Answer:

The forecasted sales for the month of June is 2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the 3-period moving averages for computing the forecasted sale of umbrellas in the month of June and the formula to compute the same is as:

Forecasted sales = Sum of last three months sales / 3

where

Last 3 months before June will be:

March whose sales is 1,500

April whose sales is 2,000

May whose sales is 2,500

Putting the values above:

= (1,500 + 2,000 + 2,500) / 3

= 6,000 / 3

= 2,000
