Complete Question:
Fed up with her working conditions at the call center, Lisa decides to invest in a state-of-the-art sewing machine and produce limited quantities of her own clothing designs. After a few months of operation, she decides to apply some of the forecasting techniques she mastered in school. Which of these statements about her forecasts is correct?
- Her forecasts will probably be 100% accurate.
- Her demand forecasts for a year from now will probably be more accurate than her demand forecasts for three months from now.
- Her demand forecasts for each style of skirt will be less accurate than her demand forecasts for all skirts.
- The best way for her to determine the amount of fabric she needs is to forecast it based on her customer orders for each type of skirt.
Answer:
Option 4 is the correct answer
Explanation:
Because the only best way to forecast the amount of fabric required for the is dependent upon the number of customer orders for each type of skirt she receives.
Remember that the forecasting cannot be 100% correct because we human and we cannot tell the future with 100% surety. All we can do is guessing what would happen.
With the help of past data we can better estimate the demand. As their is no past data available we can make a reliable forecast of the skirt sales.
Option 3 is also incorrect because forecasting is dependant upon the reliable source of information which helps in estimating what would happen. Estimating single or combined sales is not a reliable source of information.

Answer:
The price elasticity of demand is -3.7
Explanation:
Price Elasticity of demand measure the responsiveness of demand against the change in price of the product.
Simple percentage method calculate the price elasticity by taking ratio of percentage change in Demand to percentage change in price of the product.
Percentage change in Demand = ( Revised demand - Initial demand ) / Initial demand
Percentage change in Demand = ( 182 riders - 472 riders ) / 472 riders = -0.6144 = -61.44%
Percentage change in Price = ( Revised Price - Initial Price ) / Initial Price
Percentage change in Price = ( $0.78 - $0.67 ) / $0.67 = 0.1642 = 16.42%
Price Elasticity = Percentage change in Demand / Percentage change in price
Price Elasticity = -61.44% / 16.42% = -3.74 = -3.7
Answer: When a market price allocates resources, everyone who is able to pay the price gets the resource.
Explanation:
The market allocates prices to goods and services based on the scarcity of the said goods and services. This means that regardless of how scarce a good is, you can get it if you are willing to pay the price that it is being offered at.
For instance, if the price of tomatoes suddenly went up from $4 to $12 per pack, it means that tomatoes are now more scarce and not many people can afford it. If you can afford that $12 however, you will be able to get the tomatoes despite how scarce it is.
Answer:
B)factory overhead cost volume variance
Explanation:
From the question, there was an an assumption that the standard fixed overhead rate is based on full capacity, in this case the cost of available but unused productive capacity is indicated by the factory overhead cost volume variance. Factory overhead cost volume variance can be regarded as the difference that exist between the fixed overhead that is associated to those good/ service from the firm on production volume and the budgeted amount that is associated to goods) services that are been produced. fixed overhead costs
could be Factory rent and others.
