Answer:
a. 41.6 million
b. 42.28 million
Explanation:
A) GIven
forecast in june = Sjune = 42 million
Checks recived in june = Xjune = 40 million
Smoothing constant = a = 0.2
So for july
Sjuly = a*Xjune + (1-a)*Sjune
=0.2*40 + (1-0.2)*42 million
=8+33.6 = 41.6 million
B) forecast in july = Sjuly = 41.6 million
Checks recived in july = Xjuly = 45 million
Smoothing constant = a = 0.2
So for August
Saugust = a*Xjuly + (1-a)*Sjuly
=0.2*45 + (1-0.2)*41.6 million
=9+33.28 = 42.28 million
<em>Note: This uses an exponential smoothing to forecast the results, but from the number of checks recived we see that it increases linearly. So we need a linear forecasting method .</em>
Answer: The new divisor for the price-weighted index is 0.77982

Answer: Cost of Goods sold
Explanation:
Common size analysis refers to making all entries in the income statement, a percentage of sales for that year.
Current Year Prior Year
Sales 100% 100%
Cost of Goods sold 75.7% 46.5%
Gross Profit 24.3% 53.5%
Operating expenses 17.3% 35%
Net Income 7.0% 18.5%
<em>Looking at the percentages above, one can see that the COGS increased the most from the previous year by going from 46.5% to 75.7% representing an increase of 29.2%.</em>
<em>This had the most impact on Net income as it substantially reduced Gross profit. </em>
Answer: b. $30; $20; $0
Explanation:
<em>Admission prices to Dollywood are $50 for a one-day ticket, $80 for a two-day ticket, and $100 for an annual pass. Based on these prices, the marginal cost of visiting Dollywood the second day is </em><em><u>$30</u></em><em>, the third day is </em><em><u>$20</u></em><em>, and the fourth day is </em><em><u>$0.</u></em>
The marginal cost is the extra cost per day of going to Dollywood.
Second day
Marginal cost = Second day price - First day
= 80 - 50
= $30
Third day
Marginal cost = Third day price - Second day
= 100 - 80
= $20
Fourth Day
Marginal cost = Fourth day price - third day
= 100 - 100
= $0
