"Some​ companies, such as​ Heinz, can forecast revenues well using pure time series analysis​ (that is, by extrapolation of prio

r​ data, accounting for seasonal​ effects). Other​ companies, such as FedEx​ (which makes money by shipping​ packages), or Sony​ (which sells consumer​ electronics) find that they cannot rely on pure time series analysis for reliable forecasting. They are strongly affected by recessions and need to use​ theory-based methods, including such explanatory variables as income in their forecasting models. Why are they different from​ Heinz?"

Answer:

Heinz sells ketchup and other sauces and condiments. Their demand is relatively stable and doesn't change that much year after year. The demand for their products is not that seriously affected by economic recessions or expansions.

On the other hand, Sony is a consumer electronics company and the demand for their products can vary drastically from one year to another. It depends on trends and innovations, and their total sales are affected by disposable income (expansions increase disposable income while recessions decrease it).

FedEx is also affected severely by economic recessions or expansions. Since FedEx ships and transports goods, when the economy is booming, FedEx is doing excellent. But if the economy starts to cool down or enters a recession, the amount of goods transported falls.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

B. Kim will win, because the bonus is a reward for work they have already performed, which is past consideration and cannot be used to create a contract.

Explanation:

In order for a contract to be enforceable, consideration must be exchanged between both parties. In this case, Kim made a promise that included consideration ($3,500) but Gold didn't exchange of give anything back. The swimming pool is already finished and it represents another different contract.

Another example would be a boss telling a subordinate that he/she will receive a bonus for having worked 10 years in the firm. The employee already got paid for working the 10 years, so there is no actual exchange of new consideration.

Find the monthly house payment necessary to amortize the following loan. In order to purchase a home, a family borrows $70,000 a
enot [183]

Answer:

Monthly payment is $840.12

Explanation:

we are given: $70000 which is the present value of the loan Pv

                       12% compounded monthly where the interest rate is adjusted to monthly where i = 12%/12

the period in which the loan will be repaid in 15years which contain 15x12 = 180 monthly payments which is n

we want to solve for C the monthly loan repayments on the formula for present value as we are looking for future periodic payments.

Pv = C[((1- (1+i)^-n)/i] thereafter we substitute the above mentioned values and soolve for C.

$70000= C[((1-(1+(12%/12))^-180))/(12%/12)] then compute the part that multiplies C in brackets and divide by it both sides.

$70000/83.32166399 = C  then you get the monthly loan repayments

C = $840.12 which is the monthly repayments of the $70000 loan.
