Explanation / Answer

As Y denotes losses, given omitted variable is USA

Beta of -7700 for Canada implies that when Canada is set to 1, losses reduce by 7700*1000 = 7,700,000 as compared to when Canada is set to 0 (USA). Hence, relocating to Canada is beneficial as losses reduce by 7,700,000.

Answer: Option 3. Do spend money to locate in Canada vs USA
