c.

Computing discrepancies:

Step1: Add a column named “Average” in “Region 1” sheet. To compute average for every month for “Region 1”: Use the formula “((B7-B6)+(C7-C6)+(D7-D6)+(E7-E6)+(F7-F6)+(G7-G6)+(H7-H6))/7” to compute monthly average for “Jan-18”. Similarly calculate average for every month.

Explanation of Solution

d.

Computing Adjusted forecast:

Step1:

In order to compute adjusted forecast, find the average of Forecast sales and Actual sales for every month, and total forecast sales for each month.

Compute Average Forecast sale by using the below formula:

Avg. of Forecast Sale (Avg of FS) =(ForecastSale(product1+...+product7))/7(Avg of FS) =AVERAGE(B5:H5)(Avg of FS) =10+20+5+12+20+5+34=>15.14

Compute Average Actual sale by using the below formula:

Avg. of Actual Sale (Avg of AS) =(ActualSale(product1+...+product7)/7)(Avg of AS)=AVERAGE(B6:H6)(Avg of AS)=12+21+5+12+21+5+36=>16.00

Compute monthly forecast sales total by using the below formula:

Monthly Forecast sale total=ForecastSale(product1+

Explanation of Solution

e.

Total sales projections:

Step 1: Take a fresh sheet and name it as “graph”. In that sheet, calculate total sales projections for every region. For region 1, the total projection sale is calculated by adding all the values from the column “Monthly Forecast Sale total”. Do this for the two other regions.
