We have following demands at each season for year Table 1 Year Season Spring Summer Fall Winter Spring Summer Fall Winter Spring emand In addition, we already know the value of seasonal index (demand/cm (CM is centered moving average) )for the following seasons Table 2 Year Spring Summer Fall 0.98 Winter 1.35 a. Calculate the value of demand/cm between fall 2007 to fall 2008, and then calculate adjusted seasonal relatives for each of the season, by using the number in table 2 and the demand/cm that you just calculated. b. The linear trend equation for this problem is y= 2.3x+16. ssuming that Spring 2007 was period 1, use this equation and the seasonal relative that you just calculated to forecast the demand for summer 2009 (15 pts).
