regression analysis, business and finance homework help

Okay, so this is the type of assignment that you failed me last week. PLEASE research, use GRADUATE level English, don’t plagiarize, and if you can’t do the assignment, don’t sign up to do it. I’m sorry but if you can’t get this one right, I will ask for my money back and stop using you as a tutor.

As always, APA citations.

NOTE: IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THIS ASSIGNMENT, KNOW THAT I MAY HAVE FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS OR CORRECTIONS BY THE PROFESSOR, MUST BE FLEXIBLE IN RESPONDING TO THE QUESTION. SPECIALLY IF YOU ARE WRONG

DQ 1

Managerial decision-making is forward-looking and predictive.

Predictive power suggests certain results. Whether building a stock model intended to predict stock price or a business decision model, economic models are more an art than a science.

Provide examples of different Excel-type models used by companies to make economic-type decisions.

DQ 2

Regression analysis is a tool for building statistical models that characterize relationships among a dependent variable [sales, for example] and one or more independent variables [price, for example].

Find real world data, perhaps from a company’s annual report or from government sources, then use Excel to develop a simple or multiple regression analysis with a dependent and an independent variable.

Describe, explain, discuss, and comment on the regression’s predictive, strategic value.
