a)  Compute  seasonal  indices  (1  and 2 ),  normalized  seasonal  indices  ( 1 , 2 , 3  and 4 ), and revised irregular component 3, 4, 5  and 6  values.

(6 marks)

b)  Compute seasonally adjusted series  ( 1, 2, 3  and 4 )  using normalized obtained in (a).

(2 marks)

c)  Give an example of situation that  requires us to analyse seasonally adjusted series instead of the seasonally unadjusted series.
