Calculate MPC when MPS is given to be as 0.9
A researcher has a sample of 6 annual observations {94, 104, 102, 99, 111 and 107} for the CPI in country Z for the period 2015 to 2020, and wants to forecast CPI for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023. The researcher uses 3 different forecasting models: A, B and C. Model A is an AR(1) model with no drift and with an estimated autoregressive coefficient = 0.7. Model B is a MA(1) model with no constant and with an estimated MA coefficient = -0.4 (note the minus !). Model C is a random walk model with no drift. The error terms over the 2015-2020 period were estimated to have the values: {3, -1, 2, 4, -3, 1}. a. Compute the 2021, 2022 and 2023 forecasted values for the consumer price index based on the three models. Show the formulas and the details of your calculations, and explain all the related symbols. b. Suppose that the actual values of the CPI over the 2021, 2022 and 2023 were {108, 114, 105}. Calculate the Root mean square error of the three model forecasts over the 2021-2023…
A country in Southeast Asia states it's gross domestic product in terms of yen. Last year it's GDP was 50 billion yen when one U.S. dollar could be exchanged into 120 yen. Required : Assume the GDP increases to 55 billion yen for this year. However, the dollar value of one yen is now $0.01. Determine the country's GDP in terms of U.S. dollars for this year.
Disposable income, the amount left after taxes have been paid, is one measure of the health of the economy. Using U.S. Energy Information Administration data for selected years from 2015 and projected to 2040, the U.S. real disposable income per capita (in dollars) can be approximated by the equation I = 707.6t + 39,090 where t is the number of years after 2015. (a) What t-value corresponds to 2021? t = (b) Find the predicted U.S. per capita real disposable income (to the nearest $10) in 2021. $ (c) In what year is the U.S. per capita real disposable income expected to exceed $55,000? Extreme Protection, Inc. manufactures helmets for skiing and snowboarding. The fixed costs for one model of helmet are $6600 per month. Materials and labor for each helmet of this model are $55, and the company sells this helmet to dealers for $85 each. (Let x represent the number of helmets sold. Let C, R, and P be measured in dollars.) (a) For this helmet, write the function for monthly total costs…

Write the values of the cumulative relative frequency distribution. ii. What percent of the women were at least 25 but less than 35 years old? iii. Assume the relative frequency distribution is based on a sample of 2,000 women. How many women were less than 30 years old?
Statistics Denmark monitors the development of economic variables and measures e.g. productivity development.In general, it is one of the laws of economics that employee productivity determines the ability of employers to pay employees wages. The higher the productivity (per capita output), the higher the wages that can be paid. In a recession, such as Covid, companies are generally reducing their use of labor. The latest statistics show the following: In the third quarter of 2020, labor productivity growth in Denmark was 2%. This increase alone does not say much, but is considered to be able to reflect an increase in productivity following a contraction in labor input. a. Show the relationship between production and labor use in the short term and at the same time explain with a picture what can cause the growth of productivity. b. What is happening to marginal production at the same time? c. Show how wages develop if companies keep marginal costs fixed in the above circumstances…
In a certain foreign country in 2009, the local currency (the ‘Real’) was pegged to the U.S. dollar at the rate of $1 U.S. = 1 Real. The Real was then devalued over the next five years so that $1 U.S. = 2 Real. A bank in the north-eastern United States bought assets in this country valued at 100 million Real in 2009. Now that it is year 2014, what is the worth of this bank’s investment in U.S.dollars? Should the bank sell out of its investment in this foreign country or should it buy more assets?

(ii) Relative to 2008, farm prices were 4% higher in 1999. (iii) Relative to 2008, farm prices were 104% higher in 1999. (iv) Relative to 1999, farm prices were 4% higher in 2008.
The Carbondale Hospital is considering the purchase of a new ambulance. The decision will rest partly on the anticipated mileage to be driven next year. The miles driven during the past 5 years are as follows: Year Mileage 1 3,050 a) Using a 2-year moving average, the forecast for year 6 = miles (round your response to the nearest whole number). b) If a 2-year moving average is used to make the forecast, the MAD based on this = miles (round your response to one decimal place). (Hint: You will have only 3 years of matched data.) c) The forecast for year 6 using a weighted 2-year moving average with weights of 0.45 and 0.55 (the weight of 0.55 is for the most recent period) = miles (round your response to the nearest whole number). The MAD for the forecast developed using a weighted 2-year moving average with weights of 0.45 and 0.55 = d) Using exponential smoothing with a = 0.20 and the forecast for year 1 being 3,050, the forecast for year 6 = miles (round your response to one decimal…
