0.75 0.84 0.98 1.07 1.30 1.31 1.15 1.07 0.95 0.95 0.84 0.79

Using several years of permit data, beginning in August of 2001(i.e., t= 1 corresponds to August of 2001), an analyst reported that the trend line that describes the monthly permit data is of the form . Assuming Tt = 761 + 5t that a multiplicative model can be used to describe the building permit data, generate a forecast for the number of building permits that you expect will be granted in June of 2006.
