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

Sheridan Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,322,900 and retained earnings of $4,854,000 at December 31, 2020
NemiM [27]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

1. Corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold

= Cost of goods sold for 2020 - December 31, 2019 ending inventories overstated + December 31, 2020 ending inventories overstated

= $1,322,900 - $106,470 + $36,820

= $1,253,250

2. Correct amounts for December 31, 2020 retained earnings

= Retained earnings December 31, 2020 - December 31, 2020 ending inventories overstated

= 4,854,000 - $36,820

= $4,817,180

Reika [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

They are pretty much asking what you want to pursue. For example, if you are going for a career in Information Technology, one of your goals may be learn Robotics or Artificial Intelligence. Another goal may be to learn the necessary skills and work for a startup. The goals are anything that you want to achieve, and in this case it would be related to the field that you are going to study in the college that you are applying to. Therefore, simply write what you think you want your life to be like in the future with what you learn in college.

budget deficit = savings + trade deficit - investments

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

$45,000

Explanation:

Value of Franchise will be amortized on its useful life.

Value of Franchise = $50,000

Useful life = 10 years

Amortization as on December 31, 2016 = 50000/10 = $5000

Revenue and Franchise operating cost have nothing to do with the value of Intangible asset and amortization. All of these are operating entering which will be dealt in the income statement instead account for as value of Intangible asset.
