A major brokerage company has an office in Miami, Florida. The manager of the office is evaluated based on the number of new clients generated each quarter. Data were collected that show the number of new customers added during each quarter between 2015 and 2018.

A multiple regression model was developed with the number of new customers as the dependent and the following four independent variables:

  • Period (1, …, 16): A variable that measures the trend;
  • Q1 = 1 for first quarter, Q1 = 0 otherwise;
  • Q2 = 1 for second quarter, Q2 = 0 otherwise;
  • Q3 = 1 for third quarter, Q3 = 0 otherwise.

Questions: 

 1. Explain each of the four slopes (Period, Q1, Q2, Q3). 

 2. How many new customers would you expect in the second quarter of the following year (2019)?
