Weekly demand figures at Hot Pizza are as follows:
garri49 [273]

Answer:

MAD:  10.04,  11.53

MAPSE: 10% ,  12%

MSE : 146.33,  178.72

Bias : -0.56 , -0.96

3-week moving average method is better

Explanation:

i ) Evaluate MAD ( average of absolute errors )

using  3 week moving average

= 10.04

using simple exponential smoothing

= 11.53

ii) MAPSE ( average of absolute percentage error )

using 3 week moving average

= 10%

using simple exponential smoothing

= 12%

iii) MSE ( average of Squared Errors )

3 week MV = 146.33 ,  Simple exponential smoothing = 178.72.

iv) Bias

3 week MV = -5/9 = -0.56,  Simple exponential smoothing = -8.69/9 = -0.96.

v) TS  ( Total error / MAD )

3 week MV = -5 / 10.04 = -0.49 ,

simple exponential smoothing  = -8.69 / 11.53 = -0.75

b) I prefer 3-week moving average based on the values of MAD , MAPE, MSE, bias and TS which shows that there is a better estimate when using the 3 -weeks moving average.

Would walmart be able to offer such low prices if they were a different type organization?
zheka24 [161]

No, Walmart won't be able to offer such low prices if they were a different type organization

Walmart might soon follow in the footsteps of Borders booksellers, Sam Goody's record stores, and other once-dominant retailers whose market share shrank and finally collapsed as online sales got steadily larger if it didn't keep its pricing low enough to compete with e-commerce behemoths like Amazon.

Walmart has kept operating costs down since its inception in the early 1960s by heeding the advice of its late founder and namesake Sam Walton. Even after becoming a multi-millionaire, Walton is infamous for still using an old pickup vehicle for transportation. by using low-cost travel choices for executives and by maintaining a simple in-store design.

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. It brings into question the quality of earnings.

Explanation:

It will be taken as management to the action of administering in the most efficient way to that profit that we obtained. When talking about efficiency, it points to the idea that money made up of profit must be spent intelligently.

To understand that not all money from a profit must be spent on personal matters. This does not mean that a certain part is not destined for it, because otherwise there will be no motivation to generate profit on a personal level. That is why it is important to know how to distribute the profit obtained in the most intelligent way possible. For this you only have to allocate 60% (the percentage is estimated the same can vary), to spend the money of a profit on personal expenses. Then one wonders what will happen with the remaining 40% (estimated percentage)? This is where intelligence comes in to manage the profit, this percentage must be used for reinvestment and also to form a contingency fund. This seeks to generate a multiplier effect of the capital earned and also form a "cushion" (savings) for when things are not right.

This type of profit management can be applied either at the company level: where part of the profit is reinvested to grow the business. And in turn it forms a contingency fund for any mishap that can be generated over time.
