Answer:

b. 77

Explanation:

The formula for forecasting is :

F_{t} = \alpha D_{t-1} + (1 - \alpha) F_{t-1}

where F_{t} is forecast for the period and D_{t} is the actual demand for the period.

Last week forecast is = \alpha * Demand 2 weeks ago + (1 - \alpha) * Forecast 2 weeks ago

0.2 * 65 + (1 - .02) * 90 = 13

Current week forecast is = \alpha * Demand Last weeks + (1 - \alpha) * Forecast Last weeks

0.2 * 50 + (1 - 0.2) * 83  = 77.

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Net income for the year = $257,000

Explanation:

Retained earnings for the year= Net income - dividends paid.

Since no dividends were paid, retained earnings for the year = net income for the year. At the end of each accounting period, retained earnings are reported on the balance sheet, and the retained profits for the year are added to the beginning balance of retained earnings, to give a cumulative ending balance of  $2,499,000.

therefore retained earnings for the year = ending retained earnings balance  - beginning retained earnings balance = $2,499,000.-$2,242,000= $257,000.

Net income for the year is  thus =  $257,000 since no dividends were paid.
