    A business has experienced the following sales figures (in 5000) over the last three years:

    Year

    on

    20X1

    20X2

    20X3

    Jan to Apr

    60

    64

    70

    May to Aug

    94

    99

    106

    Sep to Dec

    65

    68

    71

    The business uses a three period moving average technique to determine both a trend line and seasonal variations.

    Using the additive model, what is the seasonal variation for September to December 20X2?

    +$11,000 A

    B +$31,000

    C -$11,000

    D -$31,000

    There is no point in simply typing out a full question and expecting to be provided with a full answer.
    You must have an answer in the same book in which you found the question, so ask about whatever it is in the answer that you are not clear about and then I will explain.

    I do assume that you have watched my free lectures on time series analysis? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
