Answer:

d. It is best measured using the statistic variance inflation factor (VIF).

Explanation:

Multicollinearity is an important issue in multiple regression model, having many independent/ explanatory variables. Multicollinearity is the situation in which two or more independent variables are highly correlated. It is problematic because it increases the standard error of independent variable coefficient & undermines its statistical significance

Variance Inflation Factor [VIF] is a check & corrective measure of multicollinearity.

VIF as a multicollinearity check : It quantifies the correlation between one explanatory variable with other explanatory variables.VIF = 1 implies there is no multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables); VIF upto 5 implies there is moderate multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables). VIF > 5 implies high multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables)
VIF as a multicollinearity correction : Calculating $Var (\beta j )$ = σ^2 / $[TSS j (1 - R^2j)]$ ; where TSS = total sum of square of variable j , σ^2 = j variance, R^2 j = R^2 from regressing all other independent variable on variable j

Assume personal tax rates are lower than corporate tax rates. From a tax-paying shareholder point of view, how should a firm spe

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: e. repurchase shares

Explanation:

If the personal tax rates are lower than corporate tax rates then the company should engage in an activity that would put money into the pockets of shareholders such that they would take advantage of the lower personal tax rates.

The best way to do that would be a share repurchase. The company would probably buy at above market rates which would give shareholders capital gain and they wouldn't have to pay much taxes on it as personal rates are lower.

Assume an analyst has been hired to estimate the price elasticity of demand for hamburger (which sells for about $2.30 per pound

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

Price elasticity of the demand evaluates the demand responsiveness after the change or variation in the product own price.

The formula for computing the coefficient of price elasticity, is the factors which affect the elasticity and also elasticity is vital for business when deciding the prices.

So, Filet mignon(F) sells for $20 per pound when compared to that of hamburger (H) which sells the product for $2.30 per pound. F have the higher price as compare to the H, therefore, the coefficient of the price elasticity of demand in absolute value will be high or larger for F than that of H.
