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

Market equilibrium Consider the demand function of tofu given by Qd = 150 – 10p + 5pb and the supply function of tofu given by Q
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

a) Qs = 50 + 20p - 7ps

= 50 + 20p - 7×(2)

= 50 + 20p - 14

= 36 + 20p

At equilibrium, Q_{d} = Q_{s}

So, 150 - 10p + 5p_{b} = 36 + 20p

So, 20p + 10p = 30p

= 150 - 36 + 5p_{b}

= 114 + 5p_{b}

So, p = (114/30) + (5/30)p_{b}

= 3.8 + 0.17p_{b}

Thus, p_{e} = 3.8 + 0.17p_{b}

Q = 36 + 20p

= 36 + 20(3.8 + 0.17p_{b})

= 36 + 76 + 3.4p_{b}

= 112 + 3.4p_{b}

Thus, Q_{e} = 112 + 3.4p_{b}

b) p_{e} = 3.8 + 0.17p_{b}

= 3.8 + 0.17×(5)

= 3.8 + .85

= 4.65

Q_{e} = 112 + 3.4_{b}

= 112 + 3.4(5)

= 112 + 17

= 129

c) Qd = 150 - 10p + 5pb = 150 - 10(2.5) + 5(5) = 150 - 25 + 25 = 150

Qs = 36 + 20p = 36 + 20(2.5) = 36 + 50 = 86

Thus, there is excess demand as Q_{d} > Q_{s}

d) New Q_{d}= 180 - 10p + 5p_{b}

= 180 - 10p + 5×(5)

= 180 - 10p + 25

= 205 - 10p

Now, new Q_{d} = Q_{s} gives,

205 - 10p = 36 + 20p

So, 20p + 10p = 205 - 36

So, 30p = 169

So, p = 169÷30

So, p_{e} = 5.63

Q = 205 - 10p = 205 - 10×(5.63) = 205 - 56.3 = 148.7

So, Q_{e} = 148.7

Sheridan Company uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 485 units that
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Value of closing inventory = $25771.04

Explanation:

To calculate the value of ending inventory under a periodic average cost method, we will calculate the average price per unit of inventory at the end of the month. To calculate the average price per unit, we simply divide the total cost of the inventory by the total number of units for the month.

Average cost per unit = Total cost of all units for the month / Total units available for the month

<u />

<u>Total cost of all units:</u>

Beginning inventory (485 * 66)            32010

Purchase 1     (725 * 69)                        50025

Purchase 2     (364 * 71)                    <u>    25844</u>

Total                                                       107879

<u>Total Units</u>

Beginning Inventory     485

Purchase 1                     725

Purchase 2                    <u>364</u>

Total                              1574

Average cost per unit =   107879 / 1574

Average cost per unit = $68.54

Units of closing inventory = 1574 - 1198     =   376 units

Value of closing inventory =  376 * 68.54

Value of closing inventory = $25771.04

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Total cost= $650,857

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

At an activity level of 6,900 units in a month, Zeus Corporation's total variable maintenance and repair cost is $408,756, and its total fixed maintenance and repair cost is $230,253.

<u>We need to calculate the total cost of 7,100 units. Because it is between the relevant range, fixed costs will remain the same. We need to determine the unitary variable cost.</u>

Unitary variable cost= total variable cost/ unit

Unitary variable cost= 408,756/6,900= $59.24

Total cost= 59.24*7,100 + 230,253= $650,857
