Question

A study of expenditures on food in cities resulting in the following equation:             
            
ln E = 0.693 ln G + 0.224 ln N

where E is Food Expenditures; G is total expenditures on goods and services; and N is the size of the family. This evidence implies:

that as total expenditures on goods and services rises, food expenditures falls.

that a one-percent increase in family size increases food expenditures .693%.

that a one-percent increase in family size increases food expenditures .224%.

that a one-percent increase in total expenditures increases food expenditures 1%.

that as family size increases, food expenditures go down.

please show how you come up with the answer , do not just guess !!!

that as total expenditures on goods and services rises, food expenditures falls.

that a one-percent increase in family size increases food expenditures .693%.

that a one-percent increase in family size increases food expenditures .224%.

that a one-percent increase in total expenditures increases food expenditures 1%.

that as family size increases, food expenditures go down.

please show how you come up with the answer , do not just guess !!!

Explanation / Answer

that a one-percent increase in family size increases food expenditures .224%

reason: look at the coefficient of ln N, it is .224, thus if ln N increase by 1 %, E will increase by .224 %
