Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 55SE
Refer to the Hudson Marine data in exercise 53.
- a. Deseasonalize the data and use the deseasonalized time series to identify the trend.
- b. Use the results of part (a) to develop a quarterly forecast for next year based on trend.
- c. Use the seasonal indexes developed in exercise 54 to adjust the forecasts developed in part (b) to account for the effect of season.
53. Refer to the Hudson Marine problem in exercise 52. Suppose the quarterly sales values for the seven years of historical data are as follows.
| Year | Quarter 1 | Quarter 2 | Quarter 3 | Quarter 4 | Total Yearly Sales |
| 1 | 6 | 15 | 10 | 4 | 35 |
| 2 | 10 | 18 | 15 | 7 | 50 |
| 3 | 14 | 26 | 23 | 12 | 75 |
| 4 | 19 | 28 | 25 | 18 | 90 |
| 5 | 22 | 34 | 28 | 21 | 105 |
| 6 | 24 | 36 | 30 | 20 | 110 |
| 7 | 28 | 40 | 35 | 27 | 130 |
- a. Use the following dummy variables to develop an estimated regression equation to account for any season 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.

- John Kittle, an independent insurance agent, uses a five-year moving average to forecast the number of claims made in a single year for one of the large insurance companies he sells for. He has just discovered that a clerk in his employ incorrectly entered the number of claims made four years ago as 1,400 when it should have been 1,200.a. What adjustment should Mr. Kittle make in next year’s forecast to take into account the corrected value of the number of claims four years ago?b. Suppose that Mr. Kittle used simple exponential smoothing with a = .2instead of moving averages to determine his forecast. What adjustment is now required in next year’s forecast?
