Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

For computing the demand for each sale, first we have to compute the average sale for each season which is show below:

Average sale in fall = (240 + 260) ÷ 2 = 250

Average sale in winter = (340 + 300)  ÷ 2 = 320

Average sale in spring = (140 + 160)  ÷ 2 = 150

Average sale in summer = (320 + 240) ÷ 2 = 280

Demand for next fall = (250  ÷ 1,000) × 1,200 = 300

Demand for next winter = (320  ÷ 1,000) × 1,200 = 384

Demand for next spring = (150  ÷ 1,000) × 1,200 = 180

Demand for next summer = 1,200 - (300+384+180) = 336
