I had such question on exam ( I dont remember exactly numbers) as an example:
y=1500+580*x
What will be the forecast for the month 6 if for month 1 x=0
How to resolve it?
Nothing about it in BPP notes in the chapter forecasting, no one example

This is just simple algebra, which is why there is no example in the BPP notes.
If for month 1, x = 0; then for month 2, x = 1; for month 3, x = 2, and so on.
So for month 6, x will be equal to 5, and therefore y = 1500 + (580 x 5) = 4,400.
