Explanation / Answer

Forecast for period 1 = 5

Actual Demand = 7

Error = Actual Demand – Forecast = (7 – 5 ) = 2

Forecast for period 2 = Previous Period Forecast + (Alpha * Error) = 5 + (0.2 * 2) = 5.4

Actual Demand for period 2 = 9

Error for period 2 = Actual Demand – Forecast = 9 – 5.4 = 3.6

Forecast for period 3 = Previous Period Forecast + (Alpha * Error) = 5.4 + (0.2 * 3.6) = 5.4 + 0.72 = 6.12
