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>

Vesna [10]

Answer:

B) should pack her bags for the trip; she earned it

Explanation:

In this scenario, it can be said that if the client purchases that annuity, the agent should pack her bags for the trip; she earned it. Since the annuity that has been recommended by the agent is offering her an incentive, and the agent fully disclosed that fact to the client, then she did her duty correctly. In the case that the client decides to purchase the annuity, they do so with full knowledge of the potential conflict of interest.

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The increase in his tax liability is $1,120

Explanation:

STCL due to sale of stock = $8,000

LTCG due to sale of stock = $5,000

∴Net STCL = $8,000 - $5,000

 Net STCL = $3,000

LTCG on sale of antique clock = $7,000

∴Net LTCG on sale of antique = $7,000 - $3,000 = $4,000

LTCG on sale of antiques is taxed at the rate of 28%

∴ Tax liability = $4,000 * 28%

  Tax liability = $4,000 * 0.28

  Tax liability = $1,120
