Solution
1) NO, DISPOSABLE INCOME SHOULD NOT BE USE TO PREDICT THE SALES BECAUSE IF WE SEE FROM 2ND TO 4TH YEAR THE DISPOSABLE INCOME INCREASED VERY MUCH IN 3RD YEAR IN RESPRECT TO 2RD YEAR THEN THE SALES IS NOT INCREASED MUCH BUT THE DISPOSABLE INCOME IS REDUCED IN 4TH YEAR WITH RESPECT TO 3RD YEAR AND THE SALES INCREASES VERY MUCH. AGAIN IN THE 5TH YEAR THE INCOME REDUCES AND THE SALES ALSO REDUCES SO THERE IS NO PROPER LINK TO PREDICT THE SALES FROM THE INCOME
