Part 1 Forecasting Techniques Regression Analysis, Learning Curve, Expected Value, Sensitivity Question 1 Which of the following is not
a limitation of learning curve analysis? A.
Learning curve analysis assumes that the percentage improvement from learning only fully occurs when production doubles. B.
Learning curve analysis cannot be used when it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of efficiency improvements. C.
Learning curve analysis assumes all improvements in production efficiency are caused by employee learning. D.
Learning curve analysis can only be used to predict performance that is within the range of data used to develop the analysis. Question 2 How does a multiple linear regression equation differ from a simple linear regression equation? A.
More than one independent variable is used to predict a dependent variable in a multiple linear regression equation but only one independent variable is used to predict a dependent variable in a simple linear regression equation. B.
More than one dependent variable is predicted by a multiple linear regression equation but only one dependent variable is predicted in a simple linear regression equation. C.
A multiple linear regression is likely to be less accurate than a simple linear regression model. D.

The underlying probabilities used in the expected value formula are usually based on subjective judgments. B.
The expected value computation reduces multiple outcomes down to a single value, which is easily understood and can be entered into a budget plan. C.
The expected value computation is the most likely outcome in the future. D.

While, the slowdown in business and economic activities the country is in the recessionary phase of the business cycle as the GDP growth for the FY 2020-21 is expected to be -0.2 accompanied by high unemployment and poverty rate. .
Using AD-AS model reflect how it might have affected the economy. Explain the impact on price and output.
If the policymakers decides to take no action, reflect the impact it is going to create using AD-AS model in the long run. Also, explain the impact on price and output.
If the central back opts for increasing money supply, reflect the adjustments using AD-AS in the SR and LR and explain the impact on price and output
