3 3400
4 3800
5 3700
a) Forecast the mileage for next year using a 2-year moving average.
b) Find the MAD based on the 2-year moving average forecast in part (a), (Hint: You will have only 3 years of matched data.)
c) Use a weighted 2-year moving average with weights of .4 and .6 to forecast next year's mileage. (The weight of .6 is for the most recent year.) What MAD results from using this approach to forecasting? (Hint: You will have only 3 years of matched data.)

Answer:

Explanation:

A) using 2-year moving average :

Year 6 : (3800 + 3700) = 7500 / 2 = 3750

2) Mean absolute deviation based on the forecast above :

(3000 + 4000) = 7000/2 = 3500

(4000 + 3400) = 7400/2 = 3700

(3400 + 3800) = 7200/2 = 3600

3000

4000

3400 __3500__100

3800__3700__100

3700__3600__100

Mean absolute deviation = (100 + 100 + 100) /3 = 300/3 = 100

C) weight of 0.4 and 0.6

(0.4*3000 + 0.6*4000) = 3600

(0.4*4000 + 0.6*3400) = 3640

(0.4*3400 + 0.6*3800) = 3640

3000

4000

3400 __3600__200

3800__3640__160

3700__3640__60

(200 + 160 + 60) = 420 / 3 = 140

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

GDP= 9,872

Explanation:

The Expenditure Approach is a method of measuring GDP by calculating all spending throughout the economy including consumer consumption, investing, government spending, and net exports. This method calculates what a country produces, assuming that the finished goods and services of a country equals the amount spent in the country for that period.

The formula is:

GDP=C+I+G+/-NX

GDP: Gross Domestic Product

(C) consumer spending – this is the amount that all consumers spend on goods and services for personal use.

(I) investment – this is the amount that businesses or owners spend to invest in new equipment or expansions.

(G) government spending – this includes spending on new infrastructure like bridges and roads.

(NX) net exports – this includes spending on a country’s exports minus its spending on imports.

GDP= 6,728+1,767 +1,741+(1,102-1,466)

GDP= 9,872

= $2,150,000 - 3% of $2,150,000
