The document discusses using a linear trend method to forecast demand over 19 weeks, finding the trend line equation to be Y=3.5X + 46.64 based on actual past demand data. It then uses this equation to forecast demand for weeks 1 through 19 and calculates errors between actual and forecasted demand.

Seasonal Relatives:
:

Fri = 0.79;

Sat = 1.34;

Sun = 0.87

Sum of seasonal Relatives = (0.79+1.34+0.87) = 3.00

Sunday 166 162 171 173 176 183 1031 171.83
Avg. 196.67

Seasonal Relatives,

Fri = 154/196.67 = 0.79

Sat = 263.67/196.67 = 1.34

Sun = 171.83/196.67 = 0.87

Sum of seasonal Relatives = (0.79+1.34+0.87) = 3.00

C) In this problem, the two methods provide similar result because there are only 3 season .Also
there is no trend in data.
Answer to the question: no: 16
A)

Using Linear trend formula:

(Actual Demand) XY X^2 Estimated forecast (A-F)


(Days) X Y

1 36 36 1 39.392 3.392
2 38 76 4 40.717 2.717
3 42 126 9 42.042 0.042
4 44 176 16 43.367 0.633
5 48 240 25 44.692 3.308
6 49 294 36 46.017 2.983
7 50 350 49 47.342 2.658
8 49 392 64 48.667 0.333

9 52 468 81 49.992 2.008


10 48 480 100 51.317 3.317

11 52 572 121 52.642 0.642


12 55 660 144 53.967 1.033
13 54 702 169 55.292 1.292
14 56 784 196 56.617 0.617

15 57 855 225 57.942 0.942

Total = 120 =730 =6211 =1240 =25.917

Now,

Y = mX+c

M = ∑X∑Y-n∑ y/∑( )^2-n(x^2) = 120*730-15*6211/12o^2-15*1240 =1.325

C = ∑y-m∑ /n =730-1.325*120/15 = 38.067

MAD = (A-F)/n = 25.917/15 = 1.7278

Forecast for 16 = 59.26


Range = 59.267± 1.7278 = 60.995 - 57.54

Forecast for 17= 60.592


Range =60.592± 1.7278 = 62.3198 - 58.8642

x = 1015
( )2 = 11025

M =

the required equation for demand, = 3.5 +46.64 = 50.14


Year
1 = 50.14
2 = 53.64
3 = 57.14
4 = 60.64
5 = 64.14
6 = 67.64
