Question

Given a prior forecast demand value of 1,100, a related actual demand value of 1,000, and a smoothing constant alpha of 0.3, what is the exponential smoothing forecast value

Answer 1

Answer:

1,030

Explanation:

Calculation for what is the exponential smoothing forecast value

Exponential smoothing forecast value = 1,000 + 0.3 x (1,100-1,000)

Exponential smoothing forecast value = 1,000 + 0.3 x (100)

Exponential smoothing forecast value = 1,000 + 30

Exponential smoothing forecast value= 1,030

Therefore the exponential smoothing forecast value will be 1,030
