Answer:  option b

 

Explanation: In simple words, collinearity refers to the condition under which some of the Independent variables in the model are related to each other. This  international between independents variables can result into incorrect results while fitting the model.

Therefore, collinearity causes problem as the analyst prepares a model on the basis that there will be two inputs one is dependent another is independent but due to this phenomenon the  expected input structure collides.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the economist should be concerned with col linearity.

If frost in Florida reduces the quantity of vegetables sold by 20 percent and increases their retail price by 30 percent, one ca
Anit [1.1K]

Answer: The supply of vegetables has shifted to the left along an inelastic demand curve

Explanation: The quantity of vegetables sold has been reduced by 20 percent, which simply means the aggregate market supply curve has experienced a drop/decrease and that is usually indicated by a complete shift of the supply curve to the left.

Furthermore, we can determine easily if the demand is elastic or inelastic, since the question has stated the percentage change in quantity demanded as 20% and the percentage change in price as 30%.

The coefficient of elasticity is calculated as

E = %change in quantity demanded/%change in price

E = 20/30

E =0.66

Since the coefficient of elasticity is less than 1, then it means demand is inelastic.

In​ 1975, interest rates were 7.85 % and the rate of inflation was 12.3 % in the United States. What was the real interest rate
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is -3.963%.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Interest rate = 7.85%

Rate of inflation = 12.3%

So, we can calculate the real interest rate by using the following method:

Real interest rate =[ (1 + Interest rate) ÷ ( 1 + inflation rate) ] - 1

By putting the value, we get,

Real interest rate =[ (1 + 0.0785) ÷ ( 1 + 0.123) ] - 1

= -3.963%

So, the purchasing power of your savings decreased by 3.963%.
