Actual demand for a product for the past three months was
Three months ago 390 units
Two months ago 340 units
Last month 295 units
a. Using a simple three-month moving average, make a forecast for this month. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
b. If 290 units were actually demanded this month, what would your forecast be for next month, again using a 3-month moving average? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
c. Using simple exponential smoothing, what would your forecast be for this month if the exponentially smoothed forecast for three months ago was 440 units and the smoothing constant was 0.20? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Answer:
a) This month = 342
b) Next month = 308
c) This month using simple exponential smoothing = 352.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Month Demand 3-month Moving
Average
3 months ago 390
2 months ago 340
1 month ago 295
This month 342
b)
Month Demand 3-month Moving
Average
3 months ago 390
2 months ago 340
1 month ago 295
This month 290
Next month 308
c) Simple exponential smoothing
Forecast for three months ago = 440
Smoothing constant = 0.20
Forecast for this month = 440 * (1- 0.20) = 352
d) For the simple exponential smoothing, the most recent period's forecast is multiplied by (one minus the smoothing factor).

On January 1, 2021, American Corporation purchased 30% of the outstanding voting shares of Short Supplies common stock for $222,000 cash. On that date, Short's book value and fair value were both $740,000. The equity method is deemed appropriate for this investment. Short's net income reported on December 31, 2021, was $70,000. During 2021, Short also paid cash dividends in the amount of $19,000.
Required:
Compute the amount that would be reported for the investment on American Corporation's financial statements at December 31, 2021. what is investment amount?
Answer:
the amount that should be reported for the investment is $237,300
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that should be reported for the investment is as follows:
= Original investment + net income share - cash dividend
= $222,000 + ($70,000 × 30%) - ($19,000 × 0.30)
= $222,000 + $21,000 - $5,700
= $237,300
hence, the amount that should be reported for the investment is $237,300

Insurance company A and B both are life insurance companies that pay claims to a designated beneficiary upon death of an insured life. Company A insures 10,000 lives and expects to receive 525 claims this year. Company B insures 8,700 lives and expects to receive 410 claims this year. The actual number of claims for company A will range 500 < 550. The actual number of claims for company B will range from 369 < 451. Who faces the most objective risk
Answer:
Company B will faces the most objective risk
Explanation:
Company A: As Company A, insures 10,000 lives and expects to receive 525 claims this year.
They will end up saving 947,500,000 and paying 52,500,000 (525 claims*100,000), considering each claim value to be 100,000. Here goes the calculation:
10,000 x 100,000 = 1,000,000,000
1,000,000,000 - 52,500,000 = 947,500,000.
Company B: As Company B, insures 8,700 lives and expects 410 claims this year.
They will end up saving 829,000,000 and paying 41,000,000 (410 claims x 100,000), considering each claim value to be 100,000. Here goes the calculation:
8700 x 100,000 = 870,000,000
870,000,000 - 41,000,000 = 829,000,000.
Hence, the margin of profit is good for company A. Company B will have the face the risk more.

Logan, a 50% shareholder in Military Gear Incorporated (MG), is comparing the tax consequences of losses from C corporations with losses from S corporations. Assume MG has a $100,000 tax loss for the year, Logan's tax basis in his MG stock was $150,000 at the beginning of the year, and he received $75,000 ordinary income from other sources during the year. Assuming Logan's marginal tax rate is 24 percent, how much more tax will Logan pay currently if MG is a C corporation compared to the tax he would pay if it were an S corporation?
Answer:
$12,000
Explanation:
Calculation for how much more tax will Logan pay currently if MG is a C corporation compared to the tax he would pay if it were an S corporation
First step is to calculate the amount he will pay for the taxes if Military Gear Inc. is a C corporation
Tax amount=($75,000 × 24%)
Tax amount=$18,000
Second step is to calculate the amount he will pay for the taxes if Military Gear Inc. is a S corporation
Tax amount=($75,000 -$50,000)*24%
Tax amount=$25,000*24%
Tax amount=$6,000
Now let calculate how much more tax will Logan pay currently
Tax amount=$18,000-$6,000
Tax amount=$12,000
Therefore how much more tax will Logan pay currently if MG is a C corporation compared to the tax he would pay if it were an S corporation will be $12,000
Brendan buys a used car in April 2020 from his neighbor for $20,000. After one month, he loses his job and decides to sell the car to get some cash. He sells the car for $22,000 to a car dealer. The dealer fixes a few things here and there and sells the car for $27,000 in July 2020. Because of these transactions, the 2020 nominal GDP increases by ______ dollars.
Answer:
the increase in nominal GDP is $29,000
Explanation:
The computation of increase in nominal GDP is as follows:
= Selling value of car + difference
= $22,000 + ($27,000 - $20,000)
= $22,000 + $7,000
= $29,000
hence, the increase in nominal GDP is $29,000
We simply added the selling value and the difference
Kingbird, Inc. reported net sales of $267,000, cost of goods sold of $160,200, operating expenses of $48,900, net income of $42,720, beginning total assets of $532,300, and ending total assets of $618,100. Calculate profit margin and gross profit rate. (Round answers to 1 decimal place, e.g. 10.2%.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Profit margin = Net income ÷ Net sales
= $42,720 ÷ $267,000
= 16%
Now the gross profit rate is
But before that the gross profit is
Gross profit = Net sales - Cost of goods sold
= $267,000 - $160,200
= $106,800
Now Gross profit rate is
= Gross profit ÷ Net sales
= $106,800 ÷ $267,000
= 40%

In each of the following cases, determine how supply or demand shifts and how the equilibrium changes.
Select the correct answer in each blank space (_______)
a. Smartphones: Microchips used in smartphones become less costly to produce. As a result, the __________________( *Supply of and demand for, *Supply of, or *Demand for) smartphones increase(s), causing the equilibrium price to (*Rise, *Fall, or *Rise, fall or remain unchanged) and the equilibrium quantity to (*Rise, fall or remain unchanged, *Rise, *Fall)
b. ALS medical research funds: The ALS ice bucket challenge goes viral, leading to greater awareness of the benefits of and need for ALS research. As a result, the _____________ ( *Supply of and demand for, *Supply of, or *Demand for) ALS research increase(s), causing the equilibrium price (or opportunity cost) of such research to __________ (*Rise, fall or remain unchanged, *Rise, *Fall) and the equilibrium quantity to __________ (*Rise, fall or remain unchanged, *Rise, *Fall)
Answer:
Supply of
fall
rise
b. demand for
rise
rise
Explanation:
A microchip is a complement in the production of smartphones
Complement goods are goods used together.
If the price of microchips reduces, the cost of making smartphones falls and as a result, the supply of smart phones increases. This would lead to a rightward shift of the supply curve. This leads to a decrease in equilibrium price and an increase in equilibrium quantity
Due to the awareness, the demand for ALS research would increase, this would lead to a rise in price and quantity demanded.

Patterson Corporation expects to incur $70,000 of factory overhead and $60,000 of general and administrative costs next year. Direct labor costs at $5 per hour are expected to total $50,000. If factory overhead is to be applied per direct labor hour, how much overhead will be applied to a job incurring 20 hours of direct labor
Answer:
$140
Explanation:
With regards to the above, since the factory overhead is to be applied per direct labor hour
= [$70,000 ÷ ($50,000 ÷ $5) 20 hours]
= $70,000 ÷ 10,000 × 20 hours
= $7 × 20 hours
= $140
Therefore, $120 will be applied to job incurring 20 hours of direct labor
