Answer:
A. Forecast for July = 42.
B. Forecast for August = 42.45
C. Because of seasonality in the banking industry.
Explanation:
A. Forecast for July = Forecast for June + Smoothing constant x (Forecasting error)
= 42 + 0.15 (42-42) = 42
B. Forecast for August = Forecast for July + 0.15 (Forecasting error)
= 42 + 0.15 (45-42) = 42.45
C. Because there is a great deal of seasonality in the processing requirements of banking industry, this forecasting method (exponential smoothing) might not be appropriate for this situation.
Answer: $13.25
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that an oral auction has bidders willing to pay $4, $6, $9, $12, $13, and $15 for an item.
Based on the above scenario, the winning bidder will pay a little more than $13 or $13.25. This is because the bidder with the highest pay is willing to pay $15 but since the next person is willing to pay $13, that means the next bidder will price it at an amount that is a little bit above $13 which is $13.25.
Answer:
b. Cost of Goods Sold, Work-in-Process Inventory, and Finished-Goods Inventory.
Explanation:
Whenever manufacturing overheads are prorated and under-applied or over-applied, then they are charged to inventory or cost which includes overheads as part of it.
As for instance, raw material inventory do not include any overheads, it is just the purchase price of inventory, as no work is performed on it.
Cost of goods sold, includes all the cost incurred to sale the good, from acquiring raw material to converting finished goods, and then adding the sales expense the goods are sold.
Finished goods include every material and overhead to convert the item into finished state and usable state.
Work in process is half way completed, or the percentage prescribed and includes raw material, includes overheads, but the product is somewhere more than raw inventory and less than finished good.
Therefore, correct option is:
b.
