Valentin [98]

Answer:

175.36

Explanation:

Given that,

Demand data for various month is given.

Forecast for July = 164

Alpha = 0.8

Calculation of forecast by using the exponential smoothing method:

F(t+1) = ∝Y(t) + (1 - ∝)F(t)

F(t+1) represents forecast value of (t+1)

∝ = Smoothing constant

Y(t) = Actual value of period t

F(t) = Forecast of period t

For the month of July,

F(t+1) = ∝Y(t) + (1 - ∝)F(t)

        = (0.8 × 165) + [(1 - 0.8) × 164]

        = 132 + 32.8

        = 164.8

For the month of August,

F(t+1) = ∝Y(t) + (1 - ∝)F(t)

        = (0.8 × 178) + [(1 - 0.8) × 164.8]

        = 142.4 + 32.96

        = 175.36

Therefore, the forecast for August is 175.36 if the forecast for June was 164.
