Question

Please check the documents uploaded, which have my answers to the below questions. Please check if my answers are correct, especially the graph for the 2nd question, as I am unsure which one is correct. 

(USE ONLY EXCEL SHEET FOR DATA,  FORMULAS, and the GRAPHS)

  1. For the following list of data (number of sold cars in every year ) , apply “exponential smoothing with trend” for all the years below. (i.e find the Forecast including trend) :
    • case1 use :  α= 0.01     and β = 0.3
    • case2 use:   for  α= 0.1     and β = 0.05
    • Calculate MAD for both cases.
    • Decide which case values are better and why?

Assume trend is zero for the 2012 years.

Since the MAD value for case 2 (41.3) is lower than the MAD value for case 1 (55.3), this suggests that
the forecasting method used in case 2 (where a=0.1 and B=0.05) is more accurate than the forecasting
method used in case 1 (where a=0.01 and B=0.3).
