Exponential Smoothing with Trend Forecast

[lala06]

I have exhausted all of my options and I know the formula, I just can't find the right numbers to plug in...I was given this question: "Calculate the exponential smoothing with trend forecast for these data using an α of 0.10, a of 0.20, an initial trend forecast (T1) of 1.00, and an initial exponentially smoothed forecast (F1) of 27". With a table like this: Any help would be great! MONTH ACTUAL DEMAND 1 28 2 33 3 31 4 35 5 38 6 37 7 39 8 42 9 45 10

Please reply with the formula you're supposed to use, along with at least one example of an "option" you have tried. Thank you!
