Using the actual demand data provided below, complete the table by computing the 3-month Moving Average forecast for each month 4-12 (use the one-step ahead approach) and the absolute deviation for each month. Then, compute the Mean Absolute Deviation for the period 4-12 (i.e. MAD4-12).  Note: be sure to include your shown work, month by month., making sure to list your forecasted values for periods 4-12 clearly.     Your Answer: 4 MA = (38+63+64) / 3 = 55 M(AD)=abs(80-55)=25 5 MA = (63+64+80) / 3 = 69 M=abs(48-69)=21 6 MA = (64+80+48) / 3 = 64 M=abs(51-64)=13 7 MA = (80+48+51) / 3 = 59.67 M=abs(54-59.67)=5.67 8 MA = (48+51+54) / 3 = 51 M=abs(39-51)=12 9 MA = (51+54+39) / 3 = 48 M=abs(45-48)=3 10 MA = (54+39+45) / 3 =46 M=abs(63-46)=17 11 MA = (39+45+63) / 3 =  49 M=abs(59-49)=10 12 MA = (45+63+59) / 3 = 55.67 M=abs(56-55.67)=0.33
