Question

Please show full work so i can understand. 5-17Data collected on the yearly demand for 50-pound bags of fertilizer at Wallace Garden Supply are shown in the following table. Develop a 3-year moving average to forecast sales. Then estimate demand again with a weighted moving average in which sales in the most recent year are given a weight of 2 and sales in the other 2 years are each given a weight of 1. Which method do you think is better?

Data collected on the yearly demand for 50-pound bags of fertilizer at Wallace Garden Supply are shown in the following table: Year | Demand for Fertilizer (1,000s of Bags) -----|------------------------------------- 1 | 4 2 | 6 3 | 4 4 | 5 5 | 10 6 | 8 7 | 7 8 | 9 9 | 12 10 | 14 11 | 15 a. Develop a 3-year moving average to forecast sales. Then estimate demand again with a weighted moving average in which sales in the most recent year are given a weight of 2 and sales in the other 2 years are each given a weight of 1. b. Use exponential smoothing with a smoothing constant of 0.3 to forecast the demand for fertilizer. Assume that last period's forecast for year 1 is 5,000 bags. c. Determine the optimal smoothing constant in part b.
