Select: 1Save Answer 1128 1207 2572 1286

Answer 1

1286

Step-by-step explanation:

the following information is missing:

• The marketing team makes a 14 percent growth forecast

If the competitive environment remains the same, then the sales forecast should equal actual demand + estimated sales increase:

actual demand = 1,128 units

estimated sales increase = 14%

sales forecast for next year = 1,128 + (14% x 1,128) = 1,128 + 157.92 = 1,285.92 ≈ 1,286 units
