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).

Record the preceding transactions using the integrated financial statement framework. After each transaction, enter a balance for each item. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank. Enter account decreases and net cash outflows as negative amounts using the minus sign.
Answer:
Net cash flow = $39,600
Net income = $18,050
Explanation:
Note: There is an error in the wages amount stated in the question. The correct amount of the wages is $21,600 not 521,600.
Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Note: See the attached excel file for the integrated financial statement which comprises of Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flow and the Income Statement.
An integrated financial statement framework can be described as a type of framework which presents the balance sheet, cash flow statement, and income statement of a company.
In the attached excel file the following are used:
Insurance premium paid under Retained Earnings = Insurance premium paid * (11 Months / 12 Months) = $5,400 * (11 / 12) = $4,950
Prepaid insurance = Insurance premium paid - Insurance premium paid under Retained Earnings = $5,400 - $4,950 = $450
Expenses paid = wages + rent + utilities + miscellaneous = $21,600 + $6,400 + $2,800 + $3,200 = $34,000
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.

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
