If a Winters' model for new car dealer sales, comes up with four seasonal indices with values of Q1 = 0.95, Q2 = 1.04, Q3 = 1.05, and Q4 = 0.96, the following can be interpreted: Multiple Choice Q1 sales are lower because of Q2 sales. Q1 sales are usually about 5 percent below an average quarter. Q1 sales are usually about 5 percent above an average quarter. Q1 sales are higher because of Q2 sales.
ATV is a price-setting firm and estimates the demand for its cement using a demand function in the linear form: Q = f( P, M, PR) where Qc = demand for cement/month (in yards) Pc = the price of cement per yard, M = country’s tax revenues per capita, and PR = the price of asphalt per yard.

TRUE OR FALSE. A model with heterosdasticity problem most likely has insignificant parameter estimates.
If the t ratio for the slope of a simple linear regression equation is equal to 1.614 and the critical values of the t distribution at the 1% and 5% levels of significance, respectively, are 3.499 and 2.365, then the slope is not significantly different from zero. significantly different from zero at both the 1% and the 5% levels. significantly different from zero at the 1% level but not at the 5% level. significantly different from zero at the 5% level but not at the 1% level. please show how you come up with the answer , do not just guess !!!
The demand function for a product is given by P = 4000/ln (x+10), where P is the price per unit in dollars when x units are demanded.i. Find the rate of change of price with respect to the number of units sold when 40 units are sold ii. Find the rate of change of price with respect to the number of units sold when 90 units are sold.iii. Find the second derivative to see whether the rate at which the price is changing at 40 units is increasing or decreasing.

In the Markowitz portfolio optimization model defined in equations (8.10) through (8.19) in the text, the decision variables represent the percentage of the portfolio invested in each of the mutual funds. For example, FS = 0.25 in the solution means that 25% of the money in the portfolio is invested in the foreign stock mutual fund. It is possible to define the decision variables to represent the actual dollar amount invested in each mutual fund or stock. Redefine the decision variables so that now each variable represents the dollar amount invested in the mutual fund. Assume an investor has $50,000 to invest and wants to minimize the variance of his or her portfolio subject to a constraint that the portfolio returns a minimum of 10%. (a) Reformulate the model given by (8.10) through (8.19) based on the new definition of the decision variables. min     ((R1 − R)2 + (R2 − R)2 + (R3 − R)2 + (R4 − R)2 + (R5 − R)2) s.t.     R1 =…
Write (TRUE/FALSE) for each question.  An observation with a large standardized residual value always generates a large Cook’sdistance value. (T/F)Leverage value detects unusual x values. (T/F)BIC gives heavier penalty on models with many variables than Cp or AIC. (T/F) As the tuning parameter λ → ∞, the coefficients of ridge regression tend to zero. (T/F)Like the least square coefficient, ridge regression coefficients are scale equivalent. (T/F)The shrinkage penalty is applied to all coefficient except for the intercept. (T/F) Lasso regression reduces the bias by increasing the tuning parameter. (T/F)

Q2 The manufacturer of a low-sugar bottled juice estimated the following demand equation for its product using data from 25 retail stores around Dover city for the month of November: Q=-2000-15 Pje+ 8.4Px + 0.51 + 0.4A (220) (5.0) (5.6) (0.2) (0.16) R²=0.57 n=25 F = 6.83 Assume the following values for the independent variables: Standard error 1 Q denotes quantity sold per month Pje (denotes price of the bottled juice) = 240 (in cents) P. (denotes price of leading competitor's product) - 300 (in cents) I (denotes per capita income of the standard residential district in which the retail store is located) = 4000 (in dollars) A (denotes monthly advertising expenditure) = 7700 (in dollars) Using this information, answer the following questions: a. Compute elasticities for each variable.. b. Do you think that this firm should cut its price to increase its market share?

please solve both questions Q-1. Which of the following is a positive statement? A. The federal government debt is too large. B. The executives of banks that received financial assistance from the government during the financial crisis should not have received bonuses C. There is evidence to show that smaller class sizes improve students GPA. D. State government should reduce taxes on gasoline Q-2 If the average cost of transporting a passenger on the train from Chicago to St. Louis is $75, it would be irrational for the railroad to allow any passenger to ride for less than $75. A. FALSE since the railroad should compare marginal benefit to marginal cost. B. TRUE since otherwise the railroad would make a loss. C. TRUE since the marginal benefit of one extra passenger is more than $75 D. FALSE since rational decision makers face a trade-off
