t-3 = 0.2, w t-2 = 0.3 and w t1 = 0.4. Demand observed in the previous four periods was as follows: A t-4 = 380, A t-3 = 410, A t-2 = 390, A t-1 = 400. What will be the demand forecast for period t?a. 399

Answer:

Option (e) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weights for the periods:

w_t-4 = 0.1,

w_t-3 = 0.2,

w_t-2 = 0.3

w_t-1 = 0.4

Demand observed in the previous four periods:

A_t-4 = 380

A_t-3 = 410

A_t-2 = 390

A_t-1 = 400

Demand forecast for period t:

= (w_t-4 × A_t-4) + (w_t-3 × A_t-3) + (w_t-2 × A_t-2) + (w_t-1 × A_t-1)

= (0.1 × 380) + (0.2 × 410) + (0.3 × 390) + (0.4 × 400)

= 397

laila [671]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Beginning work in process = $4,000

Ending work in process in finishing department = $6,000

Cost transferred = $47,000

Direct material = $15,000

Direct labor  = $46,000

Overhead  = $22,000

Cost incurred in finishing department:

= Beginning work in process + Cost transferred + Direct material + Direct labor + Overhead

= $4,000 + $47,000 + $15,000 + $46,000 + $22,000

= $134,000

Cost of goods transferred to the Finished Goods Inventory account:

= Cost incurred in finishing - Ending work in process

= $134,000 - $6,000

= $128,000
