Two independent methods of forecasting based on judgment and experience have been prepared each month for the past 10 months. The forecasts and actual sales are as follows:

Month Sales Forecast 1 Forecast 2
1 840 820 785
2 835 830 785
3 820 830 810
4 835 785 850
5 795 795 815
6 830 785 786
7 785 780 770
8 850 835 790
9 825 815 795
10 815 825 810

a. Compute the MSE and MAD for each forecast. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) MSE MAD

forcast 2

b. Compute MAPE for each forecast. (Round your intermediate calculations to 5 decimal places and final answers to 4 decimal places.)
