The regression model is given by:

Gross Profit (Y)= 0.063375 + 0.10771xRRP + 0.198205x$ discount + 1.000003xDelivery

β0 = 0.063375, β1 = 0.10771 β2 = 0.198205 & β3 = 1.000003

Analysis & Discussion - Prescriptive Analysis of The Data

Prescriptive analysis is used to know the right levers to push and pull to increase sales, profitability and customer satisfaction

In synchronization with the Descriptive and predictive analysis the objective

Gross Profit (Y)= 0.063375 + 0.10771xRRP + 0.198205x$ discount + 1.000003xDelivery

We need to maximize the objective function Z=Gross Profit (Y)

Subject to the constraints

Discount =10.2

Conclusion to Business Computing

The above sales trend shows that the sales are fluctuating over the three years, the lowest sales count was 12536 in Quarter 4 (2017) and the maximum sales count was 13344 in Quarter 3 (2018).

The average gross profit for varying delivery charges (based upon the state to which goods are getting delivered) is greater than the average gross profit for fixed delivery charges for all three years

Hence keeping the standard delivery charges is not good for gross profit.

The variance of gross profit (year on year) for varying delivery charges (based upon the state to which goods are getting delivered) is greater than the variance of gross profit for fixed delivery charges. This implies standard delivery charges will reduce the high variation in gross profit

This shows the average gross profit for manufacturer Vitra is the maximum and for the manufacturer Estilo Wels is the lowest

From the regression table below R2 = 0.999109744, this means that 99.91% of the variation in Y is explained by the regressors RRP, $ discount & Delivery charges

The regression model is given by:

Gross Profit (Y)= 0.063375 + 0.10771xRRP + 0.198205x$ discount + 1.000003xDelivery

β0 = 0.063375, β1 = 0.10771 β2 = 0.198205 & β3 = 1.000003

The above can be used for predicting future gross profit, given the regressors’ values

Recommendations for Business Computing

Considering the Regression model

Gross Profit (Y)= 0.063375 + 0.10771xRRP + 0.198205x$ discount + 1.000003xDelivery

  • From β3 It is visible that increasing/decreasing delivery charges will have the maximum impact on gross profit (Y)
  • Increasing Discount percentage can reduce gross profit
  • Buying goods from manufacturers like Vitra & Dorf will be more profitable
