For all international economies, economic decisions are easier to make when the income series is stable or can be represented in a stable format where it is otherwise volatile.
For simplicity, the simple formula, following will achieve the required income smoothing or averaging:
The Economics Trend Formula
Income Averaging Trend = C + X-bar ,
where C = last record value in the previous value (eg. income) measurement, and
X-bar = the mean current trend value as the gradient of the linear curve or the
total divided by the number of items added to gain the total
The Simple IT Solution
x = the total of the values for the current period
n = the number of values or records of value
A = x/n + c
