This provides the seasonal forecast.

PowerPoint presentation to accompany Heizer/Render – Principles of Operations Management, 5e, and Operations Management, 7e © 2004 by Prentice Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, N.J Least Squares Assumptions  Relationship is assumed to be linear. Plot the data first - if curve appears to be present, use curvilinear analysis.  Relationship is assumed to hold only within or slightly outside data range. Do not attempt to predict time periods far beyond the range of the data base.  Deviations around least squares line are assumed to be random.
