The Fresh Detergent Case Enterprise Industries produces Fresh, a brand of liquid detergent. In order to more effectively manage its inventory, the company would like to better predict demand for Fresh. To develop a prediction model, the company has gathered data concerning demand for Fresh over the last 60 sales periods. Each sales period is defined as one month. The variables are as follows: Demand =Y= demand for a large size bottle of Fresh (in 100,000) Price = the price of Fresh as offered by Ent. Industries AIP= the average industry price ADV= Ent. Industries Advertising Expenditure (in $100,000) to Promote Fresh in the sales period. DIFF = AIP - Price = the "price difference" in the sales period 3- Use 3 -month and 6 -month moving averages to predict the demand for January 2023 . Find MAD for both forecasts and identify the preferred one based on each calculation. Is the moving average suitable method for forecasting for this data set? Explain your reasoning.
