Math Question, revenue versus advertising?
542489
when $2000 is spend revenue = $120,000\nwhen $x is spent, revenue = $180,000\n\ncross multiply to get:\n120,000 * x = 180,000 * 2000\n120,000x = 360,000,000\nx= 360,000,000/120,000\nx=3000\n\nAdvertising therefore = $3000.00 when revenue = $180,000

that depends on if they are getting money per hit so it depends on advertising. If they are selling something that would alter it as well. Someone sellign a high volume of expensive goods would make more then someone sellign high volume of cheap goods

So you don't want anything that involves math!!!...\n\nYou want to be a writer...\n\nSupposing you are now a good writer, and you are about to publish your first novel...Supposing each book costs $2 to print and you want to print 10,000 copies in your first printing. You will break even as soon as you have sold 3,000 copies. How much must each book be priced? Will you say, "I don't care! I hate math!! I will always make money with whatever price it will be sold!!" Do you think that you will make money that way?...\n\nWill you be like a child who will prefer a heavier but lesser value coin over a larger value paper bill...just because you hate math?\n\nWill it be all right with you if people will say you are dumb because you cannnot distinguish one number from another because you HATE MATH? Etc, etc, etc!!!\n\nAre you an adult? How old are you?..."Mmmmm...I am taller than you. I must be an adult."...\n\nWhat time is it now? "Aaaaah...the minute hand points up and the hour hand points down. It must be sundown!!!"\n\nWill you answer questions like that?\n\nDo you still prefer not to learn math? Well...

Depends what kind of "profit"

We're working on the domain [50,80].\n\nFor that domain, the rate per person is 200 - 2(x-50) = 300 - 2x\n\nYour total revenue is the rate per person times the number of people: (200 - 2x)x = 300x - 2x^2.\n\nYour profit is the revenue minus the total cost. Here, the cost has two components, a fixed cost and a variable cost.\n\nThe total cost is 6000 + 32x.\n\nTherefore, your profit function is (300x - 2x^2) - (6000 + 32x) =\n\nf(x) =  -6000 + 268x - 2x^2.\n\n To find the extrema of this function, take the first derivative and set it equal to zero. This isn't rigorous, but since f(x) is a parabola that points down, it will have a single extremum that must be a maximum. (You'd really have to use the second derivative test to verify this.) \n\nf'(x) = 268 - 4x = 0\n\n268 = 4x\n\nx = 67\n\nWith 67 people, the rate is $166. The revenue is $11122.\n\nThe costs are $6000 + 32*67 = $8144.\n\nThe profit is $2978.\n\nNote that the profit at x = 50 is $10000 - $7600 = $2400.\n\nThe profit at x = 80 is $11200 - $8560 = $2640.\n\nThis doesn't prove that we've found the maximum. But given what we know about f(x) - namely, that it's a parabola that points downward, we should expect that it's rising slowly enough for its vertex to be at an x-coordinate greater than x = 80, or that it peaks at a point between x = 50 and x = 80 that is closer x = 50 than it is to x = 80.\n\nJust as a second informal check, when x = 65, the revenue is $11050 and the costs are $8080, giving a profit of $2970.  Clearly, we're approaching the maximum that occurs at x = 67.

What business are most interested about when choosing the right advertising media is Cost per thousand and return on investment. \n\nQuestions they will want answered are:\n\n1.What time is the program and days of the week?\n2.What station/s will be showing the program? \n3.Reach? (Ratings?) – how many people will watch the program. \n4.Cost per thousand – how much will it cost for their advertisement to reach one thousand people.\n5.Sponsors already involved?\n6.Credentials?\n7.And of course, offer them a great discount package, such as 6000usd for 12 30second ads (your base rate being 600usd). \n8.Offer product placements.

based on volume of sales...

it depends on the objective of the marketing program....for instance, if the goal of the marketing program is to increase brand awareness then it`s effectiveness can be evaluated in terms of it`s coverage of it`s target audience base...similarly,  if the goal is to increase product sale, then number of units sold is taken into account..

