Research Question Blue Rectangle
A regional manager for Blue Rectangle Company visited Wonderfulsville Research Development group seeking assistance with maximizing profits between the DVD rental kiosk locations in town; they are located on Highway 10, and near Shackelford Road. Manager stated that his kiosks are equipped to hold 40 DVDs of each selection per location, however he choose to only have 20 per kiosk based on past rental history and data. He provided rental data per location for the past three weeks for review (See below) and wanted to see if it would be beneficial to move certain selections from one location to the other.
