Let Period t=1 refer to the observation in quarter 1 of year 1; Period t=2 refer to the observation in quarter 2 of year 1; ... and Period t=20 refer to the observation in quarter 4 of year 5. Using the dummy variables defined in part (b) and Period (t), develop an estimated regression equation to account for seasonal effects and any linear trend in the time series. Based upon the seasonal effects on the data and linear trend, compute the estimates of quarterly sales for year 6. Report the estimate of sales for Year 6: Quarter 1, Quarter 2, Quarter 3, and Quarter 4 Round to a whole number
Interpret the coefficients of your regression model.​ Specifically, what does the fixed component of the model mean to the consulting​ firm?   Interpret the fixed​ term, b 0b0​, if appropriate. Choose the correct answer below.     A. It is not appropriate to interpret b 0b0​, because its value is the predicted billable hours for overhead costs of 0​ dollars, but the firm cannot have overhead costs of 0 dollars associated with a client.   B. The value of b 0b0 is the predicted overhead costs for 0 billable hours.   C. It is not appropriate to interpret b 0b0​, because its value is the predicted overhead costs for 0 billable​ hours, but someone with 0 billable hours would not actually be a client of the firm.   D. For each increase of 1 unit in billable​ hours, the predicted overhead costs are estimated to increase by b 0b0.   E. The value of b 0b0 is the predicted billable hours for an overhead cost of 0 dollars.   F. For each increase of 1 unit in…
You work as a sales operations analyst in a company that makes 3D printers. Your manager has asked you to determine if a salesperson's sales volume (in terms of the number of 3D printers they sell in a year) depends on the number of client calls they make. After analyzing past data and creating a linear regression model, you've found the following relationship: No. of printers sold = 18.47 + 1.13 times the number of client calls.     1. Based on this, how many client calls will a salesperson need to make to sell 245 printers next year? a. 200 (rounds to) b. 215 (rounds to) c. 230 (rounds to) d. 240 (rounds to)
