b. Use the following dummy variables to develop an estimated regression equation to account for any seasonal effects in the data: Qtr1=1 if Quarter 1, 0 otherwise; Qtr2 = 1 if Quarter 2, 0 otherwise; Qtr3= 1 if Quarter 3, 0 otherwise. Round your answers (in thousands of dollars) to whole number. Revenue = Qtrl + Qtr2 + Qtr3 Based only on the seasonal effects in the data, compute estimates of quarterly sales for year 6. Round your answers to whole number. Quarter 1 forecast $ Quarter 2 forecast $ Quarter 3 forecast $ Quarter 4 forecast c. Let Period 1 to refer to the observation in quarter 1 of year 1; Period=2 to refer to the observation in quarter 2 of year 1;... and Period=20 to refer to the observation in quarter 4 of year 3. Using the dummy variables defined in part (b) and Period, develop an estimated regression equation to account for seasonal effects and any linear trend in the time series. Round your answers (in thousands of dollars) to whole number. Enter negative value as negative number. The regression equation is: thousands thousands thousands thousands Revenue Qtrl + Qtr2+ Qtr3 + Period Based upon the seasonal effects in the data and linear trend, compute estimates of quarterly sales for year 6. Round your answers to whole number. Quarter 1 forecast $ Quarter 2 forecast $ Quarter 3 forecast $ Quarter 4 forecast $ thousands thousands thousands thousands
