Order the answer to: Linear equations for the consumption and saving schedules take t
| Question | Linear equations for the consumption and saving schedules take the general form C = a + bY and S = – a + (1 – b)Y, where C, S, and Y are consumption, saving, and national income, respectively. The constant a represents the vertical intercept, and b represents the slope of the consumption schedule. a. Use the following data to substitute numerical values for a and b in the consumption and saving equations. b. What is the economic meaning of b? Of (1 – b)? National Consumption Income (Y) (C) $ 0 ………… $ 80 100 ………… 140 200 ………… 200 300 ………… 260 400 ………… 320 c. Suppose that the amount of saving that occurs at each level of national income falls by $20 but that the values of b and (1 – b) remain unchanged. Restate the saving and consumption equations for the new numerical values, and cite a factor that might have caused the change. |

Order the answer to: Assume there are no investment projects in the economy that
| Question | Assume there are no investment projects in the economy that yield an expected rate of return of 25 percent or more. But suppose there are $10 billion of investment projects yielding expected returns of between 20 and 25 percent; another $10 billion yielding between 15 and 20 percent; another $10 billion between 10 and 15 percent; and so forth. Cumulate these data and present them graphically, putting the expected rate of return on the vertical axis and the amount of investment on the horizontal axis. What will be the equilibrium level of aggregate investment if the real interest rate is? (a) 15 percent, (b) 10 percent, (c) 5 percent? Explain why this curve is the investment demand curve. |

| Question | Suppose a handbill publisher can buy a new duplicating machine for $500 and the duplicator has a 1-year life. The machine is expected to contribute $550 to the year’s net revenue. What is the expected rate of return? If the real interest rate at which funds can be borrowed to purchase the machine is 8 percent, will the publisher choose to invest in the machine? Explain. |

| Question | Complete the following table: a. Show the consumption and saving schedules graphically. b. Find the break-even level of income. Explain how it is possible for households to dissave at very low income levels. c. If the proportion of total income consumed (APC) decreases and the proportion saved (APS) increases as income rises, explain both verbally and graphically how the MPC and MPS can be constant at various levels ofincome. |

| Question | The aim of this assignment is to investigate and visualise data using various data science tools. It will test your ability to: 1. read data files in Python and extract related data from those files; 2. wrangle and process data into the required formats; 3. use various graphical and non-graphical tools to performing exploratory data analysis and visualisation; 4. use basic tools for managing and processing big data; and 5. communicate your findings in your report. You will need to submit two separate files (Note: Submitting a zipped file will attract penalty of 10%): 1. A report in PDF containing your answers to all the questions. Note that you can use Word or other word processing software to format your submission. Just save the final copy to a PDF before submitting. Make sure to include code, the output and any screenshots/images of the graphs you generate in order to justify your answers to all the questions. (Marks will be assigned to reports based on their correctness and clarity. — For example, higher marks will be given to reports containing graphs with appropriately labelled axes.) 2. The Python code is a Jupyter notebook file (idnumber_FIT5145_A1.ipynb) that you wrote to analyse and plot the data. (Note that the entire assignment should be completed using python) Assignment Tasks: The way we supply and use energy in Australia is changing. To understand these changes, to plan for Australia’s energy future, and to make sound policy and investment decisions, we need timely, accurate, comprehensive and readily-accessible energy data. The Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources is responsible for compiling and publishing Australia’s official energy statistics and balances . 1 The is updated annually and consists of historical energy consumption, production and trade statistics. In this task, you are required to explore the statistics covering all electricity generation in Australia. This includes by power plants, and by businesses and households for their own use, in all states and territories. This also includes both on and off grid generation. We have extracted the data from the original files and restricted it to a specific time period. download the dataset for this assignment from the following link: |

Order the answer to: demonstrate your understanding and mastery of programming in Python using data science tools,…
| Question | In this project, you will demonstrate your understanding and mastery of programming in Python using data science tools, in addition to your understanding of the different research methods that use data science. What you learnt so far should cover almost everything you will need, so if you are stuck then read through the notebooks again. Some of your tutorials and exercises may be also relevant. For Problem 4, you may need to consult the “Bit by Bit” book1 . If you are still unsure, then have a look online. Google and Stack OverFlow are your friends. You must use Python only; MATLAB and Excel are not acceptable. For Problem 3, using command line for preprocessing is acceptable, but you will need to provide your script in a .sh file! The grade of this project will be calculated out of 100, and it will contribute 70% towards your overall grade in the module. The following aspects need to be shown: ? Manipulation of different data structures including dictionaries and data frames. ? Preparing and preprocessing data. ? Doing a basic plot, and changing plot markers, colors, etc. ? Improving and extending analysis. ? Showing an understanding of different research methods and designs for using data science. ? Showing the ability to critique some scientific approaches. Your submission will be a compressed file (.zip) containing: 1. A copy of your Python script named solution_code.ipynb (done in Jupyter Notebook). Your scripts must be sufficient to reproduce your answers to Problems 1-3. 2. A PDF file named P4_answers.pdf that contains your answers to Problem 4. The deadline is Tuesday 28th April at 3:00 PM (UTC). |
