In Problems 5-17 and 5-18, three different forecasts were developed for the demand for fertilizer. These three forecasts are a 3-year moving average, a weighted moving average, and a trend line. Which one would you use? Explain your answer Problems 5-17 Data collected on the yearly demand for 50-pound bags of fertilizer at Wallace Garden […]
solution
Use exponential smoothing with a smoothing constant of 0.3 to forecast the demand for fertilizer given in Problem 5-17. Assume that last period’s forecast for year 1 is 5,000 bags to begin the procedure. Would you prefer to use, the exponential smoothing model or the weighted average model developed in Problem 5-17? Explain your answer […]
