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>
Answer:
- Used its fixed assets more efficiently.
- Had a greater increase in sales relative to its fixed assets.
Explanation:Fixed assets are long term assets that a company acquires,they are also tangible and are non current in nature. This type of assets appear in a company's balance sheet buildings,equipments,lands etc.
WHEN A FIXED ASSET IS EFFICIENTLY UTILIZED IT WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE A HIGHER TURNOVER.
IT CAN ALSO MEAN THAT THE ASSET HAD A GREATER INCREASE IN SALES RELATIVE TO ITS FIXED ASSET.
Answer: 13.2%
Explanation:
Given data:
No of stores in the market = 5000
No. of store owners = 2000.
Allison charges = $8/month
Sam charges = $8/month.
Solution:
The market penetration rate would be calculated based on potential customers.
Using our general formula,
Market penetration=Numbers of customers who purchased Allison derived sales and Sam derived sales /Total potential population
Where,
Total potential population=1,500
•Allison derived sales = 129 customers
•Sam derived sales = 69 customers
•Numbers of customers who purchased Allison derived sales and Sam derived sales=129 customers+ 69 customers
•Numbers of customers who purchased Allison derived sales and Sam derived sales =198 customers
Let’s input this into our general formula.
Market penetration
= 169 customers/1,500
= 0.132*100
= 13.2%
The market penetration rate based on potential customers is 13.2%
Answer:
The correct option is A
Explanation:
When a currency depreciates it means it loses its value.
For the yen to depreciate by 8% it means that a dollar will buy more yen than it did today. by tomorrow. So, to calculate it we times the current price of the yen by the depreciation factor
144×0.8= 11.52
adding the depreciation factor to the current price of the yen
144+11.52=155.52
so by tomorrow $1=155.5yen
