Question

Problem 3-16 Obtain estimates of daily relatives for the number of customers at a restaurant for the evening meal, given the following data.

a. Use the centered moving average method. (Hint: Use a seven-day moving average.) (Round your intermediate calculationsand final answers to 4 decimal places.

b. Use the SA method. (Round your intermediate calculationsand final answers to 4 decimal places.)

(Merged part A and B into same table, because you have to find 1's - 7's of both parts. Also, I know there are similar problems/Excel solutions on Chegg already, but it doesn't clearly specify which numbers goes in which blank for the answer.)

Explanation / Answer

a. CMA Method

Centerd moving Average using 7-day moving average is obtained as:

7-day CMAt = (At-3 + At-2 + At-1 + At + At+1 + At+2 + At+3)/7 days

Seasonal Unadjusted Relative = SUt = At/CMAt

Seasonal Adjusted Relative = SAt = (SUt + SUt+7 + SUt+14 + SUt+21)/4 weeks

SA2 = (SU2 + SU9 + SU16 + SU23)/4

b. SA method

Simple Average method: Average of demand of day i in each week

Simple average for day i = Si = (Ai + Ai+7 + Ai+14 + Ai+21)/4 weeks

Overall Average = Xi = (Ai)/(7 days x 4 weeks)

Seasonal Relative for ith day = Si/Xi