Depends what you're selling in your store really.\n\nSo your previous answerer was absolutely right really.\n\nYou need to check the demographic of the population, what competition you have in the area, etc.\n\nFor instance.............if the average age of the population is 50+ there would be no point opening a baby shop................or no point opening a burger bar if there is a McDonalds on one corner of your block and a Burger King on the other !\n\nIn very simple terms, most very basic business estimates use the Pareto Principle (otherwise known as the 80/20 rule). This basically says that in a business 80% of the sales comes from 20% of the customer base. \n\nThis can be applied to many other statistics, so in your case, 13791 people are your target market. How you get them through the door is down to you, your product, your pricing, and your marketing.\n\nGood luck.

That's quite an interesting question :) I am not an accounting professional, but me being a business enthusiast, one of the first questions that I explored was this. That must have been way sometime back! So let me see if I can explaint this atall. Providing benefit of doubt, I may be wrong too! :)\n\nImagine Advertising to be a Subset of Marketing. You can probably call it an aid to your Marketing plan. So when calculating expenses, as part of your Marketing expenses, you may consider your advertising expenses like a TV Commercial cost or a banner ad cost. But as far as your Marketing expenses are concerned you may still have other items like say you may have taken some help in professional marketing plan preparation or you may have arranged for a conference where all buyers/sellers meet and things like that.\n\nHave I confused  you? ;-)

Here's the obvious answer.  If you use product placement, you limit the number of businesses competing to advertise in your air time.  \n\nIf you limit the number of busiesses (food product businesses)competing for your advertising air you'll reduce the amount you can charge per minute of advertising air time.\n\nSo, I'd speculate they are making the wise business choice of letting competition keep their advertising prices at a higher premium.

No one knows exactly how much both Google Adsense and Yahoo Publisher Network pay their publishers. The revenue sharing is kept secret, and whether it is a fixed percentage or sliding scale is unknown. \n\nAnd I agree with you - I wouldn't be surprised if the revenue share is a sliding scale with the bigger sites getting a bigger cut compared to the smaller site. \n\nThe only number I saw with Google Adsense is the NY Times article dated Jan 2006 entitled "Google's Shadow Payroll Is Not Such a Secret Anymore" that says the revenue share is 78.5 cents to a dollar for the publishers http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/16/technology/16ecom.html?ex=1295067600&en=362ce1aae484c0b1&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss\n\n"Google.com and the company's foreign search sites contribute more to Google's bottom line than AdSense, because for every dollar the company brings in through AdSense and other places that distribute its ads, it pays roughly 78.5 cents back to sites like Digital Point that display the ads."

The two equations you are given are just two different ways to express the information.  The way this is set up assumes that the inventor will be able to sell every item that is produced, so both her production and sales are represented by "x".\n\nTo see that the two equations are really giving you the same information, notice that:\n\nSales - cost =profit.  Sales would be 4.00x.\n4.00x-(1.75x+7000)=2.25x-7000\n\nThe break even point is when your profit is zero, so you are neither losing nor gaining money.\nP(x)=0.  This point would be called the y-intercept if you were drawing a graph.\n\nAlso, if you look at your two equations, you can see that they are written in the form, y=mx+b, so you could graph the equation, and read the points off the graph, where:\n\n(a) x=2000\n(b) x=5000\n(c) the value of x when y=0.\n\nOr if you feel more comfortable with the algebra, just use your equations.\n\nThe best way is to find the answer by two different ways, and see if they agree.  For a quick check, you can just compare the answers and see if they make sense.\n\nJust by noticing that the slope is positive, you can already tell that the profit for 5000 units should be greater than for 2000 units.\n\nLittle ways to check your work are especially helpful during an exam.

If you find someone willing to do that I'm interested - I have land as collateral and can't find investors. :-) \nThe thing that raises my ? though is NO company can GUARANTEE you 50 prequalfied customers a day. This sounds like a scam. They contacted you. The radio and tv ads - how many and how often and for how long? And internet - not a lot of cost there. Billboards aren't that expensive. They will answer the calls and screen them...ok but to guarantee 50 a day that are qualified for your business...without even knowing what that is that sounds awful high. Out of internet, radio ads I was lucky to get...well...NO calls and it was for food. Everyone eats. I would really seriously look over that with a fine toothed comb...something does not sound right. Guaranteeing you will make X number of $ but it takes $35k to get started now sounds like a scam to me. Be careful
