Question

Given the following data on the number of pints of ice cream sold at a local ice cream store for a 10-period time frame:

Period Demand 2 MA Forecast Error square 2 MA= (De- Forecast)2
1 200    
2 245    
3 190 (200+245)/2=222.5  
4 270 (245+190)/2=217.5 (270-217.5)2=2756.25
5 280 (190+270)/2=230 (280-230)2=2500
6 300 (270+280)/2=275 (300-275)2=625
7 320 (280+300)/2=290 (320-290)2=900
8 340 (300+320)/2=310 (340-310)2=900
9 320 (320+340)/2=330 (320-330)2=100
10 280 (340+320)/2=330 (280-330)2=2500

 

Use a 3-period moving average to forecast demand for period 11
