Question 2

The multiple regression model represents pricing for residential housing in a certain market. Predicted Price  = 19,856.56 + 6,985.25 bedrooms + 87.53 square foot. A house in the local market has 5 bedrooms and 3,500 square feet of living area. Use the multiple regression model to determine the predicted price and the residual if the house sells for 360,200.

Answer to Question 1

c
RATIONALE: In the Bass forecasting model, parameter m refers to the number of people estimated to eventually adopt the new product.

Answer to Question 2

Predicted Price = 361,138, Residual = 937.81
RATIONALE: Predicted Price  = 19,856.56 + 6985.25 bedrooms + 87.53 square foot = 19,856.56 + 6985.25(5) + 87.53(3,500) = 361,137.81 . Residual = actual - predicted = 360,200  361,137.81 = 937.81.
