Answer 1

Juanita

The correct statement about her forecasts is:

c. Her demand forecasts for each style of skirt will be more accurate than her demand forecasts for all skirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she has produced limited quantities of her own clothing designs, Juanita is in a better position to determine the demand for each style of skirt that she had produced. This knowledge, which she acquired after a few months of operation, coupled with the forecasting techniques she had mastered in school, will enable her to make a demand forecast for her particular designs than she can make for all design types of skirts.
