Answer:

weighted moving average

Explanation:

Of all these 4 options, the weighted moving average is the most accurate, as it is possible to place specific weights according to their significance.

The other techniques, such as an average, straight line, or exponential curve, assume things. The weighted average can change to any form.

However, the weighted average can be complicated to use if a long time frame is taken.

Additionally, the consumer will most likely want to adjust the weights as time periods pass. That will contribute to the complexity of applying the methods to a wide range of applications, such as predicting inventory item demand.

Hence, the first option is correct

A clothing store has ordered 100,000 swimsuits. It costs $22 to produce a swimsuit. They plan to sell them until August 31 at a
fomenos

Answer:

Total profit = $1800000  @ a given demand level of 100K units of swimsuit.

Explanation:

Lets first develop a formula representing the Total profit for any demand level, see as follows:

(Selling price per unit× d) - (cost per unit× d)= Total profit

We will be using the short forms of the components in this formula.

SP = selling price per unit

d= demand

cp= cost per unit

TP= Total profit.

Now lets substitute the values into the formula to compute profit at any demand level (in this case 100,000 units of swimsuits) as follows:

Total profit = ($40× 100000) - ($22× 100000)

Total profit = $4000,000 - $2200,000

Total profit = $1800000  @ a given demand level of 100K units of swimsuit.

<em />

<em>(NOTE: The formula mentioned above can be used to compute the correct profit for any demand level, even though if there is a change in sp and/or cp, the formula can also be useful.)</em>

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Net inflow from operating ACTIVITIES = $200

Net outflow from investing ACTIVITIES =  $300

Net outflow from financing ACTIVITIES = $50

Ending balance in cash = $20

BEGINNING BALANCE :

Outflows + ending balance - inflow

What is the total manufacturing overhead assigned to the current order for Men's Razors if the firm uses a volume-based plant wi
Brut [27]

Answer:

$7,200

Explanation:

The computation of the total manufacturing overhead assigned is shown below:

= ($168,640 + $127,840 + $554,400 + $1,078,000) ÷ $514,368

= 375% per direct-labor dollar.

Now  

= $514,368 ÷ 8,037

= $64 per DL hour.

And,  

= $64  × 30 direct labor hours

= $1920.

So,  

Manufacturing overhead is

= 1920 × 375%

= $7,200

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer: The correct answer is "a. the ability of management to use accruals to reduce the volatility of reported earnings over time.".

Explanation: Income smoothing refers to <u>the ability of management to use accruals to reduce the volatility of reported earnings over time.</u>
