Yˆt =  = predicted sales (in millions of dollars) in quarter t
7.50 =  = quarterly sales (in millions of dollars) when t = 0
t =  = time period (quarter) where the fourth quarter of 2012 = 0, first quarter of 2013 = 1, second quarter of 2013 = 2, etc.
D1t =  = 1 for first-quarter observations; 0 otherwise
D2t =  = 1 for second-quarter observations; 0 otherwise
