Question No 1 The Cobb- Douglas production function is given by the form Y = ALAKB Where, Y = Output (mt/day), L = Labour (hours/mt) K = Capita (Rs/mt). By taking the natural logarithm of each term in the function, that is LnY= LnA+¤L1L+BLNK. Using a standard multiple linear regression model the parameters of the function were obtained as follows; Ln Y = 1.389 +0.8LnL + 0.6LNK (0.53) (0.02) (0.04) The standard error for each estimated parameter is shown in parentheses below the estimate. a) b) c) d) function Calculate elasticity of labour and elasticity capital and interpret the results. Is this production function exhibit the law of diminishing returns in the short run? Construct the equation for isoquant. Distinguish between Cobb Douglas production function and Classical production

A manufacturer is developing a facility plan to provide production capacity for its factory. The amount of capacity required in the future depends on the number of products demanded by its customers. The data below reflect past sales of its products: Year Annual Sales (number of products) Year Annual Sales (number of products) 1 490 5 461 2 487 6 475 3 492 7 472 4 478 8 458 Use simple linear regression to forecast annual demand for the products for each of the next three (3) years, by using the tabular method to: derive the values for the intercept and slope derive the linear equation plot the linear regression line develop a forecast for the firm’s annual sales for each of the next three years
A company wants to use regression analysis to forecast the demand for the next quarter.In such a regression model, demand would be the independent variable. True or false?a. Trueb. False
Past class data has shown that the regression line relating the final exam score and the midterm exam score for students who take statistics from the College of Information Technology and Engineering from Dr. Kalaw is: final exam = 50 + 0.5 × midterm One interpretation of the slope is a. students only receive half as much credit (.5) for a correct answer on the final exam compared to a correct answer on the midterm exam. b. a student who scored 0 on the midterm would be predicted to score 50 on the final exam. c. a student who scored 10 points higher than another student on the midterm would be predicted to score 5 points higher than the other student on the final exam. d. a student who scored 0 on the final exam would be predicted to score 50 on the midterm exam.
In a multiple OLS regression. Does correlation between explanitory variables violate assumtion number 4 multicolliniearity? Or is it just for perfect colinearity?
What is the functional form of this equation? What are the advantages and limitations of this functional form? Interpret precisely the coefficients of Px and Py in the regression.
Consider the simple linear regression model given by E(y) = 1.5 + 0.23*x where y is measured in litres and x is measured in dollars. What must be the value of the slope coefficient if x is measured in thousands of dollars while the unit of measurement of y is unchanged (i.e., x is divided by 1000)? Answer:
True or False For a linear regression model including only an intercept, the OLS estimator of that intercept is equal to the sample mean of the independent variable.
Consider the following estimated regression model relating annual salary to years of education and work experience. Estimated Salary=11,722.40+3182.56(Education)+1202.44(Experience)Estimated Salary=11,722.40+3182.56(Education)+1202.44(Experience) Suppose an employee with 66 years of education has been with the company for 33 years (note that education years are the number of years after 8th8th grade). According to this model, what is his estimated annual salary?
XYZ company is interested in quantifying the impact of consumer promotions on the sales of its packaged food product. XYZ has historical data on the following variables for 38 weeks: • Sales: Weekly sales volume in thousands of units.• Prom: Weekly spending on consumer promotions in thousands of Dollars" "A regression analysis was applied to XYZ historical dataset. The dependent variable is weekly Sales and the independent variables are weekly Prom and weekly Lagged Prom (i.e., last week Prom). This is a summary of the regression output:Sales = 0.80 + 1.20*Prom - 0.40*Lag(Prom) • R-squared=0.85• F-Statistic=23.83• p-value=0.001 (for the overall regression)•All regression coefficients are statistically significant at the 5% level." A. What will be the predicted sales volume ? B. What is the gross margin of this net volume impact due to $1000 spending per week on consumer promotions, if brand makes $2.20 gross margin per unit . C. What is the ROI of this promotion? D. What is predicted…
