ATTACHMENT PREVIEW Download attachmentCASE STUDIESSouthwestern University: (B)*Southwestern University (SWU), a large state college in Stephenville, Texas, enrolls close to 20,000students. The school is a dominant force in the small city, with more students during fall and spring thanpermanent residents.Always a football powerhouse, SWU is usually in the top 20 in college football rankings. Since thelegendary Phil Flamm was hired as its head coach in 2006 (in hopes of reaching the elusive number 1ranking), a±endance at the ²ve Saturday home games each year increased. Prior to Flamm’s arrival,a±endance generally averaged 25,000 to 29,000 per game. Season ³cket sales bumped up by 10,000 justwith the announcement of the new coach’s arrival. Stephenville and SWU were ready to move to the big³me!The immediate issue facing SWU, however, was not NCAA ranking. It was capacity. The exis³ng SWUstadium, built in 1953, has sea³ng for 54,000 fans. The following table indicates a±endance at eachgame for the past 6 years.One of Flamm’s demands upon joining SWU had been a stadium expansion, or possibly even a newstadium. With a±endance increasing, SWU administrators began to face the issue head-on. Flamm hadwanted dormitories solely for his athletes in the stadium as an addi³onal feature of any expansion.SWU’s president, Dr. Joel Wisner, decided it was ³me for his vice president of development to forecastwhen the exis³ng stadium would “max out.” The expansion was, in his mind, a given. But Wisner neededto know how long he could wait. He also sought a revenue projec³on, assuming an average ³cket priceof $50 in 2013 and a 5% increase each year in future prices.Discussion Ques³ons1. Develop a forecas³ng model, jus³fying its selec³on over other techniques, and project a±endancethrough 2014.2. What revenues are to be expected in 2013 and 2014?3. Discuss the school’s op³ons.
