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:
Where,
= New Forecast 
= Previous period's forecast.
= Smoothing Constant 
= Previous period's Actual Demand.
- Calculating the forecast for period 5:

Answer:
The journal entry at the time when great adventures obtains the $30,000 loan is:
Account Title Debit Credit
Cash 30,000
Notes Payable 30,000
The interest accrued at the end of each month would be:
30,000 * 6% = 1,800/12 = $ 150
Interest entry would be made at the end of each month to record the interest expense.
Answer:
c. Ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses weighted average than if FIFO were used
Explanation:
To check which answer is correct, we simply evaluate each option step by step.
<u>Option A</u>
Gross margin is the difference between selling price and cost.
Under FIFO gross margin is $14. (32 -18 =14)
Under LIFO gross margin is $13. (32-19 = 13)
Thus statement is incorrect as gross margin is higher if FIFO is used.
<u />
<u>Option B</u>
If FIFO is used, the dollar amount of ending inventory will be $19 as ending inventory will contain product purchased later that is at $19. In contrast, if LIFO is used, the dollar amount of ending inventory will be $18. Thus the statement becomes incorrect that it will be the same.
<u />
<u>Option C</u>
The ending inventory under FIFO is $19.
The ending inventory under LIFO is $18
The endng inventory under AVCO or weighted average will be, 18+19 / 2 = 18.5
Thus the statement is correct as the ending inventory under weighted average $18.5 is lower than ending inventory under FIFO $19. So, C is the correct Answer.
Answer:
B) induces buyers to consume less, and sellers to produce less.
Explanation:
Taxes are a necessary evil since they always increase the price of the goods and services that consumers buy and decrease the amount of money that producers receive from selling their goods and services. But taxes are necessary and unavoidable.
But once a market assumes all the effects of existing taxes it reaches an equilibrium price that both consumers and producers are satisfied with. If a new tax is levied than the deadweight losses are greater since consumer surplus and producer surplus are both reduced. This will lead to a reduction in the incentive that both consumers and producers have to engage in transactions. Many times consumers will substitute heavily taxed goods for other goods since they feel they are getting more from consuming those goods (consumer surplus). The same happens to producers, many producers will change their heavily taxed goods for other goods.
If the price elasticity of demand or supply of a certain good is large (elastic demand and supply), the deadweight loss will be greater.
Answer:
1.4
Explanation:
Given that
Q1 = 200
P1 = $200
Q2 = 300
P2 = $ 150
Recall that
Midpoint formula = Q2 - Q1/(Q2 + Q1)/2 ÷ P2 - P1/(P2 + P1)/2
= 300 - 200/(300 + 200)/2 ÷ 150 - 200/(150 + 200)/2
= 100/250 ÷ -50/175
= 0.4 ÷ 0.285
= 1.4
