Two different forecasting techniques (F1 and F2) were used to forecast demand for cases of bottled water. Actual demand and the two sets of forecasts are as follows:

PREDICTED DEMAND

Period Demand F1 F2
1 68 63 62
2 75 66 61
3 70 73 70
4 74 65 71
5 69 71 73
6 72 69 73
7 80 70 76
8 78 72 80

a.
Compute MAD for each set of forecasts. Given your results, which forecast appears to be more accurate? (Round your answers to 2 decimal place.)

MAD F1
MAD F2

(Click to select)F1F2None appears to be more accurate.

b.
Compute the MSE for each set of forecasts. Given your results, which forecast appears to be more accurate? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

MSE F1
MSE F2

(Click to select)F1F2None appears to be more accurate.

c.
In practice, either MAD or MSE would be employed to compute forecast errors. What factors might lead a manager to choose one rather than the other?

Either one might already be in use, familiar to users, and have past values for comparison. If (Click to select)control chartstracking signals are used, MSE would be natural; if (Click to select)tracking signalscontrol charts are used, MAD would be more natural.

d.
Compute MAPE for each data set. Which forecast appears to be more accurate? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

MAPE F1
MAPE F2

T-comm makes a variety of products. it is organized in two divisions, north and south. the managers for each division are paid, in part, based on the financial performance of their divisions. the south division normally sells to outside customers but, on occasion, also sells to the north division. when it does, corporate policy states that the price must be cost plus 20 percent to ensure a "fair" return to the selling division. south received an order from north for 300 units. south's planned output for the year had been 1,200 units before north's order. south's capacity is 1,500 units per year. the costs for producing those 1,200 units follow

Caleb construction (cc) incurs supervisor salaries expense in the construction of homes. if cc manufactures 100 homes in a year, fixed supervisor salaries will be $400,000. with the current construction supervisors, cc's productive capacity is 150 homes in a year. however, if cc is contracts to build more than 150 homes per year, it will need to hire additional supervisors, which are hired as full-time rather than temporary employees. cc's productive capacity would then become 200 homes per year, and salaries expense would increase to $470,000. how would cc’s salaries expense be properly classified? fixed variable mixed stepped curvilinear
