    Explanation:

    According to the question above, the seasonal relatives for each quarter for the current year financials has been calculated thus:

    1st quarter 0.5

    2nd quarter 1.0

    3rd quarter 1.25

    4th quarter 1.25

    using the above relatives to calculate what the next fiscal year order will be:

    Total relatives above = 4.0

    for the 4th quarter for the next year order:

    = 1.25/4.0 * forecasted qty to be ordered for the next fiscal year

    =1.25/4.0 * 10,000

    0.3125 * 10,000
