Answer: 1. 18 times

2. Park is in better position

Explanation:

1. Times interest earned is a financial ratio that measures interest coverage. It's essentially to check if a company can pay it's debt payments and is calculated by either EBIT or EBITDA divided by the total interest expense. The higher the better and anything above 2.5 times is usually considered.

Calculating would therefore be,

= $6,120,000 /$340,000

= 18 times.

2. As mentioned in the first answer, for the Times interest earned, the higher it is, the more favourable it is. So Park Company will be considered safer and are most definitely in a better or worse position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad. The fact that theirs is 18 means that they can pay off their interest expense 5 times more than their competitor who can only repay 12 times.

If you need any clarification do comment.

A​ check-processing center uses exponential smoothing to forecast the number of incoming checks each month. The number of checks
Liula [17]

Answer:

a. 41.6 million

b. 42.28 million

Explanation:

A) GIven

forecast in june = Sjune = 42 million

Checks recived in june = Xjune = 40 million

Smoothing constant = a = 0.2

So for july

Sjuly = a*Xjune + (1-a)*Sjune

=0.2*40 + (1-0.2)*42 million

=8+33.6 = 41.6 million

B) forecast in july = Sjuly = 41.6 million

Checks recived in july = Xjuly = 45 million

Smoothing constant = a = 0.2

So for August

Saugust = a*Xjuly + (1-a)*Sjuly

=0.2*45 + (1-0.2)*41.6 million

=9+33.28 = 42.28 million

<em>Note: This uses an exponential smoothing to forecast the results, but from the number of checks recived we see that it increases linearly. So we need a linear forecasting method .</em>
