The way economists would probably explain the wastage of this clam resource is by saying that clams are free goods and are therefore subject to the tragedy of the commons effect. The tragedy of the commons effect is a theory in economics, postulated by the Victorian economist William Forster Lloyd.


The tragedy of the commons effect describes a condition within a shared-resource system where each user act freely according to their own self-interest, but their collective actions ends in the depletion or spoilage of that resource, thus having a negative impact on the common good of all users. In this case, commons is taken to refer to the clam resources.

Given the following historical demand, what is the weighted moving average forecast (0.4, 0.3, 0.3) for Week 6?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The correct option is B. 9200.

Explanation:

This can simply be answered as follows:

F_{6} =(D_{5}*W_{5})+(D_{4}*W_{4})+(D_{3}*W_{3}) .................. (1)

Where:

F_{6} = Weighted moving average forecast (0.4, 0.3, 0.3) for Week 6 = ?

D_{5} = Week 5 demand = 11,000

D_{4} = Week 4 demand = 9,000

D_{3} = Week 3 demand = 7,000

The (0.4, 0.3, 0.3) implies that:

W_{5}  = Weight of Week 5 demand = 0.4

W_{4}  = Weight of Week 4 demand = 0.3

W_{3}  = Weight of Week 3 demand = 0.3

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

F_{6} = (11,000 * 0.40) + (9,000 * 0.30) + (7,000 * 0.30) = 9,200

Therefore, the correct option is B. 9200.
