The quarterly sales data (number of copies sold) for a college textbook over the past three years follow.

Use a regression model with dummy variables as follows to develop an equation to account for seasonal effects in the data. Qtrl = 1 if Quarter 1, 0 otherwise; Qtr'Z = 1 if Quarter 2, 0 otherwise; Qtr3 = 1 if Quarter 3, 0 otherwise. c. Compute the quarterly forecasts for next year. (1. Let I = 1 to refer to the observation in Quarter 1 of Year 1; t = 2 to refer to the obser- vation in Quarter 2 of Year 1; . . . ; and t = 12 to refer to the observation in Quarter 4 of Year 3. Using the dummy variables dened in part (b) and also using I, develop an equation to account for seasonal effects and any linear trend in the time series. Based upon the seasonal effects in the data and linear trend, compute the quarterly forecasts for next year
