The maker of a leading brand low-calorie microwave food estimated the following demand equation for its product using data from 26 supermarkets around the country for the month of April:


Q= -5,200 - 42P + 20Px + 5.21 + 0.20A + 0.25M
(2.002) (17.5) (6.2) (2.5) (0.09) (0.21)
Rsquared =0.55 n=26 F = 4.88

Assume following values:

Q = quantity sold per month
P(in cents) = price of the product = 500
Px(in cents) = price of leading competitor's product = 600
I (in dollars) = per capita income of the standard metropolitan statistical area (SMSA) in which the supermarket is located = 5,500
A (in dollars) monthly advertising expenditure = 10,000
M = number of microwave ovens sold in the SMSA in which the supermarket is located = 5,000
