FlowersRUS owns and operates a nationwide chain of floral shops. It makes management decisions based on data and economic models. Recently, it estimated a regression equation to project the demand for flower bouquets in a suburban town: QD=50-5P+ 2Y Where Q is quantity, P is price per unit, and Y is an index of consumer income. Similarly, supply is described by: Qs = -5 + 10P

The tables to the right give price-demand and price-supply data for the sale of soybeans at a grain market, where x is the number of bushels of soybeans (in thousands of bushels) and p is the price per bushel (in dollars). Use quadratic regression to model the price-demand data and linear regression to model the price-supply data. Complete parts (A) and (B) below. (A) Find the equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price. The equilibrium quantity is thousand bushels. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (...)

Imagine you are trying to explain the effect of square footage on home sale prices in the United States. You collect a random sample of 100,000 homes that recently sold. a) Homes can be one of three types: single-family houses, townhomes, or condos. How would you control for a home’s type in a regression model? b) Write down a regression model that includes controls for home type, square footage, and number of bedrooms. c) How would you interpret the estimated coefficients for each of the variables from part b? Be specific. Note Don't forget to include dummy variables.

Eastman Publishing Company is considering publishing an electronic textbook about spreadsheet applications for business. The fixed cost of manuscript preparation, textbook design, and web site construction is estimated to be $165,000. Variable processing costs are estimated to be $5 per book. The publisher plans to sell single-user access to the book for $44. Through a series of web-based experiments, Eastman has created a predictive model that estimates demand as a function of price. The predictive model is demand price of the e-book. (b) Use Goal Seek to calculate the price (in dollars) that results in breakeven. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) = (a) Construct an appropriate spreadsheet model for calculating the profit/loss at a given single-user access price taking into account the above demand function. What is the profit estimated by your model for the given costs and single user access price (in dollars). $ 3736 X (c) Use a data table that varies price from $50 to $400…
General Cereals is using a regression model to estimate the demand for Tweetie Sweeties, a whistle-shaped, sugar-coated breakfast cereal for children. The following (multiplicative exponential) demand function is being used: QD= 6,280 P 1.35) 42.05 N 2.70 where QD quantity demanded, in 10-oz boxes P = price per box, in dollars A = advertising expenditures on daytime television, in dollars N = proportion of the population under 12 years old, in percent What is the point price elasticity of demand for Tweetie Sweeties? O 2.70 O 2.05 -0.66 -1.35 What is the advertising elasticity of demand? -1.35 O 2.70 O 0.76 O 2.05 According to the estimated model, a percent increase in the proportion of the population under 12 years old by percent. the quantity demanded
Imagine you are an economist working for the Government of Econville. You are tasked with developing a model to predict the GDP of the country based on various factors such as interest rates, inflation, unemployment rate, and population growth. You collect quarterly data for the past 20 years and start building your model. After running your initial regression, you notice some peculiar patterns in the residuals: (1) residuals do not have identical variances across different levels of the independent variables; (2) two or more independent variables in a regression model are highly correlated with each other; (3) the correlation of a variable with its own past values. You suspect that your model might be suffering from 3 potential issues in the regression analysis that can affect reliability and validity. what are the implications of Heteroscedasticity if this potential issue in your model?

Being able to read regression results can help the manager use the information to make right decisions particularly in developing a marketing strategy. Assume that you are interested in finding whether the advertisement has a significant positive effect on sales. Which of the following is correct? A. lower standard errors of the estimates are better than higher standard errors B. as a rule of thumb, you are correct 95 % of the time in concluding that there is a positive and significant relationship between the advertising expenditures and sales if the coefficient attached to advertising expenditure is positive and the “t” value is at least 2 C. there is a positive significant relationship between advertising expenditure and sales if both the lower bound and the upper bound of the confidence interval are positive. D. the R2 shows the proportion of the variation in the sales as explained by the model which consists of the advertising expenditure plus some other determinants of sales…
