Demand for a certain product is forecast to be 800 units per month, averaged over all 12 months of the year. the product follows a seasonal pattern, for which the january monthly index is 0.8. what is the seasonally-adjusted sales forecast for january?

Adjusted forecast for January is 640

Explanation:

given,                                                                  

Demand forecast of a certain product = 800 units      

averaged over all months = 12 months                            

January monthly index = 0.8                                              

We have to find seasonally-adjustment sales for January

Adjusted forecast = ( Demand ) x ( monthly index )

                              =   800 x 0.8                              

                              =  640                                  

Adjusted forecast for January is 640

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
