Answer:

The answer is C: 14300

Note: The actual answer is 14296, <em>and </em>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.
  1. Calculating the forecast for period 5:

Data:

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

Putting <em>values in the formula:</em>

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

F_{5} = 14000 + 0.4 (740)

F_{5} = 14000 + 296

F_{5} = 14296

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The answer is option B)  According to the Lewis two-sector model the creation of a Modern (urban) Sector will:

Create a flow of labor from the traditional sector into the modern sector.

Explanation:

The two sector model propounded by W. Arthur Lewis is a theory of development that identifies two sectors: the traditional and modern sector.

According to this theory, the creation of a modern sector will generate a flow of excess labor from the traditional sector to the urban sector where there is more demand for labor.

Over time, this migration will create more jobs, stimulate industrialization and a framework for sustainable development.
