Answer:
a. 41.6 million
b. 42.28 million
Explanation:
The computations are shown below:
a. For the forecast for July month:
= Number of checks received in June × smoothing constant + (1 - smoothing constant) × forecast in June
= 40 million × 0.2 + (1 - 0.2) × 42 million
= 8 million + 33.6 million
= 41.6 million
b. For the forecast for August month:
= Number of checks received in July × smoothing constant + (1 - smoothing constant) × forecast in July
= 45 million × 0.2 + (1 - 0.2) × 41.6 million
= 9 million + 33.28 million
= 42.28 million

Answer:
The key economic idea being exemplified is c) People are rational
Explanation:
The economists’ assumption is that firms and consumers utilize all available information to attain their goals and weigh all costs and benefits of each action taken. Moreover, firms and consumers only choose an action if the benefits exceeds the costs. Therefore, the action of manufacturing firms to move their operations from overseas back to the US due to the increased preference for US manufactured goods exemplifies that consumers and firms rely on all available information when pursuing their goals.
Answer:
D) It is more economical for Baurisians to import meat than grain.
Explanation:
The argument states that meat consumption in Baurisia is steadily increasing while domestic production is not.
There are two alternatives:
- import more grains to feed more animals and produce more meat (the argument favors this option),
- or simply import more meat.
But if importing meat is cheaper than importing grains, then there is no need to import more grains in order to feed animals and later get meat from them, you just simply and directly import meat.
