Explanation / Answer

so i have calculate the seasonal index here in the last column

(b) Here in year 3 annual demand is 800 so forecast value for each quarter

Quarter I = (800/400) * 93.15 = 186.30

Quarter II = (800/400) * 87.67 = 175.35

Quarter III = (800/400) * 117.50 = 235.00

Quarter IV = (800/400) * 101.67= 203.35
