Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A sales forecast can only be accurate if the information it is based on is accurate, unbiased, and true to the best of our knowledge. If the data is inaccurate, biased, or only partially true, then the sales forecast will also be inaccurate. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer. The other options such as regression analysis, the time period for data collection, and the source of data can affect the accuracy of the sales forecast, but they are not as critical as having accurate and unbiased data.
