Problem 3-10 (Algo)

After plotting demand for four periods, an emergency room manager has concluded that a trend-adjusted exponential smoothing model is appropriate to predict future demand. The initial estimate of trend is based on the net change of 19 for the three periods from 1 to 4, for an average of +6.33 units.

Period	Actual	Period	Actual
1	206	6	255
2	225	7	270
3	220	8	280
4	225	9	285
5	245	10
