Demographics of Raleigh, NC
Demographic and independent variables relevant to complete a demand analysis include population size and Average income per household. An area with a high population size is most likely to have potential for demand of products, According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2010) the there are 403,892 people in Raleigh, NC. In line with this, the population must be able to have disposable income to buy these products. The relationship between product demand and income is a good indicator of Gross Domestic Product. It is the broadest measure of income generated in the economy. However in demand analysis, personal or household incomes are useful. The income per capita of Raleigh is estimated at $29,771 (Sperlings Best Places, 2010). Therefore, it is critical for a serious business to consider these two demographic factors in demand analysis and estimation. The economy must be an active one in order for business to succeed. An active economy is one that records regular and substantial financial activities that is able to attract business.
In addition, it is expected that consumers must be willing and able to purchase products at lower prices. A business manager or an analyst must consider price as a factor in evaluation of demand. When establishing a new product or a business, it is critical for the manager to analyze prices of competitors as well as of substitute products. In this case, there are several Pizza businesses and it is critical to consider their prices to develop a comprehensive...
However, it is expected that an effective pricing strategy will adopt lower prices for a greater quantity in a bid to trigger demanded.
Demand Analysis
The demand analysis is done by inputting relevant data in Excel to estimate the demand for Pizza under two assumptions about what changes the quantity of Pizza demanded. Initially there will be the assumption of changes in price (PC) affecting the quantity demanded (Y) thereby using regression analysis to estimate the coefficients of the demand function.
Regression Equation
Y = a + b1X1 + b2X2 + b3X3 +b4X4
Where:
Y = Pizza demand
X1 = average price of a of pizza
X2 = Income per capita (Raleigh) 30,000 (State of North Carolina, 2012)
X3 = average price of a can of soft drink (in cents)
X4 = Area (1 Raleigh, 0 otherwise) a = constant value or Y intercept b1, b2, b3, b4 = coefficients of the X variables '
In this case there will be an evaluation of the statistical significance of the estimated coefficients
Coefficients; Standard Error; Confidence Intervals; T-statistic; P-value and the overall fit of the regression line R-square and F-statistic.
Therefore, according to data representation below, it appears as though there is a negative coefficient in the first variables meaning that there is an inverse relationship between the X and Pizza demand variables. However…
Parkville Maryland Parkville is located in the state of Maryland in the Baltimore metropolitan area. Parkville is mainly located in the County of Baltimore with parts of it in Baltimore City County. Parkville is bordered to the south by Carney, which is primarily in the City and to the north by Perry Hall, Hampton, Overlea, and Towson, to the west, north and east. There are several Pizza establishments in the area
The second factor is the independent variable being evaluated. The coefficient for determination of the population of the area is 46%. This correlation indicates that there is a high correlation between time and population. However, the correlation is this case is negative, as can be seen in the chart below. The correlation coefficient for the overall amount spent on building and development of the community is 15%. The correlation between

Forecasting: Kentucky Swamp Brew Forecasting demand within the brewing industry is dependent upon three basic factors: "trends, cycles, and seasonal patterns" (Elfner n.d.). Trends are defined as gradual shifts in demand that permanently affect the demand for the good or service; cycles are repetitious shifts in demand that manifest themselves in cyclical and predictable patters; and seasonal shifts are changes that occur periodically (Elfner n.d.). For example, a trend for Kentucky
