Forecasting in a simple term means estimating how something will be in the future. It uses historical data as inputs to make informed estimates on future events or trends. While forecasting is useful in allocation of budgets in businesses, analysts apply it to see if a business is consistent with its performance, in the determination of trends (good or bad) in order to reduce or avoid risks. It is also useful in the determining if the business will have sufficient collateral and free cash flow to support loan payments and in identifying liquidity or cash flow weaknesses and strengths.

An employer who is considering hiring eva has asked donna, eva’s former supervisor, for a report on eva. in truth, eva’s work for donna has been only average. however, eva is donna’s friend, and donna knows that eva probably will not get the job if she says anything negative about eva, and donna knows that eva desperately needs the job. further, donna knows that if the situation were reversed, she would not want eva to mention her deficiencies. nevertheless, it has been donna’s policy to reveal the deficiencies of employees when she has been asked for references by employers, and she knows that some of eva’s faults may be bothersome to this particular employer. finally, this employer has leveled with donna in the past when donna has asked for a report on people who have worked for him. should donna reveal deficiencies in eva’s past performance? (remember to use one of the three moral theories acceptable for this test to solve this dilemma. any discussion of any personal opinion, religious perspective, or theory other than the moral theories acceptable for this test will result in a score of "0" for this question.)
