aliina [53]

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.

The process of raising money or capital for any form of spending is referred to as finance. It involves directing different sources of funding, such as credit, loans, and investment money, to the businesses that can use them most effectively. The definition of finances according to Finance Box is "The money that people, businesses, or national economies earn and spend." Risk is the potential for bad things to happen, to put it simply. Risk refers to uncertainty on how a certain action will affect or have implications for a human value (such as one's health, well-being, wealth, property, or the environment), frequently focused on unfavourable outcomes.

The Great Fish Taco Corporation currently has fixed operating costs of $15,000​, sells its​ pre-made tacos for $6.00 per​ box, a
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: The Break-Even Point will reduce from $4,285.71 to $4,125

Explanation:

To get the Break-Even Point we can divide Fixed Assets by the Contribution margin.

The Contribution Margin is the Selling Price minus the Variable Cost.

For Scenario 1 the Break-Even Point will be,

= 15,000 / ( 6 - 2.50)

= $4,285.71

For Scenario 2 the Break-Even Point is,

= 16,500 / 6.5 -2.5

= $4,125

The Break-Even Point for Scenario 2 means that even though the higher Fixed Costs could have led to a higher Break-Even Point, the higher price contributed more than the fixed costs did and led to an ultimately lower Break-Even Point than the first Scenario.
