August 24, 2024 at 12:20 pm #710273Where is this question from?
August 24, 2024 at 2:19 pm #710279From what you have given me
To calculate the multiplicative seasonal variation for each season in 20×1-20×3, divide the actual sales revenue by the corresponding trend:Autumn 20×1: 90 / 92.75 = 0.9709
Winter 20×1: 70 / 95.75 = 0.7306
Spring 20×2: 96 / 98.25 = 0.9778
Summer 20×2: 134 / 100.00 = 1.3400Autumn 20×2: 96 / 102.50 = 0.9376
Winter 20×2: 78 / 106.25 = 0.7341
Spring 20×3: 108 / 109.50 = 0.9854
Summer 20×3: 152 / 111.50 = 1.3638To determine the sales revenue for the Autumn and Winter seasons in 20×3, multiply the trend for each season by the corresponding multiplicative seasonal variation.
August 25, 2024 at 5:58 am #710304i got this from an exam paper in my university that i have not gotten any answer scheme for it
August 25, 2024 at 6:01 am #710306is by this u mean
autumn 0.9709*0.9376
winter 0.7306*0.7341from here how will i get the answer for 20×3 autumn and winter? how do i calculate the sales revenue for it?
August 25, 2024 at 7:24 am #710309It is not my job to answer Uni questions
I would say average the sv
Start with the last true forecasted growth
Then adjust
Unless you know the predictive growth?So add the average together then divide by 2 to get an average
Then project going forwards - AuthorPosts
