a. Obtain the linear trend equation for the following data on new checking accounts at Fair Savings Bank and use it to predict expected new checking accounts for periods 16 through 19. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

Period	New Accounts	Period	New Accounts	Period	New Accounts
1	200	6	237	11	281
2	216	7	249	12	275
3	211	8	250	13	286
4	224	9	254	14	288
5	235	10	267	15	308

b.Use trend-adjusted smoothing with = .2 and = .1 to smooth the new account data in part a. What is the forecast for period 16? Compute the initial trend estimate (T_t) for Period 5 as follows: (Period 4 data Period 1 data) / 3. Then compute the initial trend-adjusted forecast (TAF_t) for Period 5 as follows: Period 4 data + Initial trend estimate for Period 5. Then compute all remaining values (including the S_t value for Period 5) using the textbook formulas or Excel template. (Round the "Trend"values (Tt) to 3 decimal places and all other intermediate forecast values (TAFt and St) to 2 decimal places. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
