Performance Task 2
1. From the data above, using a 3-month, 4-month, and 5-month moving average, forecast
the demand for the next period.
3 Month
F(April) = D(March) + D(February) + D(January)
3
F(April) = 68 + 57 + 33 = 158 = 52.67
3 3
F(April) = 52.67
4 Month
F(May) = D(April) + D(March) + D(February) + D(January)
4
F(May) = 78 + 68 + 57 + 33 = 236 = 59
4 4
F(May) = 59
5 Month
F(June) = D(May) + D(April) + D(March) + D(February) + D(January)
5
F(June) = 69 + 78 + 68 + 57 + 33 = 305 = 61
5 5
F(June) = 61
2. From the data above, determine the sales forecast for November using the data below
with the following assigned weights: 40% for October, 30% for August, 20% for
September, and 10% in August, consider the monthly demand for good X of ABC Firm.
WF(November) = (0.40) 118 + (0.30) 110 + (0.20) 94 + (0.10) 82
WF(November) = 47.2 + 33 + 18.8 + 8.2 = 107.2
WF(November) = 107.2
2. From the data above, estimate the demand for the next period using regression.
Month Period (t) Demand (X) Xt
January 1 33 33 1
February 2 57 114 4
March 3 68 204 9
April 4 78 312 16
May 5 69 345 25
June 6 77 462 36
July 7 82 574 49
August 8 94 752 64
September 9 110 990 81
October 10 118 1,180 100
TOTAL 55 786 4,966 385
X = 786 = 78.6
10
t = 55 = 5.5
10
b = 4,966 – 10 (78.6) (5.5)
385 – 10 (5.5)²
b = 4,966 – 4,323 = 643
385 – 10 (30.25) 82.5
b = 7.79
a = 78.66 – (7.79) (5.5) = 42.85
a = 78.66 – 42.85 = 35.81
Hence Ft = 35.81 + 7.79t
F11 = 35.81 + 7.79 (11)
F11 = 35.81 + 85.69 = 121.5
F11 = 121.5
