Explanation / Answer

Here for any quarter seasonally adjusted forecast would be equal to

= (seasonal factor/100) * Trend line equation

so for Year 6 and quarter 1. time period t = 21st quarter

seasonal factor = 110.0

for trend line equation t = 5 * 4 + 1 = 21

so, y(21) = 3.30 + 1.75 * 21 = 40.05

SO, seasonally adjusted forecast for year 6 quarter 1 = 40.05 * (110/100) = 44.055 million

for Year 6 quarter 2 :

time period t = 22st quarter

seasonal factor = 120.0

for trend line equation t = 5 * 4 + 2 = 22

so, y(22) = 3.30 + 1.75 * 22 = 41.80

SO, seasonally adjusted forecast for year 6 quarter 2= 41.80 * (120/100) = 50.16 million

for Year 6 quarter 3:

time period t = 23st quarter

seasonal factor = 80.0

for trend line equation t = 5 * 4 + 3= 23

so, y(23) = 3.30 + 1.75 * 23 = 43.55

SO, seasonally adjusted forecast for year 6 quarter 3 = 43.55 * (80/100) = 34.84 million

for Year 6 quarter 4:

time period t = 24st quarter

seasonal factor = 90.0

for trend line equation t = 5 * 4 + 4= 24

so, y(24) = 3.30 + 1.75 * 24 = 45.30

SO, seasonally adjusted forecast for year 6 quarter 3 = 45.30 * (90/100) =40.77 million
