The manager of a small health clinic would like to use exponential smoothing to forecast demand for emergency services in their facility. If she uses an alpha value of 0.3, what is the mean absolute deviation and tracking signal of her forecasts from Weeks 2-6? Calculate thoroughly using excel and round to one decimal place (Assume that the forecast for Week 1 is 430) the data are provided below. Based on the Tracking Signal are you over or underforecasting? Week Demand in Patients Forecasted Demand 1 430 430 2 255 430 3 506 377.5 4 470 416.05 5 468 432.235 6 365 442.9645 A. MAD=94.236, TS=-0.36875, Overforecasting B. MAD=94.236, TS= 0.36875, Underforecasting C. MAD= 130.12, TS= 2.9711, Underforecasting D. MAD= -6.95, TS = 5, Underforecasting E. MAD= -6.95, TS=5, Overforecasting

Miller mfg. is analyzing a proposed project. the company expects to sell 14,300 units, plus or minus 3 percent. the expected variable cost per unit is $15 and the expected fixed cost is $35,000. the fixed and variable cost estimates are considered accurate within a plus or minus 3 percent range. the depreciation expense is $32,000. the tax rate is 34 percent. the sale price is estimated at $19 a unit, give or take 3 percent. what is the net income under the worst case scenario?

Mountain mouse makes freeze-dried meals for hikers. one of mountain mouse's biggest customers is a sporting goods superstore. every 66 days, mountain mouse checks the inventory level at the superstore and places an order to restock the meals. these meals are delivered by ups in 55 days. average demand during the reorder period and order lead time is 8585 meals, and the standard deviation of demand during this same time period is about 1919 meals. calculate the restocking level for mountain mouse. assume that the superstore wants a 95\% service level. what happens to the restocking level if the superstore wants a higher level of service-say, 99]%? the restocking level for the 95% service level is 117 mealssuppose there are 25 meals in the superstore when mountain mouse checks inventory levels. how many meals should be ordered, assuming a 95% service level?
