2014                  62,000

2015                  86,000

A. Develop 2 year moving average forecasts for 2013, 2014, and 2015.

B. Develop exponential smoothing forecasts for 2012 through 2016 with a smoothing constant of .2. To initialize the process, you may assume that the forecast for 2011 was 50,000.

C. Calculate the MAD and the MAPE for both of your moving average forecasts and exponential smoothing forecasts covering 2013 through 2015 from part a and part b.
