Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 50SE
Refer to the Costello Music Company problem in exercise 49.
- a. Using time series decomposition, compute the seasonal indexes for the four quarters.
- b. When does Costello Music experience the largest seasonal effect? Does this result appear reasonable? Explain.
49. Consider the Costello Music Company problem in exercise 48. The quarterly sales data follow.
| Year | Quarter I | Quarter 2 | Quarter 3 | Quarter 4 | Total Yearly Sales |
| 1 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 5 | 12 |
| 2 | 6 | 4 | 4 | 14 | 28 |
| 3 | 10 | 3 | 5 | 16 | 34 |
| 4 | 12 | 9 | 7 | 22 | 50 |
| 5 | 18 | 10 | 13 | 35 | 76 |
- a. Use the following dummy variables to develop an estimated regression equation to account for any seasonal and linear trend effects in the data: Qtr1 = 1 if Quarter 1, 0 otherwise; Qtr2 = 1 if Quarter 2, 0 otherwise; and Qtr3 = 1 if Quarter 3, 0 otherwise.
- b. Compute the quarterly forecasts for next year.
