Aw man, I bet the answer is D) 325. That's gotta be the trick question, right? Nah, just kidding, C) 318 is the way to go.

I agree, C) 318 seems like the most reasonable choice for the forecast.

I think you might be onto something with D) 325, but I'm leaning towards C) 318.

Hah, this is too easy! A simple three-period moving average is just the average of the last three periods. Piece of cake, the answer is C) 318.

Wait, wait, wait. If it's a simple three-period moving average, then the forecast for period 34 would be the average of periods 31, 32, and 33. I'm thinking C) 318 is the right answer.

That's a good point. The moving average might not capture sudden changes in the data.

But what if there is a sudden change in the trend? Wouldn't that affect the forecast?

Okay, okay, I got this. The question says a simple three-period moving average, so I just need to find the average of the last three periods. Let's see, 312, 313, and 318... Yep, that's gotta be C) 318!

Hmm, let me think this through. A simple three-period moving average would be the average of the last three periods, so that's gotta be the answer!

I agree with Salome, the moving average method usually gives a more accurate forecast.
