P -4.538 1.262 -3.595 0.001076
M -0.0034 0.001 -2.655 0.012263
R -3.75 1.377 -2.720 0.010475
a. Discuss whether you think these regression results will generate good sales estimates for B.U. LLC, rap.

c. What are the values for the own-price, income, and cross-price elasticities?
d. If P increases by 4%, what would happen (in percentage terms) to quantity demanded?
e. If M increases by 3%, what would happen (in percentage terms) to quantity demanded?
f. If PR decreases by 5%, what would happen (in percentage terms) to quantity demanded?
