A resort hotel performed a quarterly time series analysis for demands over the last five
years (periods 1 through 20). The analysis resulted in the following trend equation and
seasonal indexes:
Ŷ = 1000 + 150t
Using the trend line equation and the seasonal indexes, predict demand for the third
quarter of the next year (i.e., period 23).
