Answer:

58.9

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what would the forecast for the next period be using exponential smoothing

Next period forecast= [ (1 - Alpha) × Current forecast]+Alpha*Actual demand

Let plug in the formula

Next period forecast= [ ( 1 - 0.3 ) × 58] +0.3*61

Next period forecast=40.6+18.3

Next period forecast=58.9

Therefore what would the forecast for the next period be using exponential smoothing is 58.9

​Tom's Taxidermy has a monthly target operating income of $29,000. Variable expenses are 65​% of sales and monthly fixed expense
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Leverage factor will be 1.344

Explanation:

We have given operating income = $29000

And variable expenses is 65 5 of the sales

And fixed expenses = $10000

So contribution margin = $29000+$10000 = $39000

We have to find the leverage factor

Leverage factor is given by

Leverage factor =\frac{contribution\ margin}{operating\ income }=\frac{39000}{29000}=1.344

So leverage factor will be 1.344

A) Management can evaluate the differences between standard costs and actual costs to focus on correcting the cost variances.

Standard costs provide a control technique for evaluating the Sole Purpose Shoe Company's performance at three levels: a standard performance level, a measure of actual performance, and a measure of the difference (variance) between standard and actual costs.  Sarah will use the variance resulting from the comparison of standard costs with actual costs to measure the non-financial performance of the entity.

Find three celebrities of your choice. Type a paragraph for each celebrity explaining their net worth. Include their background
Sidana [21]

Answer: SEE EXPLANATION!

Explanation:

Since the time when Billie Eilish first came into the music scene a few years ago, fans have not been able to get enough inner music. At just 18 years old, Eilish has already accomplished more in her career than other artists do in a lifetime. Her music and style is uniquely different, but that is what makes her so great. Many people in this world feel like they are different or “weird.” But when they see this young girl who is famous for dancing to the beat of her own drum, they realize that being different is not a bad thing.

Swift showed an interest in music at an early age, and she progressed quickly from roles in children’s theatre to her first appearance before a crowd of thousands. She was age 11 when she sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” before a Philadelphia 76ers basketball game, and the following year she picked up the guitar and began to write songs. Taking her inspiration from country music artists such as Shania Twain and the Dixie Chicks, Swift crafted original material that reflected her experiences of tween alienation. When she was 13, Swift’s parents sold their farm in Pennsylvania to move to Hendersonville, Tennessee, so that she could devote more of her time to courting country labels in nearby Nashville. A development deal with RCA Records allowed Swift to make the acquaintance of recording-industry veterans, and in 2004, at age 14, she signed with Sony/ATV as a songwriter. At venues in the Nashville area, she performed many of the songs she had written, and it was at one such performance that she was noticed by record executive Scott Borchetta. Borchetta signed Swift to his fledgling Big Machine label, and her first single, “Tim McGraw” (inspired by and prominently referencing a song by Swift’s favourite country artist), was released in the summer of 2006.

In February 2003, Shelton released The Dreamer, and its first single, "The Baby," reached No. 1 on the country music charts, hanging on for three weeks. The second and third singles from the album, "Heavy Liftin'" and "Playboys of the Southwestern World," each cracked the top 50, and The Dreamer went gold. In 2004 Blake Shelton began releasing a string of hit albums, beginning with Blake Shelton’s Barn & Grill. The second single from the album, "Some Beach," became his third No. 1 hit, and the singles "Goodbye Time" and "Nobody but Me" reached top 10, sending the album to gold status. Along with the album, Shelton released an accompanying video collection, Blake Shelton's Barn & Grill: A Video Collection. Pure BS was released in early 2007, and its first two singles, "Don't Make Me" and "The More I Drink," were both top 20 hits on the country charts. That same year, Shelton made his reality TV debut, appearing first as a judge on Nashville Star and then on Clash of the Choirs
