c) Using last-value method, calculate the forecast d) Explain three method of forecast * 3-Month Average Method: The -month average forecasting method provides a middle ground between the last-value and averaging method by using the average of the monthly sales for the three most recent months as the forecast for the next month For example, a three-month moving average forecast for the supermarket in the 4th month is being calculated by: Forecast = 25 + 24+ 28 = 25,666666667 *Last-Value Method: The last-value forecasting method is calculated simply by using the last month’s sales as the forecast for the next month For example, the last-value method forecast for the supermaket in the 2nd month is being calculated by Forecast = 25 * Weighted Moving Average Method: The weighted

importance on recent data Therefore in this case, the 0.4 will be placed on the most recent value (3th month) , the 0,2 on the next most recent (2nd month) and so on For example, we can now calculate the weighted moving average method for the 4th month using the given weights 0.4; 0.2; 0.4: Forecast = 0.4*28 + 0.2*24 + 0.4* 25 = 26 + Which method is better and more accurate according to you? - The key factor in choosing a forecasting method is how stable the time series is and the value of MAD It is known that + Last-value method is suitable for a time series that is so unstable that even the next-to-last value is not considered relevant for forecasting the next value In this last-value forecasting problem, MAD =2,6 + Averaging method: Suitable for a very stable time series where even its first few values are considered relevant for forecasting the next value In this 3-month average method, MAD = 1.555555556 + Weighted moving-average method: Suitable for a moderately stable time series where the last few values are considered relevant for forecasting the next value In this weight moving-average method, MAD = 1.66666667 -> In this case, It is clear that 3-month average method is the best method among the three since it has the lowest MAD (1.56
