PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE DOCUMENT ENTITLED
“GENERAL ASSIGNMENT
GUIDELINES”
BEFORE YOU BEGIN THIS ASSIGNMENT. ALL REFERENCES ARE TO
THE 7
th
EDITION OF STUDENMUND. UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE, USE A 5%
SIGNIFICANCE LEVEL FOR ALL TESTS. ASSIGNMENTS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED
THROUGH BRIGHTSPACE EITHER ON OR BEFORE THE DUE DATE.
IF IN DOUBT, PROVIDE MORE DETAIL IN YOUR ANSWERS, RATHER THAN LESS.
NOTE: If a statistical table does not give an entry for the appropriate number(s) of degrees of
freedom, then use the closest number(s) of degrees of freedom available.
1. Professor Boysenberry has developed a wage model, which can be stated as follows:
?𝐴??
𝑖
= 𝛽
0
+ 𝛽
1
?
𝑖
+ 𝛽
2
???
𝑖
+ 𝛽
3
𝐴??
𝑖
+ 𝛽
4
??????
𝑖
+ 𝛽
5
??
𝑖
+ 𝜖
𝑖
𝑖 = 1, 2, … , 500
where the underlying variables are defined as follows:
WAGE = current hourly wage in $
S = years of schooling
EXP = years of out-of-school work experience
AGE = age in years
HEIGHT = height in inches
IQ = composite IQ score, normalized to have a mean of zero and units of one standard deviation
together with the dataset A3Q1.dta, which is available in Brightspace.
a) Do you believe that this is a good model of wage determination? Carefully explain your
reasoning.
b) Using STATA, estimate the model and then copy and paste the output into your assignment.
c) Using STATA, obtain basic summary statistics for all of the variables which appear in the
model and then copy and paste the output into your assignment.
d) Using STATA, compute the correlation matrix for the set of explanatory variables which
appear in the model and then copy and paste this correlation matrix into your assignment.
e) Using STATA to run the relevant regressions, calculate the VIFs for this model using the steps
outlined on p. 234 in Section 8.3, together with the formula given in equation (8.16). Be sure to
copy and paste all of the STATA output into your assignment.
2
f) Check your answers to part e), by using the STATA
“
vif
”
post-estimation command. Be sure
to copy and paste the relevant output into your assignment.
g)
Using Klein’s Rule of Thumb (discussed in footnote 6 on p. 235 in Section 8.3), do any of the
?
2
values from the auxiliary regressions run in part e) suggest the presence of multicollinearity?
Explain.
h) Review your answers to parts b), c), d), e), f), and g) and then draw an overall conclusion as to
whether there is any evidence of a significant degree of multicollinearity in the model. Explain.
i) Can you suggest a remedy for the multicollinearity issue, if any, in this model? Explain.
2. Consider the following time-series demand function model for gasoline and oil:
𝑙𝑛?𝐴???𝐿
𝑡
= 𝛽
0
+ 𝛽
1
???
𝑡
+ 𝛽
2
???𝐴???𝐿
𝑡
+ 𝜖
𝑡
𝑡 = 1, 2, … , 45
where the variables are defined as follows:
ln GASOIL = natural logarithm of consumer expenditure on gasoline and oil
DPI = aggregate disposable personal income
RPGASOIL = relative price index for gasoline and oil
and
???𝐴???𝐿 = (
?𝐺𝐴??𝐼𝐿
???𝐸
) × 100
where
PGASOIL = nominal price index for gasoline and oil
PTPE = nominal price index for total personal expenditures
together with the dataset A3Q2.dta, which is available in Brightspace.
a) Using an appropriate set of STATA commands, estimate this model, and then copy and paste
the output into your assignment. Be sure to include ALL your STATA commands in this output.
NOTE: At the beginning of your STATA program, be sure to tell STATA that this is a time-
series regression and that “
YEAR
” is the time variable. (See p. 9
-1 in Chapter 9 of Using
STATA: A Practical Guide.)
b) Using STATA, plot the residuals from your estimated regression equation in a line graph
against YEAR
. (To produce a line graph in STATA, you can just replace “scatter” with “line” in
the
“
graph
”
command which I discussed in class.) Copy and paste your line graph into your
assignment. Does your graph exhibit any signs of serial correlation? Explain.

After really poor attendance in the final few sections, Raghav has been throw into a deep existential
nightmare. He doubts the very validity of his existence and wonders if at all he can be an effective
teacher. The above table gives the observable scores of students in the final exam of those who
attended and did not attend section, and hypothetical scores in case students turned up for sections
but Raghav was absent.
Question 7
Is Raghav really effective as a teacher? Should he continue his professorial aspirations? What is his
true effect? (Provide a numerical answer given the above table)

A sample of 50 UNR students was
randomly selected. A question asked was
about annual cost of driving a car and 50
numbers were collected. (Have you ever
calculated how much costs you to drive
your vehicle annually? The costs should
include DMV registration, insurance, gas (
weekly cost times 52), parking, repair and
maintenance, tickets/fines, and
depreciation. If you have not, find it out.
Often, the number is much higher than
what you would think.) The sample

Plastic cups are made by forming of raw plastic. The price of plastic is 4.500 OMR
per kg and the price of plastic cups is 13 OMR per 1000 cups. Plant requires differ-
ent machine which cost about 50,000 OMR, but the machines has to be imported,
after paying 25% as customs duty.
On a graph paper, draw a freehand graph and represent all important parameters.
Due to increase in plastic price, the break-even quantity has increased by 10%.
Find out the new plastic price?

A time-study technician at the Southern Textile Companyhas conducted a time study of a spinning machine operatorthat spins rough cotton yarn into a finer yarn on bobbins foruse in a weaving operation. The time study was requestedas the result of a union grievance. The average cycle time
for the operator to replace all the full bobbins on the ma-chine with empty bobbins was 3.62 minutes. The technician
assigned an overall performance rating for the job of 100%,and the allowance factor specified by the union contract is15%. Compute the standard time for this job.

The question is the last bolded test. You need the previous questions to answer the last. Thank you for your time and help.
You are the manager of a firm that sells CR2032 batteries for car key fobs and other electronic goods. You typically sell the fobs for $7 for a four-pack and sell an average of 27,192 four-packs per month. Due to increased labor costs, you decide to raise the price to $9 per four-pack. When you do this your monthly sales fall to 22,248 four-packs
Assuming that your firm’s demand function is linear (i.e., takes the form ), calculate the linear demand function
22,248-27,192/9-7= -4944/2= -2472
Demand equation as 27,192 = a-2472(7) => a=27192+17304 =>a=44,496
27192= -2472x7+b
27192= -17304+b
27192+17304=44,496
Demand function is Q= -2472P+44,496
. Using the demand function that you estimated in the previous problem
Calculate demand and total revenue when the price is $7
Q= -2472x7+44,496= -17,304+44,496= 27,192
Total revenue=PxQ=7x27,192=…
