Question 2

Consider the following statements:
Exponential smoothing
1). is a modification of moving average method
2). is a weighted average of past observations
3). assigns the highest weightage to the most recent observation
Which of these statements are correct?

Question 3

Demand and forecast for a product is tabulated below using exponential smoothening constant of 0.1 and 0.3. From the data given, calculate the magnitude of difference between the forecast of 5th week from the two constants.

Question 4

Consider the following statements relating to forecasting:
1). The time horizon to forecast depends upon where the product currently lies in its life cycle
2). Opinion and judgmental forecasting method sometimes incorporate statistical analysis
3). In exponential smoothing, low values of smoothening constant, alpha result in more smoothing than higher values of alpha.
Which of these statements are correct?

Question 5
