6. Based on the regression output in Exhibit 3 and sales data in Exhibit 4, the forecasted value of quarterly sales for March 2016 for PoweredUP is closest to:
选项:
A.$4.193 billion.
B.$4.205 billion.
C.$4.231 billion.
解释:
C is correct. The quarterly sales for March 2016 is calculated as follows:
beginarraylln Salest-ln Salest-1=b0+b1(ln Salest-1-ln Salest-2)+b2(ln Salest−4-ln Salest-5)ln Salest−ln3.868=0.0092−0.1279(ln3.868−ln3.780)+0.7239(ln3.836−ln3.418)ln Salest=1.44251Salest=e1.44251=4.231
ln Salest-1-ln Salest-2的t检验是-1.1252,小于critical value2.03,所以接受原假设,即系数等于零。
