Using the 
for the 1st 
for the 1st week so as the error measurement begins in the second week.
The exponential soothing, α = 0.1
Week Actual service calls Forecast
1 28 28
2 34 (28 + 0.1 x (28-28)) = 28
3. 38 (28 + 0.1 x (34-28)) = 28.60
4. 27 (28.60 + 0.1 x (38-28.60)) = 29.54
5. 25 (29.54 + 0.1 x (27-29.54)) = 29.29
6 (29.29 + 0.1 x (25-29.29)) = 28.86
Therefore, the forecast for the week 6 = 28.86
Answer:
(D) $ 1,450
Explanation:
The ending balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts is calculated by the following equation.
Opening Balance + Allowance for the year - Receivables written off = Ending Balance
$ 1,610 + $ 1,590 (0.5 % of sales on credit, $ 318,000 *0.5%) - $ 1,750 ( Receivables written off) = Adjusted allowance for uncollectible accounts <u>$ 1,450</u>
The amounts collected are not relevant in calculating the ending balalnce
Answer:
Company A's price per share is $45
Explanation:
The P/E ratio of one company can be used by investors and analysts to determine the value of another companie's stock in the industry. This is called apples-to-apples comparism.
The P/E ratio is used to value a company by comparing its share price to earnings per share.
P/E ratio= market value of shares/ earnings per share
For company B
P/E ratio= 30/2= $15
Using company B's P/E ratio as a benchmark for company A
15= Price per share /3
Price per share = 15*3= $45
The above answer can be explained as under -
Given,
Current Liabilities = $ 4,590
Net working capital = $ 2,170
So, the current assets will be calculated as under -
Net working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
$ 2,170 = Current assets - $ 4,590
Current assets = $ 2,170 + $ 4,590
Current assets = $ 6,760
The liquid or quick assets will be calculated as -
Current assets - Inventory = Quick assets
Quick assets = $ 6,760 - $ 3,860
Quick assets = $ 2,900.
Now,
1. Current ratio = 
Current ratio = 
= 1.47
2. Quick ratio = 
Quick ratio = 
= 0.63
