Answer:

8.75%

Explanation:

The forecast error refers to the actual value of the currency vs the expected value of the currency. A forecast is just an estimate or educated guess, and as any estimate it can be wrong.

The absolute forecast error = [(actual – forecast) / actual] x 100 = [$0.80 - $0.73) / $0.80] x 100 = 8.75%
