Explanation:

To obtain the mean absolute deviation(MAD) :

Subtract the forecasted values from the actual values and find its absolute equivalent.

Error (E) = (Actual - forecast)

e1 - - - |e1| - - - - e2 - - - |e2| - APE1 - - APE2

6 - - - - 6 - - - - - 8 - - - - 8 - - 0.772 - - - 1.030

4 - - - - 4 - - - - - 2 - - - - 2 - - 0.507 - - 0.253

4 - - - - 4 - - - - - 2 - - - - 2 - - 0.504 - - 0.252

(-4) - - - 4 - - - - - (-18) - - 18 - 0.513 - - 2.308

(-2) - - - 2 - - - - (-6) - - - 6 - - 0.260 - - 0.781

11 - - - - 11 - - - - 9 - - - - 9 - - 1.412 - - - 1.155

(-1) - - - 1 - - - - - 1 - - - - 1 - - - 0.132 - - 0.132

14 - - - 14 - - - - 10 - - - 10 - - 1.783 - - 1.274

2 - - - - 2 - - - - (-2) - - 2 - - - 0.254 - - 0.254

3 - - - - 3 - - - - - 3 - - - 3 - - 0.379 - - - 0.379

MAD for forecast 1:

(Sum of |e1|) / number of observation

(6 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 11 + 1 + 14 + 2 + 3) / 10

= 51 / 10

= 5.1

MAD for forecast 2:

(Sum of |e2|) / number of observation

(8 + 2 + 2 + 18 + 6 + 9 + 1 + 10 + 2 + 3) / 10

61 / 10

= 6.1

MAPE = (Sum of absolute percentage error) / number of observations

Forecast 1:

(0.772 + 0.507 + 0.504 + 0.513 + 0.260 + 1.412 + 0.132 + 1.783 + 0.254 + 0.379)% / 10

= 6.516% / 10 = 0.6516%

MAPE Forecast 2:

(1.030 + 0.253 + 0.252 + 2.308 + 0.781 + 1.155 + 0.132 + 1.274 + 0.254 + 0.379)% / 10

= 7.818% / 10

= 0.7818%

andrezito [222]

Profit Inc., a manufacturing firm, has purchased raw materials worth $10,000 on credit from its vendors. The business plans to settle the vendor’s full payment after two months. Under "current liabilities"section of balance sheet this account will be recorded as "account payable".

Answer: Option (B) is correct

Explanation:

Raw material purchased on credit from a vendor is a liability and it is shown under current liabilities in "accounts payable". Since raw material purchased on credit and payment is to be made after two months.

Payment due gives rise to liability. Now current liability is a company's short term obligations that are to be paid back within a year. Here the firm will have to make payment within two months to the vendor.

Abe owns a dog; the dog's barking annoys Abe's neighbor, Jenny. Suppose that the benefit of owning the dog is worth $200 to Abe

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Jenny pays Abe $300 to give the dog to his parents who live on an isolated farm

Explanation:

The answer is already stated within the question, but I'll provide the explanation.

In order to reach a solution, Jenny would have to offer Abe an amount to get rid of the dog that is more than Abe's benefit of owning the dog, which is $200.

On the other hand, since Jenny bears a cost of $400 from the bark, she would only be willing to spend as much as $400 to resolve the situation. Therefore, the acceptable range for the amount of the agreement for both parts is:

$200 < X < $400.

Since $300 is within that range. Jenny paying Abe $300 to give the dog to his parents is a possible solution.
