Scrat [10]

Answer:

A 4-month weighted moving average forecast for July would be 137.50.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as the appended information is not provided. To complete the question, the appended information is therefore before answering the question as follows:

Month Actual Demand

January 120

February 95

March 100

April 25

May 200

June 25

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

The most recent month = June

The month preceding the most recent month = May

The month preceding that one = April

Last month = March

Therefore, we have:

Forecast for July = (June actual demand * 30%) + (May actual demand * 50%) + (April actual demand * 40%) + (March actual demand * 20%) = (25* 30%) + (200 * 50%) + (25 * 40%) + (100 * 20%) = 137.50

Therefore, a 4-month weighted moving average forecast for July would be 137.50.

Find the APR, or stated rate, in each of the following cases (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Stated Rate No. of Times Compounded Effective Rate (EAR) %

11.85% Semiannually 12.2 %

12.37% Monthly 13.1%

110.27% Weekly 10.8%

13.54% Infinite 14.5%

Explanation:

EAR = ( 1 + ( APR / m )^m)-1

Semiannually

m = 12 / 6 = 2

0.1220 = ( ( 1 + ( APR / 2 ) )^2) - 1

0.1220 + 1 = (1 + ( APR / 2 ) )^2

1.1220 = ( 1 + ( APR / 2 ) )^2

$\sqrt{1.1220}$ = $\sqrt{( 1 + ( APR / 2 ))^2}$

1.059 = 1 + ( APR / 2 )

1.059 - 1 = APR / 2

0.059 x 2 = APR

APR = 0.1185 = 11.85%

Monthly

m = 12 / 1 = 12

0.1310 = ( ( 1 + ( APR / 12 ) )^12) - 1

0.1310 + 1 = (1 + ( APR / 12 ) )^12

1.1310 = ( 1 + ( APR / 12 ) )^12

APR = 12.37%

Weekly

m = 52

0.1080 = ( ( 1 + ( APR / 52 ) )^52) - 1

0.1080 + 1 = (1 + ( APR / 52 ) )^52

1.1080 = ( 1 + ( APR / 52 ) )^52

APR = 10.27%

Infinite

m = 20,000

0.1450 = ( ( 1 + ( APR / 12 ) )^12) - 1

0.1450 + 1 = (1 + ( APR / 12 ) )^12

1.1450 = ( 1 + ( APR / 20,000 ) )^20,000

APR = 13.54%

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

200 cookies

Explanation:

The concept of opportunity cost arises as a result of the limited resources available to satisfy the unlimited human wants.

Opportunity cost is the cost or worth of the item forgone from the list of wants. Hence is is also called real cost or opportunity foregone.

The scale of preference ranks the wants in the order of preference.

If the resources available can only satisfy the first want, the second on the list is the opportunity cost.

As such, Susan's opportunity cost is the 200 cookies she failed to bake.
