Zeus Computer Chips, Inc., used to have major contracts to produce the Centrino-type chips. The market has been declining during the past three years because of the quad-core chips, which it cannot produce, so Zeus has the unpleasant task of forecasting next year. The task is unpleasant because the firm has not been able to find replacement chips for its product lines. Here is demand over the past 12 quarters: LAST TWO YEARS AGO THIS YEAR YEAR I 4,779 I 3,495 I 3,198 II 3,489 2,110 111 II III 2,701 3,503 2,398 IV II 111 4,299 2,567 IV 2,997 IV 1,712 Use the regression and seasonal indexes to forecast demand for the next four quarters.
