Question 110

In which year and which quarter the output has second highest positive deviation from its trend?

Solution

Quarters with positive deviations from its trend

1999 Quarter 1, deviation = Value - moving average = 68-62.88 = 5.12

1999 Quarter 4, deviation = 67-65.25 = 1.75 

2000 Quarter 1, deviation = 70-63.88 = 6.12

2001 Quarter 1, deviation = 60-55.12 = 4.88 

Clearly, 1999 Quarter 1 is second highest.
