1. Calculate real GDP for 2004 and 2005 using 2004 prices. To calculate the real GDP we use the constant price for 2004 which was $20. Real GDP (base year 2004) 2004 ($20 per CD x 100 CD’s) + ($110 per racquet x 200 racquets) = 24000 2005 ($20 per CD x 120 CD’s) + ($110 per racquet x 210 racquets) = 25500 By what percentage did real GDP grow? Because the Real GDP was $24000 in 2004 and $25500 in 2005‚ real GDP grew by ($25500 - $24000) / $24000 = 0.0625 or 6.25% 2. Calculate the

Hence +1 is also needed So: y = 2x + 1 Here are some example values: http://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/linear-equations

Plots Linear regression is a crucial tool in identifying and defining key elements influencing data. Essentially‚ the researcher is using past data to predict future direction. Regression allows you to dissect and further investigate how certain variables affect your potential output. Once data has been received this information can be used to help predict future results. Regression is a form of forecasting that determines the value of an element on a particular situation. Linear regression

Describe the payout policy of Linear Technologies historically. Describe Linear’s current cash position and its financing needs. The company initiated its dividend in 1993 with a relatively conservative payout ratio of 15%‚ based on a quarterly dividend of $0.05/share/quarter ($0.00625 split adjusted as per Exhibit 3). As of 3Q2003‚ the dividend is also $0.05/share/quarter‚ adjusted for stock splits‚ which translates into a payout ratio of . The payout ratio is currently 27.5% on an as adjusted
