Question 3 Metropolitan Hospital has estimated its average monthly bed needs as N = 1,000 + 9X X = time period (months); January 2002 = 0 N = monthly bed needs Assume that no new hospital additions are expected in the area in the foreseeable future. The following monthly monthly seasonal adjustment factors have been estimated, using data from the past 5 years: ADJUSTMENT FACTOR MONTH X = time period (months) Jan + 5% 5 years X 5 = 60 Apr - 15% 60 + 3 = 63 Jul + 4% 63 + 3 = 66 Nov - 5% 66 + 4 = 70 De c - 25% 70 + 1 = 71 a) Forecast Metropolitan's bed demand for Jan, Apr, Jul, Nov and Dec 2007.

Question 4 Corporate profits (Pt - 1) for all firms in Indula were about $100 billion. GDP for the nation is composed of consumption C, investment I, and government spending G. It is anticipated that Indula's federal, state and local governments will spend in the range of $200 billion next year. On the basis of an analysis of recent economic activity in Indula, consumption expenditures are assumes to be $100 billion plus 80% of national income. National income is equal to GDP minus taxes T. Taxes are estimated to be at a rate of about 30% of  GDP. Finally corporate investment have historically equalled $30 billion plus 90% of last year's corporate profits (Pt - 1) a) Construct 5 equation econometric model of the state of Indula. There will be a consumption equation, an investment equation, a tax receipt equation, an equation representing the GDP identity, and a national income equation. (1) GDP = C + I + G (2) C = 100 + 0.8Y (3) Y = GDP - T Y = Income (4) T = 0.3GDP (5) I = 30 + 0.9(Pt - 1)

b) Assuming all random disturbance average to zero, solve the system of equations to arrive at next year's forecast values for C, I, T GDP and Y. (PT - 1) = $100 billion G = $200 billion I = 30 + 0.9(Pt - 1) I = 30 + 0.9(100) I= $ 120 billion C = 100 + 0.8Y 100 + 0.8(GDP - 0.3GDP) 100 + 0.56GDP GDP = 0.44 GDP = GDP = GDP =

100 + 0.56GDP + 120 + 200 420 420 / 0.44 $ 955 billion

C = 100 + 0.56(955) C= $ 635 billion T = 0.3(GDP) T = 0.3(955) T= $ 287 billion Y = GDP - T Y = 955 - 287

Y= $

Question 9 Saving-Mart developed the following quaterly sales forecasting model: Yt = 8.25 + 0.125t - 2.75D1t + 0.25D2t + 3.5D3t Yt = predicted sales ($million) in quarter t 8.25 = quaterly sales ($million) when t = 0 t = time period (quarter) where the 4th quarter of 2002 = 0, 1st quarter of 2003 = 1, 2nd quarter of 2003 = 2. D1t = 1 for 1st quarter observations

D2t = 1 for 2nd quarter obse

0 otherwise

0 otherwise

D3t = 1 for 3rd quarter observations 0 otherwise Forecast Saving-Mart's sales of patio and lawn furniture for each quarter of 2010.
