The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Bradley's Copiers sells and repairs photocopy machines. The manager needs weekly forecasts of service calls so that he can schedule service personnel. Use the actual demand in the first period for the forecast for the first week so error measurement begins in the second week. The manager uses exponential smoothing with α = 0.1 . Forecast the number of calls for week 6, which is next week. Week Actual Service Calls 1 2 3 4 5 The forecast for week 6 is ___ service calls. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Solution :
It is given that :
The manager of Bradley's Copiers needs weekly forecast of the service calls so that the manager can schedule service personnel.
Using the 
for the 1st 
for the 1st week so as the error measurement begins in the second week.
The exponential soothing, α = 0.1
Week Actual service calls Forecast
1 28 28
2 34 (28 + 0.1 x (28-28)) = 28
3. 38 (28 + 0.1 x (34-28)) = 28.60
4. 27 (28.60 + 0.1 x (38-28.60)) = 29.54
5. 25 (29.54 + 0.1 x (27-29.54)) = 29.29
6 (29.29 + 0.1 x (25-29.29)) = 28.86
Therefore, the forecast for the week 6 = 28.86
Answer:
Accumulated Depreciation at the end of year = $16,000
Explanation:
<em>Under the straight line method of depreciation, the cost of an asset less the salvage value is spread equally over the expected useful life.</em>
<em>An equal amount is charged as annual depreciation over the life of the asset. The annual depreciation is calculated as follows:</em>
Annual depreciation:
= (cost of assets - salvage value)/ Estimated useful life
Cost - 100,000
Residual value = 20,000
Estimated useful life = 10 years
Annual depreciation = (100,000- 20,000)/10 =8,000
Annual depreciation = 8,000
Accumulated Depreciation for 2 years = Annual depreciation× number of years
= 8,000× 2 = 16,000
Accumulated Depreciation for 2 years = $16,000
Answer:
<u>13.2%</u>
Explanation:
As per Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM),
Expected Rate Of Return = 
wherein, 
= Risk free rate of return on treasury bonds
B= Beta , which represents the degree of sensitivity of security return to the market return.
= Return on market portfolio
Thus, Expected rate of return of security X = 6 + 1.2(12 - 6)
= 13.2%
CAPM model is used for calculating expected rate of return. As per the model, the investors expect a risk premium represented by excess of rate of return of market portfolio over risk free rate , in addition for the risk free rate of return.
The risk premium serves as a compensation for investing in risky securities instead of risk free securities.

answer is given below
Explanation:
Equilibria with high tax rate.
-
In the high balance tax system, taxes are already high. Make government spending and revenue sources mandatory. and Tax rates decrease.
- The income effect leads to an increase in both consumption and leisure, but when the alternative effect is taken into account, higher costs lead to greater employment and greater consumption but leave the party on leave.
- Tax base witnesses grow. Output increases but relaxation decreases.
Equilibria with low tax rate:
-
An increase in government spending leads to an increase in tax rates to increase income sources.
- The increase in taxes leads to a decline in consumption and production.
- Therefore, the amount of time spent at rest will increase.
Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Amount of which adjusting entry required:
= Amount of uncollectible accounts - Balance in Allowance for uncollectible accounts
= (Balance in accounts receivable × Estimated percentage of accounts receivable to be uncollectible) - Balance in Allowance for uncollectible accounts
= ($200,000 × 4%) - $2,000
= $8,000 - $2,000
= $6,000
Therefore, the adjusting entry is as follows:
Bad debt expense A/c Dr. $6,000
To Allowance for uncollectible accounts $6,000
(To record the bad debt expense)
