Consider the following actual and forecastdemand levels for Big Mac hamburgers at a local McDonald’srestaurant: The forecast for Monday was derived by observing Monday’sdemand level and setting Monday’s forecast level equal tothis demand level. Subsequent forecasts were derived by usingexponential smoothing with a smoothing constant of 0.25.Using this exponential smoothing method, what is the fore-cast for Big Mac demand for Friday?
Background A trophic level, or feeding level, is made up of all the organisms whose energy source is the same number of consumption steps from the sun in a given ecosystem. The trophic level of plants or producers is 1, while that of herbivores is 2 and that of animals that eat herbivores 3. Higher trophic levels can exist for animals even higher on the food chain. In this exercise, you will compute numerical values for human energy needs based on diets at different trophic levels. In this case study the owner of a farm raises soybeans and chickens. Grasshoppers feed on the farmers soybeans, and are in turn eaten by the chickens. Humans can, though rarely do, eat grasshoppers for sustenance. Humans can also eat soybeans. For the purpose of this exercise, make the following assumptions: A human requires 1 chicken/day There are 365 days/year 1 chicken eats 25 grasshoppers/day 1 grasshopper requires about 30 g of soybeans/year 1,000 grasshoppers have a mass of 1 kg 1 human requires…
