    Explanation:

    The computation of the forecast for period 5 using a four period weighted moving average is shown below:

    = Weights of period 1 * Period 1 + Weights of period 2 * Period 2 + Weight of period 3 * Period 3 + Weights of period 4 * Period 4

    =.05 * 10000 +.15 * 12400 +.30 * 13250 +.50 * 14750

    = 5,00 + 1,860 + 3,975 + 7,375

    = 13,710
