Within the context of the recently proposed scale-covariant cosmology we present in this paper: (a) the full solution to Einstein gravitational equations in atomic units for a matter dominated universe, (b) the study of the magnitude versus redshift relation for elliptical galaxies, (c) the derivation of the evolutionary parameter used in (b), (d) the isophotal angular diameters versus magnitude relation for QSOs and their m versus red-shifts, and finally (f) the N (m) versus magnitude relation for QSOs and their m versus z relation.The results, both in graphical and tabular form, are presented for the four gauges (i.e., relation between G and the scale function ..beta.. (t)) introduced and studied in previous works.No contradiction between the new theory and the data is found with any of the tests studied. If we chose the gauges with epsilon
