Question: Consider again the scenario described in Problem 4 . a . The Center for Business Analytics is considering a refund policy for no - shows.

Consider again the scenario described in Problem 4.
a. The Center for Business Analytics is considering a refund policy for no-shows. No
refund would be given for members who do not attend, but nonmembers who do
not attend will be refunded 50% of the price. Extend the model you developed in
Problem 4 for the Business Intelligence Symposium to account for the fact that, historically, 25% of members who registered do not show and 10% of registered nonmembers do not attend. The center pays the caterer for breakfast and lunch based on
the number of registrants (not the number of attendees). However, the center pays
for parking only for those who attend. What is the profit if each corporate member
registers their full allotment of tickets and 127 nonmembers register?
b. Use a two-way data table to show how profit changes as a function of number of
registered nonmembers and the no-show percentage of nonmembers. Vary the number of nonmember registrants from 80 to 160 in increments of 5 and the percentage
of nonmember no-shows from 10 to 30% in increments of 2%. At what point profit is negative?
c. Consider three scenarios:
All other inputs are the same as in part a. Use Scenario Manager to generate a summary report that gives the profit for each of these three scenarios. What is the highest
profit? What is the lowest profit?
