- Question 03 Suppose you sell stylish leather bags targeting young office going people who can use your bags to carry laptops and necessary stuff. You have already launched leather bags in February of this year and now based on the demand results of last 7 months, you want to predict the demand for your bags for the month of September. Hence, you want to select the right forecasting techniques and you are considering 2 period Moving Average, Naive technique and Exponential Smoothing (use any value between .10 - .15 as the value of alpha). Now figure out the better forecasting technique among 2 period Moving Average, Naive technique and Exponential Smoothing by doing the error calculation with the help of MAD, MSE, MAPE.

For these three forecasts, 3-year moving average, a weighted moving average, and a trend line, which one would you use? Explain your answer. Use exponential smoothing with a smoothing constant of 0.3 to forecast the demand for fertilizer given. Assume that last period’s forecast for year 1 is 5,000 bags to begin the procedure.
