Seasonal Variations

TRO44ER1

hi, does anyone have a great understanding of seasonal variations?

the question is:

June July August September
Trend in units 10,000 10,200 10,400 10,800
Seasonal Variations 200 -400 -500 600


is the seasonal variartion a cumulative?

The formula for Seasonal variations is Actual = Trend + seasonal variation

In the example you have shown you will need to apply this formula to calculate the 'actual' amounts

You will there for do the following;

T + S = A
10,000 + 200 = 10,200
10,200 + -400 = 9,800
10,400 + -500 = 9,900
10,800 + 600 = 11,400

I hope this helps
