Estimate a multiple regression model using the given data. Include linear terms as well as an interaction term involving the return on average equity (X1) and annual dividend rate (X2).
b. Which of the three explanatory variables (X1, X2, and X1X2) should be included in a final version of this regression model? Explain. Does your conclusion make sense in light of your knowledge of corporate finance?
