Answer:
The forecast for the year 2012 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 366.04.
Explanation:
The first step in order to solve this question/problem is to calculate or determine the Exponentially smoothed forecast for a period of time, t using the values of average demand for 2005 through 2007, that is to say;
Exponentially smoothed forecast for a period of time, t using the values of average demand for 2005 through 2007 = [actual sales in 2005 + actual sales in 2006 + actual sales in 2007]/ 3.
Therefore, Exponentially smoothed forecast for a period of time, t using the values of average demand for 2005 through 2007 =[ 281 + 367 + 409]/3 = 1057/3 = 352.3.
Since we are asked to use the smoothed value calculated as of the end of 2012. Use the average demand for 2005 through 2007 as your initial forecast for 2008, then, we have that for 2008 the forecast = 352.3.
Therefore, the forecast from the year 2009 through to the year 2012 can be calculated as given below;
The forecast for the year 2009 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 467 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 375.24.
The forecast for the year 2010 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 369 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 355.64.
The forecast for the year 2011 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 511 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 384.04.
The forecast for the year 2012 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 421 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 366.04.
Answer:
The balance of trade will not change but the balance of payment will improve.
Explanation:
A balance of trade is defined as the difference between country's export and import value during a given period of time.
A balance of payment can be defined as a statement which keeps record of all the monetary transaction, that are made between the country's resident and rest of the world during a specific period of time.
Purchase of U.S government securities by Japanese insurance company will surely improve the balance of payment from the U.S perspective but the balance of trade with Japan is not likely going to change.
Answer:
deposits.
Explanation:
The liabilities of the commercial banking system involves capital that includes cash reserves, deposited, debts, checking, saving amount,
The deposits could be in terms of saving deposit, fixed deposits, etc
Therefore in the given case, the deposits are the commercial banking liabilities and the rest options like loan & deposits, reserve and loans, etc are not the liabilities so these are wrong options.
Answer:
sale price is $0.78
Explanation:
Given data
assets = $10,000,000
rate = 7% = 0.07
Sales volume = 350,000 units per year
Variable costs = $16 per unit
Fixed costs = $1,500,000 per year
to find out
sales price per unit
solution
we find required return that i s
return = asset × rate
return = 10,000,000 × 0.07
return = $700000
so here total cost = Sales volume × Variable costs + fixed cost
put here all these value
total cost = 350000 × 16 + 1,500,000
total cost = $7100000
so now for sale price
sale price = total cost + required return / sale
put all these value
sale price = ( 7100000 + 700000 ) / 10,000,000
sale price is $0.78
