Answer:
January = 182 units
February = 173 units
March = 166 units
Explanation:
I suppose that the demand equation is F(t) = 70 + 5t
month t
June last year 0
July last year 1
August last year 2
September last year 3
October last year 4
November last year 5
December last year 6
January this year 7
February this year 8
March this year 9
April this year 10
May this year 11
June this year 12
July this year 13
August this year 14
September this year 15
October this year 16
November this year 17
December this year 18
January next year 19
February next year 20
March next year 21
tend analysis:
January = 70 + (5 x 19) = 165
February = 70 + (5 x 20) = 170
March = 70 + (5 x 21) = 175
since the seasonal relatives are 1.1, 1.02, and 0.95, the expected demand should be:
January = 165 x 1.1 = 181.5 ≈ 182 units
February = 170 x 1.02 = 173.4 ≈ 173 units
March = 175 x 0.95 = 166.25 ≈ 166 units
