We assumed in our simulation that on the first day demand was for $8$ units instead of $4,$ Rita would interprete the increase as a one time increase and that demand would return to $4$ units tomorrow.

Suppose we had assumed instead that the first day demand was for $8$ units Rita would use a $2-$Period Moving Average Model to determine demand forecast values for day $6,7$ and $8.$

$1.$ Given a Day $4$ demand of $4$ and a day $5$ demand of $8,$ if Rita determined forecast values using a $2-$period moving average model, what demand forecast values would Rita use for day $6,7$ and $8?$ Answer $1$ Question $7$

$2.$ If Rita uses these $2-$period moving average model forecast values, what is the Day $8$ buffer stock requirement? Answer $2$ Question $7$

units

$3.$ Assuming Rita uses a $2-$Period Moving Average Forecast Value for the demand forecast values for day $6,7$ and $8$ and maintains her belief that future incoming shipments will be equal to their associated order amounts $($her previous orders were all for $4$ units$),$ how much should Rita order on Day $5?$ Answer $3$ Question $7$
