Question 10 GFT decided to statistically test the idea that costs increased

Question 10 GFT decided to statistically test the idea that costs increased after month 15 (for what ever reason) using a linear regression model that includes a step cost to capture the apparent increase after month 15. The model they estimated is: Total Costs = bo+b # of steps + b the number of clients bo is the estimate of monthly fixed costs b is the cost per step. For months 1 to 15 the number of steps -0 and For for months 16 to 30 the number of steps = 1 bz is the variable cost per client The linear regression results were: Variable Constant Steps Coef. Estimate 17,353.6 12,203.9 Std Error 3,398.42 t-Statistic 5.1 1,220.17 10.0 # of Clients 37.77 5.52 6.8 Adj R = .85 10 pts Based on the regression results and assuming that GFT increases the price per tour to $110, what is the total forecasted operating profit for a future month with 600 clients? Round to the nearest $1.00.
