Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moving averages is the method of calculating the average company sales over a set period of time, typically the previous years, in order to develop a company forecast. Exponential smoothing is a method that weighs more recent data more heavily, while decomposition methods involve breaking down sales into various components such as seasonality and trend. Breakdown methods and Delphi methods are not typically used for developing company forecasts.
