The following linear demand specification is estimated for Conlan Enterprises, a price-setting firm: Q=a+bP+CM+dPR where Q is the quantity demanded of the product Conlan Enterprises sells, P is the price of that product, M is income, and PR is the price of a related product. The results of the estimation are presented below: DEPENDENT VARIABLE: Q OBSERVATIONS: VARIABLE INTERCEPT P M PR 32 R-SQUARE 0.7984 F-RATIO 36.14 P-VALUE ON F 0.0001 PARAMETER STANDARD ESTIMATE ERROR T-RATIO P-VALUE 846.3000 76.7000 11.03 0.0001 -8.6000 2.6000 -3.31 0.0026 0.0184 -4.3075 0.0048 3.83 0.0007 1.2300 -3.50 0.0016 Assume that the income is $10,000, the price of the related good is $40, and Conlan chooses to set the price of this product at $30.
