The human resources department needs to forecast the number of sexual harassement investigations for the entire company. The data for several months is supplied below. Be careful since the data is listed beginning with the most recent. The forecasting method to be used here is the 4 month weighted moving average adjusting for seasonality where the weights, starting with the most recent time period, are 0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.1. Again, you must find the seasonality factors for the data. Please round your forecast to the nearest whole number.

Exercise 9-24

Larkspur Company began operations on January 1, 2019, adopting the conventional retail inventory system. None of the company’s merchandise was marked down in 2019 and, because there was no beginning inventory, its ending inventory for 2019 of $37,700 would have been the same under either the conventional retail system or the LIFO retail system.

On December 31, 2020, the store management considers adopting the LIFO retail system and desires to know how the December 31, 2020, inventory would appear under both systems. All pertinent data regarding purchases, sales, markups, and markdowns are shown below. There has been no change in the price level.
