The forecast for week 13 is 747. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.) Specify the mean absolute deviation (MAD) and mean absolute percent error (MAPE). (Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.)

a) MAD without the forecast = 43.71

MAD with the forecast = 45.59

b) MAPE = 0.097 = 9.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

642 602 656 747 663 618 731 726 679 737 664 740

Mean Absolute deviation is given as

MAD = [Σ|x - μ|]/N

We first calculate the mean

Mean = Σx/N

Mean = (642+602+656+747+663+618+731+726+679+737+664+740)/12

Mean = (8205/12) = 683.75

absolute deviations from the mean

|642-683.75| + |602-683.75| + |656-683.75| + |747-683.75| + |663-683.75| + |618-683.75| + |731-683.75| + |726-683.75| + |679-683.75| + |737-683.75| + |664-683.75| + |740-683.75|

Absolute deviations from the mean

41.75+81.75+27.75+63.25+20.75+65.75+47.25+42.25+4.75+53.25+19.75+56.25

= 524.5

MAD = [Σ|x - μ|]/N

MAD = (524.5/12)

MAD = 43.71

If we include the forecast on the 13th week

642 602 656 747 663 618 731 726 679 737 664 740 747

Mean = (8205+747)/13

Mean = 688.62

absolute deviations from the mean

|642-688.62| + |602-688.62| + |656-688.62| + |747-688.62| + |663-688.62| + |618-688.62| + |731-688.62| + |726-688.62| + |679-688.62| + |737-688.62| + |664-688.62| + |740-688.62| + |747-688.62|

Absolute deviations from the mean

= 46.62+86.62+32.62+58.38+25.62+70.62+42.38+37.38+9.62+48.38+24.62+51.38+58.38

= 592.62

MAD = (592.62/13)

MAD = 45.59.

b) MAPE is used to check forecast errors

MAPE = (1/N) Σ [|x-f|/x]

where N = Sample size = 12

x = each variable

f = the forecasted value = 747

x = 642, 602, 656, 747, 663, 618, 731, 726, 679, 737, 664, 740

Σ [|x-f|/x]

= 0.164+0.241+0.139+0+0.112+0.209+0.022+0.029+0.100+0.014+0.125+0.009

Σ [|x-f|/x] = 1.164

MAPE = (1.164/12)

MAPE = 0.097 = 9.7%
