Using target or historical weights to measure this formula is quite simple. The question is do you want to use historical weights based on the past sales and the market trends, or do you want to input your own projections in using the target weight?
I will be trying to use the past trends in my projections because it is an indication of the performance of the company in the past and it is a reliable indicator because it is based upon the historical performance of the company and it is also incorporating the market trends because market trends will be highly fluctuating and if it is including the market trend it means that it is also including the risk exposure of the business, so it is a highly inclusive method where projection of future sales is made by estimation of historical sales and market trends.
I will be trying to calculate the target weight using historical weight within adjustment of the market Trend which will help in assessment of the performance of the company in the future.
Ascertainment of the weights in right proportion is very important in order to arrive at the correct figure which is projected in nature so since it can never be projected precisely hence, it will have to be estimated using projected figures which are based on the historical estimates along with an adjustment of the market trends.
