For this final assignment I’d like you to call upon your knowledge of forecasting to help project your firm’s revenue stream for the upcoming year. In the Microsoft Excel that is attached to this assignment, you will find the past four years of quarterly revenue data for your nonprofit. Your revenue comes from two major sources: individual donations and donations from corporations. I’d like you to use the past four years’ worth of data to forecast the individual donations and donations for corporations for the next fiscal year (year 5 quarters 1-4).   Once you have forecasted both individual revenue streams you can simply add them together to get your overall revenue forecast for the next fiscal year. Please discuss what forecasting method you chose and how you made your decision. You can do this in your excel document or write up a separate paragraph or two in a Microsoft Word document.
