Create a multiple regression equation incorporating both a trend (t=0 in 2013: IV) and dummy variables for the quarters. Let the first quarter represent the reference (or base) group. Complete (e) thru (h) using your results. This is a computer deliverable.

(h) Test for the existence of first order autocorrelation, use alpha = 0.05. The calculated dw = 1.19.

ou are considering two different strategies for a savings account that you intend to close when you retire exactly 29 years from today. For Strategy 1, deposit $1,750 per quarter for 8 years (first deposit today; last one exactly 8 years from today); no new deposits will be made after the end of the deposit period, but interest continues to accrue until the account is closed. For Strategy 2, you’ll make your first quarterly deposit exactly 8 years from today, each quarterly deposit also equals $1,750 , and you’ll continue making quarterly deposits for 21 years, so that you make the final deposit exactly 29 years from today when you close the account. The savings rate always is 7.5% compounded quarterly. What will strategy 1 accumulate at retirement?

X Corporation owns real and personal property in New York. Under New York law, X is liable for taxes on real property on the first day of any payment date if it owns real property in the state. The dates are 2/1, 5/1, 8/1, 11/1. For 20X7 the amounts due on each date are $300. Under New York law, a taxpayer is liable for personal property taxes on property held on the first day of the year, payable 60% on July 1 following, and 40% on the 1st day of February of the succeeding year. For 20X7, X pays $300 on 11/1/X7 for the last quarter real estate taxes, and $6,000 of personal property taxes on 7/1/X7. The remaining $4,000 of personal property taxes are paid on 2/1/X8. When may these taxes be deducted?

Consider a 30-year mortgage with an interest rate of 10% compounded monthly and a monthly payment
of $850.
(1) Calculate the principal.
(2) How much of the principal is paid the first, 5th, 20th and last year?
(3) How much interest is paid the first, 5th, 20th and last year year?
(4) What is the total amount of money paid during the 30 years?
(5) What is the total amount of interest paid during the 30 years?
(6) What is the unpaid balance after 25 years?
(7) How much has to be deposited into a savings account with an interest rate of 4% compounded
quarterly in order to pay the unpaid balance of the mortgage after 25 years?
(8) How much has to be deposited each quarter year in a fund with an interest rate of 8% compounded
quarterly in order to cover the unpaid balance after 25 years?

a) Dr. Liu is learning how to juggle. He tosses a tennis ball (probably bad choice since it is so bouncy) up at 1.6 m/s at a height 1.6 m above the floor and attempts to use the other hand to catch the falling ball. The ball hit the floor at his feet. How long was Dr. Liu's tennis ball in the air (between tossing and landing)? Ignore air drag. He should probably practice tossing his juggling ball at the same height and the same speed before attempting to juggle. Hint: You can set the final position to be zero.

b) In a medieval castle siege reenactment, a castle defender threw down a "stone" (made of soft materials) with all his might, achieving an initial speed of 7 m/s downward. The castle was 7.5 m tall. How long will the attacker have before the "stone" hit the ground? You can assume the final position to be zero. The "stone" has a negligible amount of air drag. Hint: the "stone" has a downward initial velocity.

c) A careless painter dropped a brush (with paint!) from a scaffold outside a building he's supposed to paint. You were just recording a selfie video across the street and caught the falling brush in your video. You used your physics skills to figure out the paintbrush was falling at 6.5 m/s when it was just passing the top of a window that you estimated at 4.6 m above the ground. How long did it take the brush to fall from that height to the ground and make a colorful splash? You can assume the final position to be zero. The paintbrush has a negligible amount of air drag. Hint: the paintbrush has a downward initial velocity at the height you estimated.

Prime Minister Imran Khan asks for a plan to increase government spending to offset the fall in investment. The Finance Minister recommends three alternative choices to finance the plan: [06]
(i) An equal increase in taxes to fund expenditures.
(ii) Borrow the money by issuing new government bonds and maintain tax revenues invariable
(iii) Finance the expenditures by printing of money and maintain tax revenues invariable.
Order these financing alternatives from most expansionary to least expansionary. Also explain your ranking.
b) - The Conservative Party of United Kingdom always criticize the crowding-out effects of the government borrowings on private investment. The candidate for Prime Minister from Conservative Party argues that the UK government should just print money to manage the budget deficit. Discuss the merits and demerits of this scheme?
