question 74

Short Answer

Consider the quarterly production data (in thousands of units) for the XYZ manufacturing company below. The normalized (adjusted) seasonal factors are winter = .9982, spring = .9263, summer = 1.139, and fall = .9365.
Based on the following deseasonalized observations (d_t), a trend line was estimated. The linear regression trend equation is tr_t = 10.1 + 1.91t.
Use the forecasting equation _t = tr₁ × sn_t and calculate the forecasted demand for the fall quarter of 1998 and summer quarter of 2000.
