Question

10 pts.) A company developed the following regression model to forecast quarterly prices of one of its major products for 2013 and 2014. P = a + bt + c1D1 + c2D2 + c3D3 + e. Where, P = price of the product, t is the trend variable, D1 is a dummy variable for quarter I, D2 is a dummy variable for quarter II, and D3 is a dummy for quarter III. In quarter I: D1 = 1, D2 = 0, and D3 = 0. In quarter II: D2 = 1, D1 = 0, and D3 = 0 In quarter III: D3 = 1, D1 = 0, and D2 = 0. The company estimated this model using 35 quarterly observations for the period 2004II
