a) Imagine you want to open a restaurant in the Boston area. Your two alternative locations are downtown Boston, and downtown Quincy. You should develop a model to help you make a decision about the location.
b) What are the relevant parameters in this problem (e.g., tax rate, rent, demand)?
c) Estimate the value of each of the relevant parameters by searching over the internet (briefly describe how you estimated the value of each parameter).
d) Develop a model to calculate the expected net profit in each month in each of these two locations.
e) Use your model to recommend one of these locations.
f) Conduct sensitivity analysis on at least three important parameters by increasing and decreasing their value from their base value (remember to change the value of one parameter at a time).
g) What additional insights you can get from the sensitivity analysis?

3. Market Research Methods to Highlight the Factors which Influence Buyer Behaviour

Include:

– An evaluation of the different marketing research methods used for understanding the decision-making processes in both B2C and B2B contexts

– A coherent and justified evaluation of how different factors influence decision-making and buying behaviour, supported by specific examples from the fashion industry.

The grade awarded will contribute to your grade for this module and your overall level and course aggregate grade. The assessment criteria are clearly set out within the coursework brief and it is in your own interests to ensure that your work addresses the assessment criteria clearly and in an appropriate manner and logical sequence. If you are unsure or unclear about any aspect of what is required of you, you should contact the coursework author or module leader straight away.

Submission Instructions

  1. Your coursework must be submitted as an electronic copy in Microsoft Word format/ PDF
  2. The electronic ‘Microsoft Word’ PDF version of your coursework must be submitted to the Module Drop Box which is located in the module learning room on NOW; it should be uploaded no later than the coursework submission date given above. The coursework will automatically be assessed by the web-based text-match tool, Turnitin UK. Only one, final version of your work may be submitted to the Drop Box. Once submitted you cannot revise your submission; you have only one opportunity to submit. Failure to submit your work to the Drop box by the submission deadline will delay assessment of your work and may result in your work being deemed a late submission and thereby subject to late submission assessment penalty.

Presentation Requirements

  • The coursework must be typed; 12 point Arial font must be used throughout for the main body of the work.
  • Line spacing must be 1.5 lines.

  • The coursework must be presented ‘single side’ typed (not double sided).
  • The core pages of the submission must be paginated.
  • The coursework must not extend beyond the word limit specified above. Any work after this word limit has been reached will not be marked.  The word limit includes tables, figures and footnotes but excludes the bibliography and/or list of references unless specifically directed otherwise by the module leader.

Submission using Turnitin

Turnitin is an online system that checks documents for text matches against its database of papers, articles and web pages. When a piece of coursework is submitted to Turnitin, an Originality Report is generated, which highlights instances of text matching. At NTU, Turnitin is integrated into NOW, via the use of the Dropbox.

The draft submission folder allows you to upload your work in advance of the final deadline, so you can make use of the Originality Report that is generated. The Originality Report shows repeated text from other sources within the Turnitin database, and can be used as a tool to improve your understanding of academic integrity and referencing.

To prevent the software from detecting similarities in re-submitted work, you should use the same file name when uploading work. This will be mean that the files will be exempt from checking.

All submissions will be date-stamped and late submissions will be highlighted to tutors. Please ensure work is uploaded before the deadline as computer issues are not an accepted reason for late submissions and may incur penalty.

Purpose: Learning the newsvendor model as an important inventory model.
Research the newsvendor model (e.g., watch a video about it).
When should this model be used to manage inventory?
What are the parameters of the newsvendor model?
List at least 10 examples in which the newsvendor model can be used to find the optimal order quantity.
Calculate the cost of overage (C_o) and the cost of underage (C_u) for the following example:
Retail price: p=$20
Purchase price: r=$14
Salvage value: s=$5
Calculate the critical fractile.
Assuming demand follows a uniform distribution between D_min=80 and D_max=150, find the optimal order quantity.
Now assume the demand follows a normal distribution with mean D_mean=115 and standard deviation σ=15. Find the optimal order quantity.
Now assume the demand follows a normal distribution with mean D_mean=115 and standard deviation σ=5. Find the optimal order quantity.
What conclusion can you make by comparing parts (h) and (i) about the relationship between uncertainty in order amount (represented by the standard deviation) and optimal order quantity?
