Read the following scenario and answer the question in 5–10
sentences.
In December of 2004, the company you own entered into a 20-year
contract with a grain supplier for daily deliveries of grain to its
hot dog bun manufacturing facility. The contract called for "10,000
pounds of grain" to be delivered to the facility at the price of
$100,000 per day. Until February 2017, the supplier provided
processed grain which could easily be used in your manufacturing
process. However, no longer wanting to absorb the cost of having
the grain processed, the supplier began delivering whole grain. The
supplier is arguing that the contract does not specify the type of
grain that would be supplied and that it has not breached the
contract. Your company is arguing that the supplier has an onsite
processing plant and processed grain was implicit to the terms of
the contract. Over the remaining term of the contract, reshipping
and having the grain processed would cost your company
approximately $10,000,000, opposed to a cost of around $1,000,000
to the supplier. After speaking with in-house counsel, it was
estimated that litigation would cost the company several million
dollars and last for years. Weighing the costs of litigation, along
with possible ambiguity in the contract, what are three options you
could take to resolve the dispute? Which would be the best option
for your business and why?

You want to develop a regression model about the 2004 presidential election. The objective is to explain percentage of votes received by the Democratic candidate in each state. The explanatory variables are:
(i) unemployment rate in each state,
(ii) gender dummy (female =1 and male = 0),
(iii) a dummy variable for Bill Clinton’s appearance in the state to campaign,
(iv) an interaction term between the
gender dummy and the Clinton dummy.
You want to consider a variety of models. Model I
contains the variables in (i) and (ii). Model II
contains the variables in (i), (ii), and (iii). Model
III contains the variables in (i), (ii), (iii) and
