Response to the following problem:
Fortín Inc. manufactures touch screen computers for a niche market. A prior study shows that the product would be outdated by the end of June 2015, due the rapid changes in the product's industry.Fortín has produced enough to satisfy the demand until the end of May 2015, just in case that saledidn'tmeet expectations. After reviewing sales [and at marketing request], the administration was considering to manufacture enough computers to satisfy June's demand.Due to prior commitments, the company could not manufacture more than 820 computers. If the computer's demand were as shown below, andconsidering using a moving average of n=3, a simple exponential smoothingwith a=0.35 or a linear regression model to forecast January 2017 and February 2017 demands, should the company commit to this initiative? Explain all decisions made. (Note: First plot the data to determine if there is any seasonality.)
