    Th answer is: 5 to 10 percent

    Explanation:

    The smoothing constants determine how fast the weights of the series decays. If you choose a smoothing constant value near one, all the weight will be put on the most recent observations. If you choose a smoothing constant value near zero (e. g. 5-10%) then almost all the weight is put on distant past observations.

    In this case, the firm produces an item with a stable demand, that means that it hasn't changed much in time. So the smoothing constant value should be put on distant past observations.
