answer
If the price of a good or service decreases, what happens to the firm's demand
curve?
There is a downward movement along the demand curve
In contrast to simple regression, multiple regression considers:
several independent variables rather than one.
A firm's demand equation is given by: Q = 60 - 60P + 2Y, where Q is quantity, P is
price, and Y is income. If price increases by $2 and income increases by $80, then
quantity demanded will:
increase by 40 units
Managerial economics can best be defined as the:
analysis of major management decisions using economics tools

During our spring 2016 Economics 4357 class, the total number of possible
points to earn is __________.
500
A time-series model attempts to identify:
patterns of changes in a single variable over time.
If the sample variance of a set of observations is 225, its sample standard
deviation is equal to _____.
wrong answer
A firm's demand equation is given by: Q = 60 - 60P + 2Y, where Q is quantity, P is
price, and Y is income. If price increases by $1 and income increases by $80, then
quantity demanded will:
increase by 100 units
The government is deciding whether it should build a veteran's hospital in an
urban area. It will choose to build the hospital only if:
the total benefits from the hospital exceed total costs.

answer
If the demand for a good is price-elastic, a cut in price will:
lead to an increase in quantity demanded and an increase in the firm's revenue.
The demand for a product is given by Q = 600 - 30P. At P = $15, the firm sells:
150 units
A good that has highly elastic demand is most likely to:
have a large number of substitutes.
A regression coefficient measures:
the change in the dependent variable due to a unit change in a particular independent
variable.
,When Amy was a student, she consumed beer with her dinner. Over the years, as
her income increased, she substituted beer for a glass of wine. From this
information, one can imply that:
Amy considers beer an inferior good.
If a study examines several different markets at the same time, and compares
outcomes with conditions in each market, it is specifically using:
wrong answer

Consideration of benefits v. costs.
Short-term v. long-term results of decisions.
Risk v. returns of decisions.

have ___________.
R = 170 Q - 20 Q2
If we use the equation, P = 125 - 25 Q, then to generate revenue function we have
__________.
R = 125Q - 25Q2

A cosmetics company is conducting a second-year review of one of its newest
products. The marketing department expects that the firm will continue to earn
profits from the sale of the product in the third year as it did in the past two years.
Senior management, however, feels that the profit projections would vary based
on other factors such as the price of the competitor's products, the actual level of
sales, and the possibility of cost reductions. In other words, the senior
management is undertaking _____.
a sensitive analysis
A firm's demand curve is given by Q = 800 - 2P, where P = price and Q = quantity.
