Nemo Corp. is in the business of manufacturing cast and stamped steel products for the automotive industry. Steel ingots are purchased from the steel mills. For casted products, steel ingots have to be melted and cast. For stamped products, steel ingots have to be extruded into metal sheets and stamped.

c) Forecast the total steel demand using the Exponential Smoothing method where the smoothing constant is 0.15. (Hint: The first forecast should appear at the 2nd data point, which is in Q2 of year 1). Compute MAD, MSE and MAPE.
