    114

    Explanation:

    For computing the forecast value for the resulting year, we have to apply the formula which is shown below:

    = Actual demand * alpha + forecast demand * (1 - alpha)

    = 90 * 0.2 + 120 * (1 - 0.2)

    = 18 + 96

    = 114

    To compute the forecast value we have to deduct the alpha from the forecast demand and multiply the alpha with the actual demand
