Consider the following time series data.

(a) Create the correct time series plot. Which type of pattern exists in the data?

(b) Use a multiple regression model with dummy variables as follows to develop an equation to account for seasonal effects in the data. Qtr1 = 1 if Quarter 1, 0 otherwise; Qtr2 = 1 if Quarter 2, 0 otherwise; Qtr3 = 1 if Quarter 3, 0 otherwise. If required, round your answers to three decimal places. For subtractive or negative numbers, use a minus sign even if there is a + sign before the blank. (Example: -300) If the constant is 1, it must be entered in the box. Do not round intermediate calculations.

(c) Compute the quarterly forecasts for next year based on the model you developed in part (b). If required, round your answers to three decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.

(d) Use a multiple regression model to develop an equation to account for trend and seasonal effects in the data. Use the dummy variables you developed in part (b) to capture seasonal effects and create a variable t such that t = for Quarter 1 in Year 1, t = 2 for Quarter 2 in Year 1,... t = 12 for Quarter 4 in Year 3. If required, round your answers to three decimal places. For subtractive or negative numbers, use a minus sign even if there is a + sign before the blank. (Example: -300)

(e) Compute the quarterly forecasts for next year based on the model you developed in part (d). Do not round your interim computations and round your final answer to three decimal places.

(f) Find MSE of the model developed in part (b) and the model developed in part (d). Which one is the more effective model? If required, round your intermediate calculations and final answer to three decimal places.

If possible, for the tasks that require to use Excel, can you please help show me how to do those steps in Excel, especially how to create the time series plot in part a?

Thank you very much.

SST stock traded for $38/share on 4/1. You believe the stock will appreciate over the next few days and you decide you use three futures contracts to trade based on your belief. Futures contracts on SST have 300 shares attached. SST futures traded for $41/share on 4/1. The initial and maintenance margins are $1800 and $1200 per contract, respectively.

Find your initial margin balance the day you opened your position.

The price for SST futures is $40 on 4/2. Find your ending margin balance on 4/2. Assume deficits are eliminated to keep the position open.

The price for SST futures is $38.5 on 4/3. Find your ending margin balance on 4/3. Assume deficits are eliminated to keep the position open. Do not use the dollar sign when entering your answer.

Find your return on invested capital if you close your position on 4/4 when SST futures trade for $44/share.

Need to write a program and part 1 of the program is to write an HTML code, here are the parameters, but I am new to HTML and I am confused as to how to write this.

1) HTML file shall:

        - have your name(s) somewhere near the top, as a comment.
        - be a complete html document with appropriate html tags.
        - have 1 form with 2 parts, described as follows:

        part 1:
            - present (4) input fields named:
                          myin, myout, inamount, submit1
            - myin and myout are free form text fields.
              inamount is a real number.
              submit1 is of type "submit", with a value of "Make it so".
            - the 4 fields will be in an html table
              that is 1 row by 4 columns
            - you should use a table header for each column.

        part 2:
            - present (3) input fields named:
                          maybein, maybeout, submit2
            - maybein and maybeout are free form text fields.
              submit2 is of type "submit", with a value of "Is path?".
            - the 3 fields will be in an html table
              that is 1 row by 3 columns
            - you should use a table header for each column.

        IMPORTANT: this form will have an "action" value of the CGI
                    file "universal.cgi". It shall use the
                    "method" of "GET".

Let Y ~ Unif(1,5).

1.If you generate 5 random numbers based on Y, what is the probability you'll get more(numbers greater than 4) than (numbers less than or equal to 4)?

2.If you take lots of random values for Y and plug them into the polynomial h(x) = (2x−1)(x+ 3),what value would you get out of the polynomial on average?

A firm can use two different production technologies, with capital and labor requirements at each level of output as follows:

                        Technology 1             Technology 2

(a) In general, which technology is most desirable?

(b) Suppose the firm is operating in a low-wage country, where capital cost is $8 per unit and labor cost is $4 per worker. For each level of output, which technology is the cheapest? Show your work.

(b) Now suppose the firm is operating in a high-wage country, where capital cost is $4 per unit and labor cost is $8 per worker. For each level of output, which technology is the cheapest? Show your work.

1,000 units were sold. XX Company uses a periodic inventory system.

Instructions

(a) Determine the cost of goods available for sale.

(b) Determine (1) the ending inventory, and (2) the cost of goods sold under each of the

assumed cost flow methods (FIFO, LIFO, and average-cost).

sheet, and (2) the highest cost of goods sold for the income statement?
