Answer:

B) False

Explanation:

Since the price elasticity of demand is -1.3, it is considered elastic. That means that a 10% decrease in the price will result in a 13% increase in total quantity sold.

E.g. original price = $100, quantity demanded = 100 trees, total revenue = $10,000

price decreases by 10% to $90, but the quantity demanded increased by 13% to 113 trees, total revenue = $10,170

aliina [53]

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.

ycow [4]

Answer:

Purchases= $330,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales:

August $540,000

September $580,000

Abet's cost of goods sold is 60% of sales dollars.

Abet wants a merchandise inventory balance equal to 25% of the following month's expected cost of goods sold.

<u>To calculate the purchases for August, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Purchases= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchases= (540,000*0.6) + (580,000*0.6)*0.25 - (540,000*0.6)*0.25

Purchases= 324,000 + 87,000 - 81,000

Purchases= $330,000
