The following is an estimated demand function: Q = 875 + 6XA + 15Y − 5P (125) (2) (−1.2)

Where Q is quantity sold, XA is advertising expenditure (in thousands of dollars), Y is income (in thousands of dollars), and P is the good's price. The standard errors for each estimate are in parentheses. The equation has been estimated from 10 years of quarterly data. The R2 was 0.92; the F-statistic was 57; the Standard Error of the Estimate (SEE) is 25. Suppose the values of the explanatory variables next period are: Advertising = $100,000; Income = $10,000; and Price = $100.

Required:
Using the above fitted regression, what is the predicted value of sales?
