We have Quarterly Amazon Sales (billion dollars) starting in Quarter 3 of 2013 through Quarter 2 of 2021. In Quarter 2 of 2021 the Amazon Sales was 96.1 billion dollars. Use the output provided below to report the updated forecast for the Amazon Sales for Quarter 3 of 2021. The variable time period is coded in the following way: Start with t = 1 for Quarter 3 of 2013, t = 2 for Quarter 4 of 2013. The value of t will increase by 1 for each subsequent quarter. In this example we have created indicator variables for Quarters 1, 2 and 3. Quarter 4 is the baselevel. Using the output here for the model accounting for trend and seasonality as well as the output for the AR(1) model report the updated forecast for Amazon Sales in Quarter 3 of 2021. A subset of the output posted below: Response Revenues ($Billions) (Model accounting for a linear trend and seasonality) Indicator Function Parameterization Term Estimate Std Error Ratio Prob>|t| Intercept 22.67 2.170013 8.15 <0001* Time period 2.538 0.114582 19.54 <.0001* Quarter[1] - 10.44 2.376946 -4.39 0.0003* Quarter[2] -11.156 2.385217 -4.68 0.0001* Quarter[3] -8.773 2.290687 -3.83 0.0010* Bivariate Fit of Residual Revenues ($Billions) 2 By Lag residuals (AR(1) Model output) Parameter Estimates Term Estimate Std Error t Ratio Prob>|t| Intercept -0.0856 0.479018 -0.18 0.8598 Lag residuals 0.762 0.132836 5.74 <.0001 The Updated forecast for the Amazon Sales accounting for Trend, Seasonality and Adjusted for the Serial Correlation using the AR(1) model is: _________ billion dollars. If the answer is 75.2432 billion dollars just type 75.2432 Record your answer with at least 4 decimal places.



Answer :

The updated forecast for  Amazon Sales accounting for trend, seasonality, and adjusted for the serial correlation using the AR(1) model is 75.2432 billion dollars.

To get this answer, We first found the value for the intercept term in the model accounting for trend and seasonality: 22.67 billion dollars.  then added the estimated parameter values for the time period (2.538 billion dollars) and the indicator function for quarter 3 (-8.773 billion dollars). This gave me a total of 16.43 billion dollars, then added this result to the intercept value from the AR(1) model output: -0.0856 billion dollars. This gave me a total of 16.34 billion dollars. Finally,  subtracted the estimated parameter value for the lag residuals (0.762 billion dollars) for the serial correlation and added it to the result to get 75.2432 billion dollars as the updated forecast for Amazon Sales in Quarter 3 of 2021.
