Suppose that B is a 12 × 9 matrix with nullity 5. For each of the following subspaces, tell me their dimension, along with what value of k is such that the subspace in question is a subspace of R k . (For example, a possible – though incorrect – answer is that Col B is a subspace of R 2 .) So, you’ll need eight answers for this problem (two answers for each of the four parts). • Col B • Null B • Row B • Null BT

The demand for roses was estimated using quarterly figures for the period 1971 (3rd quarter) to 1975 (2nd quarter). Two models were estimated and the following results were obtained:

Y = Quantity of roses sold (dozens)

X2 = Average wholesale price of roses ($ per dozen)

X3 = Average wholesale price of carnations ($ per dozen)

X4 = Average weekly family disposable income ($ per week)

X5 = Time (1971.3 = 1 and 1975.2 = 16)

ln = natural logarithm

The standard errors are given in parentheses.

a) How would you interpret the coefficients of ln X2, ln X3 and ln X4 in model A?                

What sign would you expect these coefficients to have? Do the results concur with your expectation?                                                                                                                                 

b) Are these coefficients statistically significant?                                                                   

c) Use the results of Model A to test the following hypotheses:

i) The demand for roses is price elastic                                                                                   

ii) Carnations are substitute goods for roses                                                               

iii) Roses are a luxury good (demand increases more than proportionally as income rises)  

d) Are the results of (b) and (c) in accordance with your expectations? If any of the tests are statistically insignificant, give a suggestion as to what may be the reason.                        

e) Do you detect the presence of multicollinearity in the data? Explain.                                            

f) Do you detect the presence of serial correlation? Explain                                                   

g) Do the variables X3, X4 and X5 contribute significantly to the analysis? Test the joint significance of these variables.        

h) Starting from model B, assuming that at the time point of January, 1973, there was a disaster that heavily affected the quantity of roses produced. Suggest a model to check if we have to use two different models for the data before and after the disaster. (Using dummy variable).

Rolle's Theorem, "Let f be a continuous function on [a,b] that is differentiable on (a,b) and such that f(a)=f(b). Then there exists at least one point c on (a,b) such that f'(c)=0."

Rolle's Theorem requires three conditions be satisified.

(a) What are these three conditions?

(b) Find three functions that satisfy exactly two of these three conditions, but for which the conclusion of Rolle's theorem does not follow, i.e., there is no point c in (a,b) such that f'(c)=0. Each function should satisfy a different pair of conditions than the other two functions. For each function you should give a definition, a graph, and a short justification of its failing to meet the conclusion of Rolle's Theorem.

The Hastings Sugar Corporation has the following pattern of net income each year, and associated capital expenditure projects. The firm can earn a higher return on the projects than the stockholders could earn if the funds were paid out in the form of dividends.

Year Net Income Profitable Capital
Expenditure
1 $ 12 million $ 8 million
2 19 million 11 million
3 15 million 7 million
4 18 million 8 million
5 18 million 8 million

The Hastings Corporation has 3 million shares outstanding. (The following questions are separate from each other).

a. If the marginal principle of retained earnings is applied, how much in total cash dividends will be paid over the five years? (Enter your answer in millions.)

b. If the firm simply uses a payout ratio of 20 percent of net income, how much in total cash dividends will be paid? (Enter your answer in millions and round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

c. If the firm pays a 20 percent stock dividend in years 2 through 5, and also pays a cash dividend of $3.40 per share for each of the five years, how much in total dividends will be paid?

d. Assume the payout ratio in each year is to be 40 percent of the net income and the firm will pay a 30 percent stock dividend in years 2 through 5, how much will dividends per share for each year be? (Assume the cash dividend is paid after the stock dividend.) (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

1. Charlie had taken out a personal loan of 50K in the beginning of the year with a co-signer. He promised his co-signer that he could make the money back in no time. He showed his co-signer the payments he planned to make with interest included. He and the bank agreed that he would pay 11% interest over 48 months. This means that the loan will actually amount to $55,500 and Charlie is paying $1,156.25 monthly.

a) How would you explain slope and y-intercept? When looking at a coordinate plane, we read from left to right. Many people remember the standard form of an equation being:
Y = mx + b

m represents the slope

And “+b” represents the y-intercept

This is nice. However, how is that useful for us?

What is slope?

What is y-intercept?
