Since the beginning of the year, the purchase manager at a department store has been recording sales data to be used to compute 4-period moving averages to forecast sales for an upcoming month. Sales data for the months of January through September are reported in the table below. Month January February March April May June July August September Sales 21 20 39 22 29 14 42 28 27 Computed forecast values are not rounded.

Specify the MAD as a whole number by rounding. Compute the mean squared error (MSE) for the four-period moving average forecasts. Specify the MSE as a whole number by rounding. Compute the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) for the four-period moving average forecasts. Specify the MAPE as a whole number by rounding. CHECK ANSWER
3) Seasonality: The following data represent dinner sales at a busy restaurant. Use linear regression to predict sales for each day of week 5 and the total sales for week 5. Estimate the percentage of weekly sales that occur over the weekend (include Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). Finally, determine which days of the week are increasing and decreasing in sales, using the slopes of the LR lines.

1. The number of bushels of apples sold at a roadside fruit stand over a 12-day period were as follows: Day Numbar Sold Day Number Sold 25 35 31 8. 32 29 9. 10 38 33 34 37 40 37 32 11 12 If a two-period moving average has been used to forecast sales, what were the daily forecasts starting with the forecast for day 3? If a four-period moving average has been used, what were the forecasts for eacn uay starting with day 5? Plot the original data and each set of forecasts on the same graph. Which forecast has the greater tendency to smooth? Which forecast has the better ability to respond quickly to changes? What does use of the term sales instead of demand imply? a. b. C. 123 4 56
