Consider the model showing the quarterly profits-sales behavior in a company (profits and sales figures are in thousands of dollars).Q2, Q3, and Q4 indicate the second, third, and fourth quarters. Thus, Q2 = 1 for second quarter and is 0 otherwise.Q3 = 1 for third quarter and is 0 otherwise.Q4 = 1 for fourth quarter and is 0 otherwise.All coefficients are statistically significant at the 5% level. How would you interpret the sales coefficient?
