$1.$ Using the $4-$quarter moving average: What is the forecast for $3$Q $2024,2$Q $2024,1$Q $2024,$ and $4$Q $2023?$

$2.$ Compute the forecast for $3$Q $2024,2$Q $2024,1$Q $2024,$ and $4$Q $2023$

using exponential smoothing $($start with $4$Q $2023)$ with a smoothing factor of $\mathrm{.}6.3.$ Which forecast method provides a more accurate forecast?

$4.$ Compute the forecast for $3$Q $2024,2$Q $2024,1$Q $2024,$ and $4$Q $2023.$ using a weighted moving average technique. The most recent period is weighted at $\mathrm{.}45,$ second most recent at $\mathrm{.}3,$ and $3$ rd most recent at $\mathrm{.}2$ and $4$ th most recent at $\mathrm{.}05.$

$5.$ Compare the results from $4$ to the results from $1$ and $2.$ Now which forecast provides the more accurate forecast?
