Forecasting Approach

Are you guys aware about the forecasting approach given below,

week 1 actual offered volume=w
week 2 actual offered volume=x
week 3 actual offered volume=y
week 4 actual offered volume=z

Week 5 forecast=???

week 1 actual offered volume=w*a%=e
week 2 actual offered volume=x*b%=f
week 3 actual offered volume=y*c%=g
week 4 actual offered volume=z*d%=h

Now the forecasted volume for week 5 is = e+f+g+h

My question is how would we decide the a%,b%,c% and d%. I would assume that we don't have any standard weightage for the industry in case if this approach is valid.

your input and suggestions would be appreciated.
