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

Josh's weekly budget for lunch is $24. He eats only pizza and burgers. Each pizza costs $6 and each burger costs $3. Josh knows
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The answer is: Josh's utility maximizing point is when he buys 2 pizzas and 4 burgers.

Explanation:

If Josh gets equal marginal utility per dollar spent when buying one pizza and 2 burgers, that means that every pizza and every burger give Josh 10.67 utility unit per dollar spent. So Josh can obtain maximum 16 units of utility with his budget and his purchasing options (= $24 x 0.67 units of utility per dollar). The way he can maximize his utility is by buying two packs of one pizza and two burgers per pack, since every pack will give him 8 units of utility.

Jan 1 2016

Dr Cash $ 129,352,725

Dr Discount on issue of bonds $20,647,275

Cr Bonds payable $150,000,000

3. June 30, 2016

Dr Interest expense $8,188,243

4. December 31, 2023

Dr Interest expense $8,188,243

Cr Discount on bonds payable $688,243

Cr Cash $7,500,000

Explanation:

1. Calculation to Determine the price of the bonds at January 1, 2016

First step is to find Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1: n = 30, i = 6% (PVA of $1) using ordinary annuity table

Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1: n = 30, i = 6% (PVA of $1)

Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1=13.76483

Second step is to find the Present value of $1: n = 30, i = 6% (PV of $1)

Present value of $1: n = 30, i = 6% (PV of $1)=0.17411

Now let calculate the Price of the bonds at January 1, 2016

Interest $ 103,236,225

[(10%/2 semiannually*$150,000,000) *13.76483]

Add Principal $26,116,500

($150,000,000 *0.17411 )

Present value (price) of the bonds $ 129,352,725

($ 103,236,225+$26,116,500)

Therefore the Price of the bonds at January 1, 2016 will be $ 129,352,725

2. Preparation of the journal entry to record their issuance by Universal Foods on January 1, 2016.

Jan 1 2016

Dr Cash $ 129,352,725

Dr Discount on issue of bonds $20,647,275

($150,000,000-$ 129,352,725)

Cr Bonds payable $150,000,000

(Being to record issue of Bond)

3. Preparation of the journal entry to record interest on June 30, 2016

June 30, 2016

Dr Interest expense $8,188,243

($7,500,000 + $688,243)

Cr Discount on bonds payable $688,243

($20,647,275 ÷ 30)

Cr Cash $7,500,000

(10%/2 × $150,000,000)

(Being to record interest paid)

4. Preparation of the journal entry to record interest on December 31, 2023.

December 31, 2023

Dr Interest expense $8,188,243

($7,500,000 + $688,243)

Cr Discount on bonds payable $688,243

($20,647,275 ÷ 30)

Cr Cash $7,500,000

(10%/2× $150,000,000)

(Being to record interest paid)
