Chapter 4: Case – Shouldice Hospital – A Cut Above (page 115). Answer all 4 questions in the textbook

6.
A) 358.3 units
B) 325 units
C) 575 units
a. F (this month) = (325 + 350 + 400)/3 = 358
b. F (next month) = (300 + 325 + 350)/3 = 325
c. F (two months ago) = 450 + .20(400 – 450) = 440
F (one month ago) = 440 + .20(350 – 440) = 422
F (this month) = 422 + .20(325 – 422) = 403
