Question 9

Using exponential smoothing: New Forecast = α × (Actual Demand) + (1−α) × (Previous Forecast). If α = 0.3, actual demand = 230, and previous forecast = 200, the new forecast is:

  1. New Forecast = 0.3(200) + 0.7(230) = 221
  2. New Forecast = 0.3(230) + 0.7(200) = 209
  3. New Forecast = (230 + 200) / 2 = 215
