How do you calculate the Exponential Smoothing to get 20, 22.2, 24.96, 27.568, 30.454?

7. The following historical data have been collected representing sales of a product. Compare forecasts using a three-period moving average, exponential smoothing with an a = 0.2, and linear regression. Using MAD and MSE, which forecasting model is best? Are your results the same using the two error measures?
