Answer:

Explanation:

exponential smoothing alpha = 0.5

formula = Previous demand x Alpha + previous forecast x (1 - alpha)

26   32   40   27    30

26  26  29  34.5  30.75

week 2 forecast

26x0.5 + 26x0.5 = 26.

week 3 forecast

32x0.5 + 26x0.5 = 29

use the same procedure for week 4 and week 5

week 6

30x0.5 + 30.75x0.5 = 30.375

Demand Forecast for week 6 = 30.38

Suppose you purchase one share of the stock of Red Devil Corporation at the beginning of year 1 for $42.50. At the end of year 1
kkurt [141]

Answer:

17.76%

Explanation:

The computation of the time-weighted return on your investment is given below

But before that we have to do the following calculations

Year 1 = ($46.50 - $42.50) + 2 ÷ ($42.50) × 100 = 14.12%

Year 2 = ($54.50 - $46.50) + 2 ÷ ($46.50) × 100 = 21.51%

Now the time weighted return is

(1 + t)^2 = (1 + 14.12%) × (1 + 21.51%)

= 1.1412 × 1.2151

= √1.3867 - 1

= 17.76%

The numerator of the return on common stockholders' equity is_____________. a.income before income tax b.operating income minus
elena-s [515]

The numerator of the return on common stockholders' equity is net income minus preferred dividends.

Option d

<u>Explanation:</u>

Return on common stockholders' equity which is also named as return on equity (ROE) ratio evaluates the accomplishment of a company in resulting income for the benefit of common stakeholders.

<em>Use of return on equity:</em>

  • Isolates common equity returns
  • Can be used to evaluate dividends
  • Evaluates the use of capital by the management

It is calculated by income available for stockholders divided by the total number of common stock and is expressed or represented in percentage. Income available for common stockholders can be arrived by reducing preference dividends from Net income.

That is, \text { Net income }-\text { Preference dividends }=\text { Equity available for common stockholder }

Hence, net income minus preferred dividends is the right answer.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The amount of the gift is 566,371.6814

Explanation:

Average rate of return = Average net profit / average investment

Average rate of return = 5.65% (5.65/100 = 0.0565)

average net profit = 32000

average investment =  unknown

to calculate the amount of the gift which is investment in this case the same formula for Average rate of return will be used i.e

Average rate of return = Average net profit / average investment

0.0565 = 32, 000/ x

cross multiply

0.0565 x = 32,000

divide both sides by 0.0565

x = 32,000/0.0565

32,000/ 0.0565 = x  

x = 566,371.6814

The amount of the gift  is 566,371.6814
