C. Month Using Alpha of 0.2, forecast the demand for the months February through September using exponential smoothing, and calculate MAD. Demand Deviation January February March April May June 921 985 854 962 963 799 July August September 875 896 910 Feb-Sept Exponential Smoothing (alpha 0.2) (0.2*921) + (0.8*921) = 921 (0.2*985) + (0.8*921) = 933.8 (0.2*854) + (0.8*933.8) 917.8 = (0.2*962) + (0.8*917.8) = 926.6 (0.2*963) + (0.8*926.6) = 933.9 (0.2 799) + (0.8*933.9) = 906.9 (0.2*896) + (0.8*906.9) = 904.7 (0.2*910)+ (0.8*904.7) = 905.7 985-921 854-933.8 962-917.8 963-926.6 799-933.9 896-906.9 910-904.7 875-905.7 (4 marks) Absolute 64 79.8 44.2 36.4 134.9 10.9 5.3 30.8
