Question:
An investment analyst wants to examine the relationship between a mutual fund's return, its turnover rate, and its expense ratio. She randomly selects 10 mutual funds and estimates: Return = 0 + 1Turnover + 2Expense + , where Return is the average five-year return (in %), Turnover is the annual holdings turnover (in %), Expense is the annual expense ratio (in %), and is the random error component. A portion of the regression results is shown in the accompanying table.

a. Predict the return for a mutual fund that has an annual holdings turnover of 60% and an annual expense ratio of 1.5%.
b. Interpret the slope coefficient for the variable Expense.
c. Calculate the standard error of the estimate.
d. Calculate and interpret the coefficient of determination.
