The weighted moving average forecast for the fifth period, with weights of 0.15 for period 1, 0.20 for period 2, 0.25 for period 3, and 0.40 for period 4, using the demand data shown below isPeriod Demand 1 3,500 2 3,800 3 3,500 4 4,000a. 3,760b. 3,700c. 3,650d. 3,325

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 3,760

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Period     Demand    Weight    Demand × weight

1               3,500         0.15        525

2              3,800         0.20        760

3              3,500         0.25        875

4              4,000         0.40        1,600

Total                                          3,760                      

We simply multiplied the demand with the weight to get the total.
