Based on the following table, find the deseasonalized demand (rounded to 2 decimals) of the following months: January 2011, July 2011, February 2012, October 2012. As of the end of December 2010, the estimate of deseasonalized demand for December 2010 is as computed above (deseasonalized slope = 1.98/month, deseasonalized intercept for Dec 2004 = 110.52); you should use this along with your trend estimate B and your estimates of the seasonal factors (c1...c12) to find these forecasts.

Note: The correct seasonal estimates for January, February, July, October, and December are 0.92, 0.93, 1.19, 0.91, and 0.9 respectively.
