Use simple exponential smoothing to make predictions for the hospitals revenues during the next four quarters with = 0.30.

(2) Use Trend-Adjusted Exponential Smoothing(i.e. Holts method) to make forecasts for the hospitals revenues during the next four quarters. Assume = 0.05, = 0.65, initial revenue forecast = 1209285.75 and initial trend forecast = 15714.

(3) Using least-squares regression with seasonal index decomposing method, forecast the hospitals revenues during the next four quarters.
