Answer: the greater the dampening, or smoothing effect
Explanation:
The smoothing constant determines the level at which a forecast is influenced by previous observations. It simply determine the sensitivity of forecasts with regards to the changes in demand.
It should be noted that large values of α will lead to a scenario whereby forecasts will be more responsive to the more recent levels. On the other hand, the smaller values will result in a damping effect. Therefore, the closer the smoothing constant to α, the greater the dampening, or smoothing effect.
Answer:
$5,225,417
Explanation:
first payment 800000
1 quarter 250000
2 quarters 254000
3 quarters 258064
4 quarters 262193
5 quarters 266388
6 quarters 270650
7 quarters 274981
8 quarters 279380
9 quarters 283851
10 quarters 288392
11 quarters 293006
12 quarters 297694
13 quarters 302458
14 quarters 307297
15 quarters 312214
16 quarters 317209
17 quarters 322284
18 quarters 327441
19 quarters 332680
20 quarters 338003
11% = (1 + i/4)⁴
i = 0.106
quarterly interest = 2.65%
Now we need to determine the present value of this annuity and our discount rate is 2.65%. I will use an excel spreadsheet to determine the present value of the 20 quarterly payments and then add the initial payment.
$4,425,417 + $800,000 = $5,225,417
<span>If the government has decided that tossed orange peels impose a negative on the public that must be rectified by imposing a $4 per bag, then the new equilibrium price is,
p* = $9 ( when the quantity of bag is 1)
In that time the new equilibrium quantity is, q* = 5 bag(s).
If the new equilibrium quantity (5) is the optimal quantity, before some bags were oranges being overproduced that is,
q* = 1 bag(s)</span>
