Insurance A 65-year-old woman takes out a $100,000
term life insurance policy. The company charges an an-nual premium of $520. Estimate the company’s expected
profit on such policies if mortality tables indicate thatonly 2.6% of women age 65 die within a year.
Observations of any variable recorded over a sequential period of time are considered time-series. Forecasting models, used to estimate values for some future period, are generally classified as either qualitative or quantitative.
Assume you are an executive of a large transportation company, and your firm's profit is highly sensitive to fuel cost. The price of gasoline and diesel changes daily, however, your customers expect to be quoted a price for delivery services days, weeks, and sometimes, MONTHS in advance. Therefore, your firm relies heavily on forecasting the price of fuel. Which method of forecasting might you use, qualitative or quantitative? And finally, what are the limitations to business forecasting.
