Jenny Rivas · Answer 1

is smaller than 1.1.

Explanation:

Some business sales can get influenced heavily by season, like how swimsuit sell in summer but not in winter. This influence is called a seasonal factor. The sales of the product have to be adjusted to seasonal factor to show a result that more accurately represent the sales. There are 12 months and the sum of the adjusted factor is 12.18, so the adjusted ted factor for every month will be: 12.18/12 = 1.015.

The adjusted seasonal factor for April will be: 1.1/1.015 = 1.0837

The result is smaller than 1.1
