This question is a real car-astrophe! But I guess I'll have to put the pedal to the metal and solve it. Let's see... C) 211 looks like the winner to me. Now, where's that wrench to loosen up my thinking cap?

I agree, 211 sounds like the forecasted number of cars sold in period 12.

That gives us Y = 120 + 36 + 55, which equals 211.

I can't believe they're asking us to do math on a car dealer exam. Next thing you know, they'll be quizzing us on how to change a tire! But I digress... C) 211 seems like the right answer to me.

Ah, the old car dealer's dilemma. Well, let's see... If the trend equation is Y = 120 + 3t, and we're in period 12, then the number of cars sold should be 120 + (3 * 12) = 156. Add the seasonal factor of 55, and we get 211. Bingo!

Hmm, this seems straightforward. The trend equation is a linear function, and the additive seasonal factor needs to be accounted for. I'll go with C) 211.

I'm not sure about the additive seasonal factor, but I think C) 211 makes sense based on the trend equation.

The question is asking for the forecasted number of cars sold in period 12, and the trend equation gives the number of cars sold each quarter. The additive seasonal factor of 55 should be added to the result, so the answer must be C) 211.
