To calculate the weighted three-period moving average forecast for period 5, we use the given weights and the sales data from periods 2, 3, and 4. Assuming the sales data for periods 2, 3, and 4 are 140, 150, and 160 respectively (as the image or specific data is not provided, this is a common example), the calculation would be as follows: (140 * 0.2) + (150 * 0.3) + (160 * 0.5) = 28 + 45 + 80 = 153. This example calculation is illustrative; the correct answer, B, suggests the actual weighted calculation based on the provided data points and weights results in 144.80.
