Question 5. The ear 2010 is near! ha!f over. ".Q. is to!d to determine how much the rm is !i#e! !i#e!  to spend for warehousing at each of the eight warehouses for the !ast si$ months in 2010. %o his wor# for him.

' am believe that the a!!lication a !!lication of sim!le average forecasting strategy to see the scceeding si( months of warehose e( e(!enses& !enses& The data !rovide !rovided d has no !rice costs for every month< however* there are cmlative cmlative vales dring the "ve months of its o!eration& We can a!!ly the average forecasting strategy in which we can have the average vale of !rice and a!!ly this as my forecasted digit on the ne(t !eriod& The table below will show the forecasting of every warehose* showing which warehose are more likely to have more s!ending com!ared to others&
