Case Analysis Assignment: Performance Lawn Equipment
Elizabeth Burke has recently joined the PLE management team to oversee production operations. She has reviewed the types of data that the company collects and has assigned you the responsibility to be her chief analyst in the coming weeks. To prepare for this task, you have decided to review each worksheet and determine whether the data were gathered from internal sources, external sources, or have been generated from special studies. Also, you need to know whether the measures are categorical, ordinal, interval, or ratio.
• Prepare a report summarizing the characteristics of the metrics used in each worksheet.
Elizabeth Burke has asked you to do some preliminary analysis of the data in the Performance Lawn Equipment database.
• First, she would like you to edit the worksheets Dealer Satisfaction and End-User Satisfaction to display the total number of responses to each level of the survey scale across all regions for each year.
• Second, she wants a count of the number of failures in the worksheet Mower Test.
• Next, Elizabeth has provided you with prices for PLE products for the past 5 years:
Year Mower Price ($) Tractor Price ($)
2010 150 3,250
2011 175 3,400
2012 180 3,600
2013 185 3,700
2014 190 3,800
• Create a new worksheet in the database to compute gross revenues by month and region, as well as worldwide totals, for each product using the data in Mower Unit Sales and Tractor Unit Sales.
• Finally, she wants to know the market share for each product and region based on the PLE and industry sales data in the database.
• Create and save these calculations in a new worksheet. Summarize all your findings in a report to Ms. Burke.
