A​ check-processing center uses exponential smoothing to forecast the number of incoming checks each month. The number of checks

received in June was 40 ​million, while the forecast was 42 million. A smoothing constant of 0.20 is used. ​a) Using exponential smoothing and given alpha​, the forecast for the month of July​ = nothing million checks received ​(round your response to one decimal​ place). ​b) If the​ check-processing center received 45 million checks in the month of​ July, then using exponential smoothing and given alpha​, the forecast for the month of August​ = nothing million checks received ​(round your response to one decimal​ place).

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>

Assume the prior year ending inventory was understated by $ 50,000 . Explain how this error would affect the prior year and curr
adelina 88 [10]

When Prior year ending inventory understated by $ 50,000 :

If the ending inventory of the prior year has been understated then the COGS of the prior year get overstated which ultimately understated Pretax income by the same margin.

Prior year ending inventory is the current year opening inventory,  so when the prior year ending inventory has been understated that means the current year opening inventory is also getting understated.  Which resulted in an understatement of COGS and due to which pretax income of the current year gets overstated by the same margin.  

Total pretax income of the two years = $ (50,000) + $ 50,000 = Nil ( No effect).

The four most commonly used inventory types are Raw Materials, Work in Process (WIP), Finished Goods, Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO). Knowing the nature of your inventory will help you manage your inventory better and smarter. Consider a fashion retailer like Zara, which operates seasonally.

Answer:

Total cost formula= 3,510 + 4.911*x

x= Number of instruments

Explanation:

<u>To calculate the variable and fixed costs, we will use the high-low method:</u>

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (10,012 - 6,574) / (1,324 - 624)

Variable cost per unit= $4.911

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 10,012 - (4.911*1,324)

Fixed costs= $3,510

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 6,574 - (4.911*624)

Fixed costs= $3,510

Total cost formula= 3,510 + 4.911*x

x= Number of instruments

For 1,192 instruments:

Total cos= 3,510 + 4.911*1,192

Total cost= $9,363.9
