You are the sales forecaster for a computer store that has nine locations. The stores depend on your projections of future sales in order to make decisions on staffing, advertising, purchasing, and the like. All stores are similar in size and merchandise selection. However, sales vary by location due to geographic considerations, different customer-bases, and random fluctuations. Sales for 2006 were as follows: Store 2006 2008
One $12,000,000
Two 11,500,000
Three 11,000,000
Four 10,500,000
Five 10,000,000
Six 9,500,000
Seven 9,000,000
Eight 8,500,000
Nine 8,000,000

Your economic forecasting service has estimated that total sales between 2006 and 2008 should increase by 10% (equivalent to $99,000,000). Your task is to predict 2008 sales for each store. Since your manager believes strongly in the economic forecasting service, it is imperative that your total sales equal $99,000,00
