The Carbondale Hospital is considering the purchase of ambulance. The TheXarbondale Hospital is considering the purchase of ambu

lance. The decision will rest partly on the anticipated mileage" be driven next year. The miles driven during the past 5
years are as follows:
Year Mileage
1 3000
2 4000
3 3400
4 3800
5 3700
a) Forecast the mileage for next year using a 2-year moving average.
b) Find the MAD based on the 2-year moving average forecast in part (a), (Hint: You will have only 3 years of matched data.)
c) Use a weighted 2-year moving average with weights of .4 and .6 to forecast next year's mileage. (The weight of .6 is for the most recent year.) What MAD results from using this approach to forecasting? (Hint: You will have only 3 years of matched data.)
d) Compute the forecast for year 6 using exponential smoothing, an initial forecast for year 1 of 3,000 miles, and a = .5.

Answer:

Explanation:

A) using 2-year moving average :

Year 6 : (3800 + 3700) = 7500 / 2 = 3750

2) Mean absolute deviation based on the forecast above :

(3000 + 4000) = 7000/2 = 3500

(4000 + 3400) = 7400/2 = 3700

(3400 + 3800) = 7200/2 = 3600

3000

4000

3400 __3500__100

3800__3700__100

3700__3600__100

Mean absolute deviation = (100 + 100 + 100) /3 = 300/3 = 100

C) weight of 0.4 and 0.6

(0.4*3000 + 0.6*4000) = 3600

(0.4*4000 + 0.6*3400) = 3640

(0.4*3400 + 0.6*3800) = 3640

3000

4000

3400 __3600__200

3800__3640__160

3700__3640__60

(200 + 160 + 60) = 420 / 3 = 140

EuroRail and Swiss Rail are hypothetical railways that have a duopoly on the route that connects the cities of Zurich and Munich
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Select the answer that best describes the strategies in this game.

  • Both companies dominant strategy is to add the train.

Does a Nash equilibrium exist in this game?

  • A Nash equilibrium exists where both companies add a train. (Since I'm not sure how your matrix is set up I do not know the specific location).

Explanation:

we can prepare a matrix to determine the best strategy:

                                                  Swiss Rails

                                     add train             do not add train

                                    $1,500 /             $2,000 /

           add train                     $4,000                $7,500

EuroRail

      do not add train    $4,000 /             $3,000 /

                                               $2,000                $3,000

Swiss Rails' dominant strategy is to add the train = $1,500 + $4,000 = $5,500. The additional revenue generated by not adding = $5,000.

EuroRail's dominant strategy is to add the train = $4,000 + $7,500 = $11,500. The additional revenue generated by not adding = $5,000.

A Nash equilibrium exists because both companies' dominant strategy is to add a train.

A $600,000 state lottery prize is spread evenly over twelve years ($50,000 a year) (Alternative 1), or you may take a lump distr
scZoUnD [109]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the present values of both alternatives is shown below:

For alternative one, the lump sum amount is

= Yearly payment × PVIFA factor at 8% for 12 years

= $50,000 × 7.5361

= $376,805

And, in the alternative 2, the lumpsum amount i.e. present value is $452,000

So as we can see that the alternative 2 is better as the lumspsum amount is high as compared with the alternative 1
