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.

Assume Chester Corp. is downsizing the size of their workforce by 20% (to the nearest person) next year from various strategic i
Tasya [4]

Answer:

$311,100

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that:

Assume Chester corp downsized the size of their workforce by = %

The exit interviews cost estimated = 100

Additional normal costs of separation = $5000

Now,

The Total Employee = 305

The Down Sizing = 20%

Thus,

The Total Employee = 305 x 20% = 61 employees

so,

The Separation cost per employees = $5000

The Exit interview cost = $100

Total cost = $5,100

Now,

The total overall cost of separation = 61 employees x total cost of separation per employees

Which is,

= 61 x 5100  = = $311,100

Giving the following information:

Kant Miss Company is promising its investors that it will double their money every 3 years.

A) According to the rule of 70, an investment will duplicate in X number of years using the following formula:

N= 70/ interest rate

In this exercise:

3=70/i

i=70/3= 23.33%

B) If this is a good deal or not will depend on the interest rate and risk that you are willing to accept.

C) To find how many years it will take to reach to $26000 we need to use the following formula:

n=[ln(FV/PV)]/ln(1+r)

ln= natural logarithm

FV= Final value

PV= present value

r= interest rate

n=[ln(26000/300)]/ln(1+0,23333)

n= 21,55 years.

A pension plan is obligated to make disbursements of $1.8 million, $2.8 million, and $1.8 million at the end of each of the next
amid [387]

Answer:

1.9516 years.

Explanation:

So, the best and fastest way to solve this question is to use excel. So the first step is to calculate the Present Value of Cash Flow for the three cash flows and sum them up.

(A).

(1). For cash flow = $1,800,000, time = 1.

Present Value of Cash Flow:

$1,800,000 / (1 + 9%)^1

= 1651376.14678899082.

(2). For cash flow = $2,800,000, time = 2.

= $2,800,00/ (1 + 9%)^2.

= 2356703.98114636815.

(3). For cash flow = $2,800,000, time = 3.

= $1,800,000 / (1 + 9%)^3.

= 1389930.26410991568.

Thus, 1651376.14678899082 + 2356703.98114636815 + 1389930.26410991568.

= 5398010.39204527465.

(B). Also, 1651376.14678899082 ×( time = 1) = 1651376.14678899082.

2356703.98114636815 × (time= 2 ) = 4,713,407.9622927363.

1389930.26410991568 × (time = 3) = 4169790.79232974704.

Thus, 4169790.79232974704 + 1651376.14678899082 + 4,713,407.9622927363.

= 10534574.90141147416.

Hence, duration = 10534574.90141147416/ 5398010.39204527465.

= 1.95156625058292731

Approximately 1.9516 years.
