Actually I got mixed up, the answer i meant to write was B.
Answer:
A. Forecast for July = 42.
B. Forecast for August = 42.45
C. Because of seasonality in the banking industry.
Explanation:
A. Forecast for July = Forecast for June + Smoothing constant x (Forecasting error)
= 42 + 0.15 (42-42) = 42
B. Forecast for August = Forecast for July + 0.15 (Forecasting error)
= 42 + 0.15 (45-42) = 42.45
C. Because there is a great deal of seasonality in the processing requirements of banking industry, this forecasting method (exponential smoothing) might not be appropriate for this situation.

D.) An account earning interest compounded daily.
This is the account that would have the greatest accumulated value at the end of one year.
Let us assume the following figures.
Principal = 1,000
Interest rate = 12% p.a.
Term 1 year
a) account earning no interest = 1,000
b) account earning simple interest
S.I. = 1,000 x 12% x 1 = 120
Balance = 1000 + 120= 1,120
c) account earning interest compounded annually
FV = 1,000 (1+.12)¹
FV = 1,000 (1.12)
FV = 1,120
d) account compounded daily
FV = 1,000 (1 + .12/365)³⁶⁵
FV = 1,000 (1 + 0.00033)³⁶⁵
FV = 1,000 (1.00033)³⁶⁵
FV = 1,000 (1.128)
FV = 1,128
Answer:
Efficiency variance =$9,860
unfavorable
Explanation:
Labour efficiency variance is the difference between the actual time taken to achieve a given production output less the standard hours allowed for same multiplied by the standard labour rate
Hours
11,900 units should have take (11,900× 4hrs) 47,600
but did take <u>48,180</u>
Difference 580 unfavorable
Standard hours <u> × $17 </u>
Efficiency variance <u>$9,860
unfavorable</u>
