Four key marketing decision variables are price (p), advertising (a), transportation (t), and product quality (q). consumer demand (d) is influenced by these variables. the simplest model for describing demand in terms of these variables is: d = k – pp + aa + tt + qq where k, p, a, t, and q are constants. discuss the assumptions of this model. specifically, how does each variable affect demand? how do the variables influence each other? what limitations might this model have? how can it be improved?

On january 1, 2018, wetick optometrists leased diagnostic equipment from southern corp. which had purchased the equipment at a cost of $2,256,342. the lease agreement specifies six annual payments of $490,000 beginning january 1, 2018, the beginning of the lease, and at each december 31 thereafter through 2022. the six-year lease term ending december 31, 2023 (a year after the final payment), is equal to the estimated useful life of the equipment. the contract specifies that lease payments for each year will increase on the basis of the increase in the consumer price index for the year just ended. thus, the first payment will be $490,000, and the second and subsequent payments might be different. the cpi at the beginning of the lease is 120. southern routinely acquires diagnostic equipment for lease to other firms. the interest rate in these financing arrangements is 12%.
