YesM the statement must be true, based on this supposition and the Information provided. Otherwise, select No.
The graph summarizes data on a sample of 100 automobiles requiring warranty service within one year of purchase. Each automobile required service in exactly one of seven categories. For each category, the frequency\& the number of automobiles in the sample requiring service in that category; the cumulative frequency\s the total number of automobiles in (he sample requiring service in that category or in any of the categories to the left in the graph. In the graph, the frequency scale is on the left and the cumulative frequency scale is on the right.
From each drop-down menu, select the option that creates the most accurate statement based on the information provided.
For a town seeking to desalinate source water with a salinity of 12,000 mg/L. select Consistent for each of the following statements that is consistent with the information and recommendations provided, and otherwise select Not consistent.
West River Glen is deciding which network architecture should replace its old copper telephone lines. The town will replace 300 miles of Outside Plant (OSP) cable that will serve approximately 2,500 homes.
The first option is to install a Fiber to the Home (FTTH) system architecture that uses fiber-optic cable to transmit signals from the source to each home. The advantages of this architecture include greater bandwidth capabilities, less signal loss, and slightly lower new-cable deployment costs than the second option. Hybrid Fiber-Coax (HFC).
An HFC network integrates fiber-optic cables and devices with coaxial cables.
This will cost the town substantially less money for internal equipment and for customer installations. However, the coaxial cable does not last as long as fiberoptic cable and will thus need to be replaced more frequently, resulting in higher long-term maintenance expenses.
The town believes that either the FTTH or HFC architectures will be capable of serving the communities' data and television needs for the next 30 years.
According to the information provided, which of the following attributes is an advantage of HFC network architecture as compared with FTTH architecture?
A scientist collected eight samples (Samples 1-8) from various surfaces in a laboratory to test for the presence of defferent types of bacteria For each of the samples, the graph shows the relative abundance of each of three types of bacteria (Bacteria X, Y, and Z) detected in the sample, as a percentage of all Bacteria X, Y, and Z detected In the sample.
Select the options from each drop-down menu that create the most accurate statement based on the information provided.
Researchers studying long-term changes In regional mouse populations have found that by focusing on the populations of a rare but widespread and easily identifiable species of mouse (Species X), they can make fairly accurate estimations about the total regional mouse populations.
In a report on a recent study that Included the data tables that follow, the researchers provided some addenda:
1. The Species X population of Region CV increased by 123,995 between 1990 and 2005.
2. In contrast, the Species X population of Region EW declined by about 52% during that same time.
For each of the following regions, select Ye$\i the region's Species X population decreased from 1960 to 1975 AND the region's total mouse population exceeded 50 million In 1975. Otherwise, select No.
Acme Software plans to release a partial version of its X software, which will be the same as the full version except that some features will be disabled and K wM cost half as much. Company executives believe marketing both products at once will substantially increase profits. They think some customers who would not have bought the full version will buy the partial version. Profits from seeing to those customers, they believe, will exceed the money lost by selling the partial version to customers who would have paid more for the full version if it were the only one avalabie.
Which of the following would, if true, provide the strongest reason to doubt that Acme Software's plan will result in higher profits?
Paleontologist: Scientists have used evidence about bone structure to infer that carnivorous dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex had genomes-sets of genetic information in their DNA— much smaller than those of most modern mammals. Modern birds have genomes about the same size as those of these dinosaurs, from which they evolved. Therefore the hypothesis that small genomes in birds were an evolutionary adaptation functioning to conserve energy for flight is probably false.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the paleontologist's argument?
Which of the following most logically completes the passage below?
Mayor: Commuters working in Ornville must cross either North Bridge or South Bridge. During impending repair work at the North Bridge toll plaza, North Bridge will remain
open to traffic, but the usual 25 cent toll will not be collected. So as not to lose toll revenue overall, the city plans to temporarily raise the toll on South Bridge by 20 cents.
The plan is likely to accomplish its objective, since more commuters currently use South Bridge, and ________.
Many companies today are making new product development a central element of their competitive strategy. Because the potential benefits of successful product innovation are great—prolonged growth, superior financial returns, and strong investor interest-many companies offer employees incentives such as promotions and bonuses for developing new products, incentives not offered for innovations in other areas of the business, firms' priorities can also be shaped by their measurement systems, since these systems can directly measure returns from new products more immediately than they can measure returns from investments in such areas as organizational restructuring or innovations in marketing.
But the organizational culture of such companies can hurt them in the marketplace because a narrow focus on product development can ultimately detract from a firm's performance. For instance, a company's ability to profit from new products can be severely hampered if it has neglected other functions and business processes. If a company develops a superior new product but is unable to distribute and promote t rapidly, competitors with better distribution systems may copy the product and introduce It into the market before the innovator can profit from its innovation. In contrast, effective distribution, marketing, and accounting systems-that is, strong overall business systems -can act as entry barriers, deterring would-be competitors from entering a particular
The passage suggests which of the following about companies' investment in the development of new products?
According to the passage, the majority of the pairings observed in Sommer's study exhibited postconflict affinity under what conditions?
A study examining ninety large cities found that in those with more kilometers of bicycle paths and roadway bicycle lanes per capita, higher percentages of the population commute to work by bicycle. For this reason the study concluded that adding bicycle paths and lanes is an effective way to encourage commuters to bicycle rather than drive.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the reasoning in the study'
Daniel: Historically, railroads substantially altered the course of the United States economy, enabling the country to enjoy unprecedented growth in the nineteenth century.
Robert: It's true that growth required cheap inland transportation, which railroads provided. But with government support similar to the massive land grants that subsidized rapid railroad expansion, canals and roads could have had the same effect.
Which of the following is most likely a point that Robert believes is at issue between Daniel and himself?
Voters in Allatia can bypass the legislature and make law by voting directly on initiatives via referenda. Business lobbying groups have spent large sums of money in Allatia on advertising campaigns intended to influence the outcome of business-related referenda, but no initiative that received large financial support from these groups has ever become law via referendum. Nonetheless, most business lobbying groups have decided to continue spending money on advertising designed to sway voters in referenda.
Which of the following, if true, would provide the strongest justification for the business groups' decision?
The primary purpose of the passage is to
