QT = 200 -.01PT +.005PM -10PG +.01I +.003A 1.  Characterize this function by circling all in the following list that are applicable:   univariate, bivariate, multivariate, linear, exponential, logarithmic, curvilinear, 1st degree, 3rd degree, additive, multiplicative, linearly homogeneous   2.  What is the numerical value of the partial derivative of the function with respect to advertising spending (be sure to also include the + or – sign.  Note: I do not want the symbol for this partial derivative)?   3.  Write the mathematical symbol representing the coefficient of the price of gas (the numerical value of this coefficient is -10, but the answer you give is to be the symbol for this partial derivative).   4.  Assuming there is a $2 increase in the price of gasoline (PG), what change in Toyota demand QT       will result (an increase or decrease and also give the numerical value, too)?   5. Are Mazadas a substitute for or complementary to Toyotas?  What feature of the function tells…

Hello. May I ask how did you get the values? Were those only assumed values? Can you also explain how did you make the normal form thoroughly?

Suppose that a coffee producing firm estimated the following regression of thedemand for its brand of coffee:Qc = 1.5 − 3.0Pc + 0.8Y + 2.0Pb − 0.6PS +1.2 Awhere Qc = sales of coffee brand C, in dollarsper pound Pc = price of coffee brand C,in dollars per poundY = personal disposable income, in millions of dollars per yearPb = price of the competitive brand of coffee, in dollarsper pound Ps = price of sugar, in dollars per poundA = advertising expenditures for coffee brand C, in hundreds of thousands ofdollars per year.Suppose also that this year, Pc = $2, Y = $2.5, Pb = $1.80,Ps = $1 and A =$1.a. Interpret the results of the estimated demand.b. Compute point price elasticity of demand for the firm’s brand of coffeewith respect to its price.c. Compute the cross-price elasticity of demand for coffee with respect to theprice of competitive coffee brand b.d. At the current price level, would it be viable for the firm to increase the pricelevel of its brand of coffee? Support your answer.…

The relationships between some economic variables w, y, and z and another economic variable, x, are shown in the graph above. Notice that the horizontal axis is labeled “x” since they are all functions of x but the vertical axis is not labeled. 1-1 Does the vertical axis need a label in order for you to be able to understand the graph?1-2What value of x minimizes w?

In this problem annual income for ages 20 to 80 is given graphically. People sometimes spend less than their income (to save for retirement) or more than their income (taking out a loan). The process of spreading out spending over a lifetime is called consumption smoothing. annual income ($10nns nar vaar) years) (a) Find the average annual income for these years. The average annual income is dollars/year. eTextbook and Media (b) Assuming that people spend at a constant rate equal to their average income, when are they spending less than they earn, and when are they spending more? Enter your answers in increasing order. They spend less than their income every year from age to They spend more than their income every year from age to and from age to

The variable shown on the vertical axis is _________  .   The units for the variable on the horizontal axis are __________    .   There are two ways to view the information presented on the graph. First, the graph tells us the amount a person with a certain income is likely to spend on a car, and second, it tells us the probable income of a person who spent a certain amount on a car. For example, if an individual earned $40,000 last year and purchased a new car, you would expect that person to have paid about _________   for the car. Similarly, if someone just paid $25,000 for a car, you could use this graph to estimate that this person's income was probably around __________   .
