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

4.The inflation rate in the U.S. is 3%, while the inflation rate in Japan is 1.5%. The current exchange rate is $1 equal to 105
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

103.4709          

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

U.S inflation rate = 3%

Japan inflation rate = 1.5%

Current exchange rate = 105

Now the new exchange rate for the yen is

= Current exchange rate × (1 + Japan inflation rate) ÷ (1 + U.S inflation rate)

= 105 × (1 + 1.5%) ÷ (1 + 3%)

= 105 × (1.015 ÷ 1.03)

= 105 × 0.985436893

= 103.4709

Your investment has a 20% chance of earning a 30% rate of return, a 50% chance of earning a 10% rate of return, and a 30% chance
stellarik [79]

Answer:

9.2%

Explanation:

expected return of the investment = potential return x chance of each return happening

Expected return of the investment:

  • 20% chance of occurring x 30% potential return = 0.2 x 30% = 6%
  • 50% chance of occurring x 10% potential return = 0.5 x 10% = 5%
  • 30% chance of occurring x -6% potential return = 0.3 x -6% = -1.8%
  • total expected return = 9.2%

You own one call option with an exercise price of $30 on Nadia stock. This stock is currently selling for $27.80 a share but is
Shalnov [3]

Answer: 0.755

Explanation:

From the information given, the current per share value of the option if it expires in one year will be calculated as follows:

Firstly, we calculate the present value which will be:

= $28 / ( 1 + 0.05 )

= $28/1.05

= $26.667

The number of options needed will be:

= ( 34 - 28 )/ ( 4-0)

= 6/4

= 1.5

Therefore,

27.80 = (1.5 x Co) + [28 / (1+0.05)]

27.80 = 1.5Co + (28/1.05)

27.80 = 1.5Co + 26.667

1.5Co = 28.0 - 26.667

1.5Co = 1.1333

Co = 0.755

Therefore, the answer is 0.755

It is a series of payments that is made or received over a predetermined period of time.
