Question

Given the following data on the number of pints of ice cream sold at a local ice cream store for a 6 period time frame:

Answer 1

Answer:

Forecast demand for period 7 is 290.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given number of period = 6

Since it is given that in period 1, the demand is 200 and at period 6 the demand is 300. However, to find the forecast demand for period 7, just add the demand of period 1 and period 6, then divide by 2.  

Here, the following is the calculation.

Forecast demand for period 7 = (280 + 300) / 2

                                                  = 290
