A forecast using a three$-$period moving average model has a MAPE of $1\mathrm{.}52\%$ with a tracking signal of $4\mathrm{.}6$ ; forecast on the same dataset using an exponential smoothing model has a MAPE of $1\mathrm{.}54\%$ with a tracking signal of $-1\mathrm{.}6.$

Based on the above information, the three$-$period moving average model would be preferred.
