Part A
In this, the non-linear equation is given so, we have to convert it in a linear form. If the model is
Power Function, then we have to taken the log on both sides to convert it into linear function.
Part B
In this the transformed regression is
Part C

Presample missing value lagged residuals set to zero.
LOG(REAL_RETAIL_PRICE_OF_ATTA_PER
_LB__X3_) -0.030264 0.150612 -0.200944 0.8431
LOG(RETAIL_PRICE_OF_MILLET_PER_LB_
_X5_) -0.104788 0.302426 -0.346493 0.7332
LOG(WEIGHTED_AVERAGE_RETAIL_PRIC
E_OF_ATTA_SUBSTITUTES_PER_LB__X6_
) 0.277948 0.470258 0.591055 0.5623
LOG(RETAIL_PRICE_OF_RICE_PER_LB__
X4_) -0.151043 0.245254 -0.615863 0.5461
RESID(-1) 0.409679 0.242643 1.688402 0.1096
RESID(-2) -0.320917 0.257089 -1.248270 0.2289
Null hypothesis for this test is no serial correlation at up to 2 lags. If the value is less than 0.05, null
hypothesis will be rejected and if the value is grater than 0.05, then null hypothesis would be
accepted. We can say that there is no problem of auto correlation.
Now we can see that there is no impact of past two years on the current year because RESID (-1) is
greater than 0.05, hence RESID (-2) is also greater than 0.05, hence in both cases null hypothesis will
be accepted.
