This project paper is to determine the relationship between Proton car sales and its independent variables which are the gross domestic product (GDP), inflation rate (CP) and interest rate (BLR). This study uses the Simple Linear Regression Model in order to analyze their relationship. This study is conducted for 9 years in a quarterly basis from the year 1997 to the year 2005. Based on the finding from the Simple Linear Regression Model, the F- Statistic values show that the models are reliable and valid for forecasting purposes. The results also show that there are no significant relationship between gross domestic product (GDP) and inflation rate (CPI) towards Proton car sales. Meanwhile, for the interest rate (BLR) it shows there is a significant relationship between interest rate (BLR) towards Proton car sales. This research study is being analyzed and interpreted using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) Software, Version 14.0.
