Question 2 |
An electric car manufacturer underestimated the
January sales of car by 20 units, while the actual
sales was 120 units. If the manufacturer uses
exponential smoothing method with a smoothing
constant of \alpha = 0.2, then the sales forecast for the
month of February of the same year is _______units
(in integer).
96 | |
104 | |
120 | |
128 |
Question 2 Explanation:
Actual sales in Jan ( D_{Jan}) = 120 units
Under estimate in Jan = D_{Jan}- F_{Jan}=20
D_{Jan} = 100 units
Smoothing constant ( \alpha = 0.2)
Forecast for Feb ( D_{Jan}) = ?
F_{Feb} = F_{Jan} + \alpha (D_{Jan} - F_{Jan})= 100 + 0.2 (120 - 100) = 104 \;units
Under estimate in Jan = D_{Jan}- F_{Jan}=20
D_{Jan} = 100 units
Smoothing constant ( \alpha = 0.2)
Forecast for Feb ( D_{Jan}) = ?
F_{Feb} = F_{Jan} + \alpha (D_{Jan} - F_{Jan})= 100 + 0.2 (120 - 100) = 104 \;units
