French Board Chocolate's sales for 1st quarter of 2022.

Sales = 8.50 + 0.150 TIME - 2.70 Q1 + 1.20 Q2 + 3.5 Q3

put TIME = 49, Q1 = 1, Q2 = Q3 =0

Sales = 8.50 + 0.150(49) - 2.70(1) + 1.20(0) + 3.5(0)

Sales = 8.50 + 7.35 - 2.70 + 0 + 0

Sales = 8.50 + 0.150(50) - 2.70(0) + 1.20(1) + 3.5(0)

Sales = 8.50 + 7.5 - 0 + 1.20 + 0
