Answer: This Week's forecast  = 78 appointments

Explanation:

4 Weeks ago = 95 , 3 Weeks ago =80 , 2 Weeks ago = 65 , last Week = 50

forecast : 2 weeks ago = 90

alpha = 0.20

exponential smoothing = recent previous appointment x a + forecast(1-a)

Forecast (last week) = 65 x 0.20 + 90 x (1 - 0.20)

Forecast (last week) = 13 + 72 = 85

Forecast for this week = 50 x 0.20 + 85 x (1 - 0.20)

Forecast for this week = 10 + 68 = 78

This Week's forecast would be 78 appointments

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The amount of stockholders' equity as of July 1 of the current year is $39,994

Explanation:

In John Wong, DVM, on July 1 of the current year:

Total asset = Cash + Accounts Receivable + Supplies + Land = $10,687 + $8,307 + $1,853 + $24,857 = $45,704

Liabilities = Accounts Payable = $5,710

Basing on accounting equation:

Total asset = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders' Equity  = Total asset - Liabilities = $45,704 - $5,710 = $39,994

Benton Engineering Services Company incurred the following during 2016 Direct labor $94,000 Overhead 126,000 Selling expenses 11
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Prime cost = $94,000

<em>Conversion cost</em> =  $135,400.

Explanation:

<em>Prime cost is the addition of direct material cost , direct labor cost and direct expenses.</em>

<em>Conversion cost is the cost of converting raw materials into finished product. It s the sum of direct labour cost and production overheads.</em>

For Bento Engineering,

<em>Prime cost = direct labour cost  (since no figure is given for direct material and direct expenses.)</em>

Prime cost = $94,000

Conversion cost = Direct labour cost + overheads

<em>Conversion cost</em> = $94,000 + 126,000

                          =  $135,400.

Prime cost = $94,000

<em>Conversion cost</em> =  $135,400.

Explain why to maximize profits a firm needs to produce an output at a level where marginal revenue
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Rest of question:

... equals marginal cost.

Firms will maximize profits at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost because producing after this point means that no profits will be made.

As long as the Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, there will be profits made because the company is making more than it is spending so they should keep producing. When it gets to a point in production where the marginal revenue equals marginal cost, the company should not produce further than that.

This is because, as earlier mentioned, any further production would result in the marginal cost being larger than the marginal revenue which means that a loss will be made. The company should therefore stop at the point where MR = MC so as not to let MC get larger than MR so that no losses will be made.
