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 1 2 3 4 5 5 6 7 7 8 9 9 10 Sales 835 840 805 815 795 830 780 850 795 845 Forecast 1 785 800 825 810 765 805 810 830 795 850 Forecast 2 765 795 840 815 790 786 780 785 790 840 a. Compute the MSE and MAD for each forecast. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) MSE MAD 22.5 Forecast 1 Forecast 2 27.4 b. Compute MAPE for each forecast. (Round your intermediate calculations to 5 decimal places and final answers to 4 decimal places.) MAPE F1 MAPE F2 c. Prepare a naive forecast for periods 2 through 11 using the given sales data. Compute each of the following: (1) MSE, (2) MAD, (3) tracking signal at month 10, and (4) 2s control limits. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) MSE MAD Tracking signal Control limits 0+
