It is important for a business to use historical data as it gives them an idea on how
successful they are as a business. They are able to analyse the areas where they can make

each year. A business would need to be able to forecast for the next period meaning the
accountants of the business would need to use moving averages in order to do this. The
moving averages show how well the business is performing meaning changes can be made

product would be higher as they need to cope with the demand. The Royal Jam Companies

business but their sales did remain high during this period meaning the demand for their
product was still high. Their overall income did also change between 2008 and 2013 as it
