The exponential soothing, α = 0.1
Week Actual service calls Forecast
1 28 28
2 34 (28 + 0.1 x (28-28)) = 28
3. 38 (28 + 0.1 x (34-28)) = 28.60
4. 27 (28.60 + 0.1 x (38-28.60)) = 29.54
5. 25 (29.54 + 0.1 x (27-29.54)) = 29.29
6 (29.29 + 0.1 x (25-29.29)) = 28.86

Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Total costs = Product costs + Administrative costs
= ($75 × 30,000) + $85,000 - ($50 × 30,000) + $65,000 = $3,900,000
Total cost per unit =Total cost / Units expected to be sold= $3,900,000 /30,000 = $130
Markup per unit = Total cost per unit × Markup percentage = $130.00 × 25% = $32.5
Answer:
Accumulated depreciation= $7,272
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchased: January 1, 2014, at a cash cost of $23,000.
The estimated useful life is 10 years.
The estimated residual value is $2,800.
Under the double-declining balance, we need to use the following formula for each year:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
2014= [(23,000 - 2,800)/10]*2= 4,040
2015= [(20,200 - 4,040)/10]*2= 3,232
Accumulated depreciation= $7,272
