Answer:

114

Explanation:

For computing the forecast value for the resulting year, we have to apply the formula which is shown below:

= Actual demand × alpha + forecast demand × ( 1-  alpha)

= 90 × 0.2 + 120 × (1 - 0.2)

=  18 + 96

= 114

To compute the forecast value we have to deduct the alpha from the forecast demand and multiply the alpha with the actual demand

viva [34]

Setting the pay according to the goals achieved by a group may not be considered beneficial to everyone, thus decreasing motivation. Pay-for-performance or according to individual performance may help motivate the employee but increasing individuality in terms of performance may also decrease group cohesiveness or group-related values. The speaker here shows depreciation by undervaluing another's work to overvalue or protect one's own.

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Gross pay:

  • consultant $4,000
  • computer programmer $3,300
  • administrator $2,800

Net pay:

  • consultant $2,767.98
  • computer programmer $2,295.48
  • administrator $1,993.98

Explanation:

                                           regular earnings     overtime    withholding  

                                                                                              allowances

Consultant                        $4,000 per week       N/A                2

Computer programmer          $60 per hour        1.5                  1

Administrator                          $50 per hour          2                  2

computer programmer worked 50 hours = ($60 x 40) + ($60 x 10 x 1.5) = $3,300

administrator worked 48 hours = ($50 x 40) + ($50 x 8 x 2) = $2,800

Social security taxes:

  • Consultant = 6% x $4,000 = $240                        
  • Computer programmer = 6% x $3,300 = $198        
  • Administrator = 6% x $2,800 = $168

Medicare taxes:

  • Consultant = 1.5% x $4,000 = $60                        
  • Computer programmer = 1.5% x $3,300 = $49.50        
  • Administrator = 1.5% x $2,800 = $42

Federal income taxes:

  • Consultant: amount subject to withholding = $4,000 - (2 x $75) = $3,850. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,850 - $1,796) = $932.02                        
  • Computer programmer = amount subject to withholding = $3,300 - (1 x $75) = $3,225. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,225 - $1,796) = $757.02            
  • Administrator = amount subject to withholding = $2,800 - (2 x $75) = $2,650. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($2,650 - $1,796) = $596.02  

Gross pay:

  • consultant $4,000
  • computer programmer $3,300
  • administrator $2,800

Net pay:

  • consultant $4,000 - ($240 + $60 + $932.02) = $2,767.98
  • computer programmer $3,300 - ($198 + $49.50 + $757.02) = $2,295.48
  • administrator $2,800 - ($168 + $42 + $596.02) = $1,993.98

Leni [432]

Answer:

$10 million

Explanation:

Calculation for the reported profit for the first year of the contract

Using this formula

Reported profit=(BB Costs/Project cost estimate)×(Building contract-Project cost estimate)

Let plug in the formula

Reported profit = ($30 million / $75 million)×($100 million – $75 million)

Reported profit=0.4 million ×25 million

Reported profit= $10 million

Therefore the reported profit for the first year of the contract will be $10 million
