distribution is symmetric about zero. We want to study what we can say about the OLS estimator if we omitx and compute the simple regression estimator of the intercept and slope. (1) Show that we can write y = a₁ + B₁x + v. where E(v) = 0. In particular, find v and the new intercept, (ii) Show that E(v)x) depends on x unless B₂ - 0. (iii) (iv) Show that Cov(x, v) = 0. If, is the slope coefficient from regression y, on x,, is , consistent for B,? Is it unbiased? Explain. (v) Argue that being able to estimate 3, has some value in the following sense: B, is the partial effect of x on E(vix)evaluated at x = 0, the average value of x. (vi) Explain why being able to consistently estimate B, and B, is more valuable than just estimating B..

BVM manufactured and sold 25,000 small statues this past year. At that volume, the firm was exactly in a breakeven situation in terms of profitability. BVM’s unit costs are expected to increase by 30% next year. What additional information is needed to determine how much the production volume/sales would have to increase next year to just break even in terms of profitability? (a) Costs per unit (b) Sales price per unit and costs per unit (c) Total fixed costs, sales price per unit, and costs per unit (d) No data is needed, the volume increase is 25, 000 + 25, 000(0.30) = 32, 500 units.

Just question 2.9
Bernardo Beefmaster has 50 cull cows that average 1100 Ibs and he purchased them for $60/cwt. He fed the cows for 55 days and sold them at 1260 Ibs for $65/cwt. The cows averaged about 30 lbs of feed per day, and cost $7/cwt. Calculate the average daily gain, feed efficiency (feed:gain), feed only cost of gain, breakeven per pound and total, and the total margin. WHAT IS THE BREAKEVEN VALUE PER POUND?
A seasonal bus tour firm has 5 buses with a capacity of 60 people each. Each customer pays $25 for a one-day tour. Records show $360,000 in fixed costs per season, incremental costs of $5 per customer, and an average daily occupancy of 80%. The number of days of operation necessary each season to break even is closest to which value? (a) 50 days (b) 75 days (c) 100 days (d) 120 days?

I will split this question into two parts per the Q&A guidlines and leave a like for your assistance, thank you.Background:New Pumper system equipment is under consideration by a gulf coast chemical processing plant. One crucial pump moves highly corrosive liquids from specially lined tanks on intercoastal barges into storage and preliminary refining facilities dockside. Beacuse of the variable quality of the raw chemical and the igh pressures imposed on the pump chassis and impellers, a close log is maintained on the number of hours per year that the pump operates safety records and pump componenet deterioration are considered critical control points for this system. As currently planned, rebuild and M&O cost estimates are increased accordingly when cummulative operating time reaches the 6000-hour mark. Information:- First cost: $800,000- Rebuild Cost: $150,000 whenever 6000 cumulative hours are logged. Each rework will cost 20% more than the previous one. A maximum of three…
