Answer:
A) I can calculate by what percentage mydeco's revenues grew from 2012 to 2016.
total revenue 2012 = $402.5 million
total revenue 2016 = $606.4 million
change in revenue = ($606.4 - $402.5) / $402.5 = $203.9 / $402.5 = 50.66%
B) net income grew by:
net income 2012 = $18.1 million
net income 2016 = $27.4 million
change in net income = ($27.4 - $18.1) / $18.1 = $9.3 / $18.1 = 51.38%
C) For the years 2012 and 2016 the net income was very similar to total revenue, but that didn't happen during 2014 and 2015 since revenues increased, but net income decreased. The problem that mydeco faced during those years was that their costs, both COGS and sales and marketing costs increased by a much larger proportion than revenue. This is specially true for sales and marketing costs that increased almost 50% (between 2012 -2015) while revenues increased only 25%. Probably the company had to invest a lot of resources to rebound their sales since they plummeted in 2013.
<span>Ernest is experiencing the effects of loss of status following the termination.
Once he lost his job, where he was respected as a good worker, he lost that status as well. Now, he is unemployed, and even though he has enough money to sustain himself, he isn't considered part of the workforce anymore, which obviously depressed him a bit, even though he doesn't know it yet.</span>
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Bradley's Copiers sells and repairs photocopy machines. The manager needs weekly forecasts of service calls so that he can schedule service personnel. Use the actual demand in the first period for the forecast for the first week so error measurement begins in the second week. The manager uses exponential smoothing with α = 0.1 . Forecast the number of calls for week 6, which is next week. Week Actual Service Calls 1 2 3 4 5 The forecast for week 6 is ___ service calls. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Solution :
It is given that :
The manager of Bradley's Copiers needs weekly forecast of the service calls so that the manager can schedule service personnel.
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

Explanation:
a)Total Labor Cost for Job 200 = Labor Hours x Direct labor rate
= 2,500 x $ 28
= $ 70,000
b)Total Labor Cost for Job 305 = Labor Hours x Direct labor rate
= 3,000 x $ 24
= $ 72,000
Labor Cost for Job 200 and Job 305 during May = $ 70,000 + $ 72,000
= $ 142,000
