In 2011 home prices and mortgage rates dropped so low that in a number of cities the monthly cost of owning a home was less expensive than renting. The following data show the average asking rent for 10 markets and the monthly mortgage on the median priced home (including taxes and insurance) for 10 cities where the average monthly mortgage payment was less than the average asking rent (The Wall Street Journal, November 26–27, 2011).Click on the datafile logo to reference the data.
Enter negative values as negative numbers.
a. Develop the estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the monthly mortgage given the average asking rent (to 2 decimals).The regression equation is:Mortgage ($) = + Rent ($)
Use the most accurate method to forecast the revenues of licenses, permits, and fees in Years 9, 10, and 11. Use the Year 8 actual figure instead of the forecast figure (Year 8 was $23,210,218). Also, consider three incremental changes in forecasting.
