Question
Chapter 5, Problem 38AP
a
Summary Introduction
Interpretation:Current values of mean and the MAD of monthly demand is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Exponential smoothing is used to recursively update the estimates of the mean and standard deviation of demand. The standard deviation is estimated using the mean absolute deviation (MAD).
b

Step 1 of 2: Find the two-period moving average for year 2008. If necessary, round
to one more decimal place than the largest number of decimal places given in the
data.
cosmetics manufacturer's marketing department has developed a linear trend equation that can be used to predict annual sales of its popular Hand&Foot Cream.
F t = 80 + 15t
where
Ft = Annual sales (000 bottles)
t is in years
Are annual sales increasing or decreasing? By how much?

- The file P13_22.xlsx contains total monthly U.S. retail sales data. While holding out the final six months of observations for validation purposes, use the method of moving averages with a carefully chosen span to forecast U.S. retail sales in the next year. Comment on the performance of your model. What makes this time series more challenging to forecast?arrow_forwardUse @RISK to analyze the sweatshirt situation in Problem 14 of the previous section. Do this for the discrete distributions given in the problem. Then do it for normal distributions. For the normal case, assume that the regular demand is normally distributed with mean 9800 and standard deviation 1300 and that the demand at the reduced price is normally distributed with mean 3800 and standard deviation 1400.arrow_forwardThe Baker Company wants to develop a budget to predict how overhead costs vary with activity levels. Management is trying to decide whether direct labor hours (DLH) or units produced is the better measure of activity for the firm. Monthly data for the preceding 24 months appear in the file P13_40.xlsx. Use regression analysis to determine which measure, DLH or Units (or both), should be used for the budget. How would the regression equation be used to obtain the budget for the firms overhead costs?arrow_forward
