The stock price, returns on equity, and dividend rates on a randomly selected day for 16 electric utility stocks are provided in the file P14_15.xlsx. Estimate a multiple regression equation using the given data. Interpret each of the estimated regression coefficients. Also, interpret the standard error of estimate and the R-square value for these data.
