Answer:
a. 41.6 million
b. 42.28 million
Explanation:
A) GIven
forecast in june = Sjune = 42 million
Checks recived in june = Xjune = 40 million
Smoothing constant = a = 0.2
So for july
Sjuly = a*Xjune + (1-a)*Sjune
=0.2*40 + (1-0.2)*42 million
=8+33.6 = 41.6 million
B) forecast in july = Sjuly = 41.6 million
Checks recived in july = Xjuly = 45 million
Smoothing constant = a = 0.2
So for August
Saugust = a*Xjuly + (1-a)*Sjuly
=0.2*45 + (1-0.2)*41.6 million
=9+33.28 = 42.28 million
<em>Note: This uses an exponential smoothing to forecast the results, but from the number of checks recived we see that it increases linearly. So we need a linear forecasting method .</em>

Answer:
The rate of return on the risky asset is 16% and on treasury bill is 6% and we need a return of (1100-1,000)/1000= 10% or 0.1
If we think of x as the percentage investment in risky asset and 1-x as the investment in non risky asset we can mathematically find what proportion we need to invest in each asset to get this return.
16x+ 6(1-x)=10
16x+6-6x=10
10x=4
x=4/10
x= 0.4
This equation tells us that we should invest 40% in risky assets and 1-x which is 60% in treasury bills. We can test our answer by putting these values and see if the return is 10 %
(0.4*16)+(0.6*6)= Rate of return
Rate of return=10%
10% of 1000 = 100
100+1000=$1100

Answer:
False
Explanation:
The contribution margin will be higher for the company with the highest fixed expenses. Contribution margin = selling price - variable cost
For example:
Company A Company B
sales price per unit $100 $100
total costs per unit $80 $80
variable costs per unit $50 $40
<u>fixed costs per unit $30 $40 </u>
contribution margin $50 $60
