The value of F6, if they use a 3- day weighted moving average is 53.4.
Explanation:
From the given data, the weighted moving average is
W1 = 0.6
W2 = 0.2
W3 = 0.2
To find the value of F6, the 3-day weighted moving average is used
The formula used to calculate is, where W is the weighted moving average and D is the days sold.
= W1 D1 + W2 D2 + W3 D3
= 0.6 (53) + 0.2(50) + 0.2(48)
= 53.4
Thus the value of F6 is 53.4.
