Using the data set below, what would be the forecast for period 5 using the exponential smoothing method? Assume the forecast fo

elena55 [62]

Answer:

The answer is C: 14300

Note: The actual answer is 14296, <em>and </em>the closest to that was option C.

Explanation:

Formula to calculate forecast using Exponential smoothing:

$F_{t} = F_{t-1} + \alpha ( A_{t-1} - F_{t-1} )$

Where,

$F_{t}$ = New Forecast
$F_{t-1}$ = Previous period's forecast.
$\alpha$ = Smoothing Constant
$A_{t-1}$ = Previous period's Actual Demand.

Calculating the forecast for period 5:

Data:

$F_{5} = ?$
$F_{t-1} = 14000$
$\alpha = 0.4$
$A_{t-1} = 14750$

Putting <em>values in the formula:</em>

$F_{5} =$ $14000 + 0.4(14750-14000)$

$F_{5} = 14000 + 0.4 (740)$

$F_{5} = 14000 + 296$

$F_{5} = 14296$

Finerly Corporation sells cosmetics through a network of independent distributors. Finerly shipped cosmetics to its distributors

hjlf

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

Finerly should recognize $0 of revenue upon delivery to distributors. Because of the uncertainty of the returns due to the fact that Finerly does not know if it will have to accept the cosmetics back from the distributors if the cosmetics are not sold, Finerly cannot or should not recognize revenue until it either can estimate in a better way its returns or when the sales actually occur.

At Hodgson Corporation, direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversions costs are uniformly applied.

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

$2.25 per unit

Explanation:

The computation of the cost per equivalent is shown below:

= Total conversion cost ÷ total units completed

where,

Total conversion cost is

= Beginning work in process conversion cost + cost of conversion added

= $20,250 + 271,125

= 291,375

And, the number of units is

= Units completed + work in process ending inventory units × completion percentage

= 115,700 units + 23,000 units × 60%

= 115,700 + 13,800

= 129,500 units

So, the cost per equivalent unit for conversion cost is

= $291,375 ÷ 129,500 units

= $2.25 per unit

Discount Airlines is preparing a contribution margin report segmented by route. The following information is available: Atlanta/

IgorC [24]

Answer:

17.3%

Explanation:

The contribution margin ratio is shown below:

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales × 100

where,

Contribution margin is

= Sales - variable cost

Sales arise from passengers ($1,250 × 7,100) $8,875,000

Less:

Food ($7 × 7,100) $497,00

Selling ($90 × 7,100) $639,000

Fuel ($15 × 190,000) $2,850,000

Wages ($20 × 190,000) $3,800,000

Total variable cost ($7,338,700)

Contribution margin $1,536,300

So, the contribution margin ratio is

= $1,536,300 ÷ $8,875,000

= 17.3%
