1 answer:

8 0

When talking about diversification in a stock portfolio, we're referring to the attempt by the investor to reduce exposure to risk by investing in various companies across different sectors, industries or even countries. Tracking a mutual fund is difficult and evaluating is nearly impossible. Plus, the risk isn't really reduced when you own a lot f mutual funds due to diversification. The more mutual funds you hold, the more costly it is because of the annual fees.

Given the following historical demand, what is the weighted moving average forecast (0.4, 0.3, 0.3) for Week 6?

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The correct option is B. 9200.

Explanation:

This can simply be answered as follows:

$F_{6} =(D_{5}*W_{5})+(D_{4}*W_{4})+(D_{3}*W_{3})$ .................. (1)

Where:

$F_{6}$ = Weighted moving average forecast (0.4, 0.3, 0.3) for Week 6 = ?

$D_{5}$ = Week 5 demand = 11,000

$D_{4}$ = Week 4 demand = 9,000

$D_{3}$ = Week 3 demand = 7,000

The (0.4, 0.3, 0.3) implies that:

$W_{5}$ = Weight of Week 5 demand = 0.4

$W_{4}$ = Weight of Week 4 demand = 0.3

$W_{3}$ = Weight of Week 3 demand = 0.3

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

$F_{6}$ = (11,000 * 0.40) + (9,000 * 0.30) + (7,000 * 0.30) = 9,200

Therefore, the correct option is B. 9200.

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Suppose a firm's CFO thinks that an externality is present in a project, but that it cannot be quantified with any precision ¾ estimates of its effect would really just be guesses. In this case, the externality should be ignored ¾ i.e., not considered at all ¾ because if it were considered it would make the analysis appear more precise than it really is. This is a false statement.
