Answer:

This is a two way question.

Explanation:

Voting is a privilege given to adults once they are 18 or older because that is the legal age that you are no longer considered a minor. I do not think children should be able to vote because they are obviously to young to have such responsibility as choosing the best candidates for the job, I do however believe that children and adults should be given the education and knowledge of political stances and parties whenever possible, to provide a higher percentile of average people to vote and actually know what they are voting for. This question is and should be considered a strictly opinionated topic.

Using the data set below, what would be the forecast for period 5 using the exponential smoothing method? Assume the forecast fo

elena55 [62]

Answer:

The answer is C: 14300

Note: The actual answer is 14296, and the closest to that was option C.

Explanation:

Formula to calculate forecast using Exponential smoothing:

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

Where,

$F_{t}$ = New Forecast
$F_{t-1}$ = Previous period's forecast.
$\alpha$ = Smoothing Constant
$A_{t-1}$ = Previous period's Actual Demand.

Calculating the forecast for period 5:

Data:

$F_{5} = ?$
$F_{t-1} = 14000$
$\alpha = 0.4$
$A_{t-1} = 14750$

Putting values in the formula:

$F_{5} =$ $14000 + 0.4(14750-14000)$

$F_{5} = 14000 + 0.4 (740)$

$F_{5} = 14000 + 296$

$F_{5} = 14296$

when perfectly competitive firm X sells three units of product Z, its marginal revenue is $4.67. when it sells one hundred units

Ghella [55]

Answer:

B) $4.67

Explanation:

By definition marginal revenue is the revenue generated by the sale of one more unit of product Z.

Marginal revenue = unit price

Since firm X participates in a perfectly competitive market, it is a price taker, and since the marginal revenue is constant, we can assume that this is the equilibrium price of product Z.

2. Explain what happens to the demand curve

astraxan [27]

Answer:

The law of demand states that consumers will request more of a product if its price decreases. For supplement goods, an increase in the price of one will increase demand for the other. The demand curve for apples will react as follows.

Explanation:

A). More people begin to prefer apples to oranges.

Should peoples' preference change to apples, the demand for oranges will decrease while that of apples will increase. The demand curve is downward sloping. If demand increases, the demand curve will shift to the right. It is also referred to as moving outwards. In this case, the demand curve for apples will shift to the right.

B) The price of peaches rises (because peaches are a substitute for apples).

Substitutes imply a good can be used in place of another. If the price of a substitute increases, it demands decreases. The demand for the substitute good will go up. An increase in the price of peaches will increase the demand for apples. As a result, the demand curve will shift outwards. In other words, shift to the right.

C. People's incomes rise (and apples are a normal good).

Demand for normal goods increase as the people's income rises. More people will afford to buy apples. If people are now earning more, the demand for apples will go up. The demand curve will shift to the right to indicate a surge in demand.

Atlarge Inc. owns 30% of the outstanding voting common stock of Ticker Co. and has the ability to significantly influence the in

dem82 [27]

Answer:

C. $22,672

B. $413,872

Explanation:

a. The computation of Amount realized by Ticker is shown below:-

Unrealized profit = (48,000 - $28,800) × 25% × 30%

= $19,200 × 25% × 30%

= $1,440

Unrealized profit from Additional sales = ($60,000 - $33,600) × 40% × 30%

= $26,400 × 40% × 30%

= $3,168

Ownership Interest = (Earned income × Outstanding percentage) + Unrealized profit - (Investment + Unrealized profit from Additional sales)

= (108,000 × 30%) + $1,440 - ($8,000 + $3,618)

= $32,400 + $1,440 - $11,618

= $22,672

b. The computation of balance in the Investment is given below:-

Balance of investment = Investment + Interest - Dividend

= $402,000 + $22,672 - ($36,000 × 30)

= $402,000 + $22,672 - $10,800

= $413,872

Compare and contrast anticipatory and response-based business models. Why has responsiveness become popular in supply chain coll

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Forecast and planning

Explanation:

An anticipatory model is a model under which market forecast determines the production of products by the manufacturer, and purchases by retailers also determined by forecasts and promotional plans. Since the forecasts are wrong most of the times, anticipatory model usually leads to differences in the actual production of the firms and what they initially planned to produce.

Anticipatory Model is a risky model because anticipation of future events always determines the work to do by the firm.

On the contrary, the Responsive Business Model does not depend on forecasts, but ensure that what to be done are adequately planned and information among firms in the supply chain are properly exchanged. This makes the model not to be risky and ensure doing more than what has already been planned is avoided. Therefore, the aim of the responsive model which also known as Pull Model is to eliminate reliance on forecast.

The major reason the Responsive Model has become popular in supply chain collaborations is that it allows for the customization of products on smaller orders by customers. However, the Anticipatory Model does not give customers any choice or power but to buy or not buy.
