Suppose that Bob's company uses exponential smoothing to make forecasts. Further suppose that last period's demand forecast was for 20,000 units (Ft) and last period's actual demand was 21,000 units (At). Bob's company uses a smoothing constant (alpha) of 0.4. What should be the forecast for this period
Answer:
20,400 units
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What should be the forecast for this period
Using this formula
F t+1=α*D t+(1-α)
Where,
F t+1=Forecast for this period
α=Smoothing constant (alpha)
D t=Last period's actual demand
(1-α)=(1-Last period's demand forecast)
Let plug in the formula
F t+1=(0.4*21,000 units)+(1-0.4*20,000 units)
F t+1=(0.4*21,000 units)+ (0.60*20,000 units)
F t+1=8,400 units+12,000 units
F t+1=20,400 units
Therefore What should be the forecast for this period is 20,400 units

Jagadison Co. leases computer equipment to customers under sales-type leases. The equipment has no residual value at the end of the lease and the leases do not contain purchase options. Jagadison desires a return of 11% interest on a four-year lease of equipment with a fair value of $795,564. The present value of an annuity due of $1 at 11% for four years is 3.444. What is the total amount of interest revenue that Jagadison will earn over the life of the lease?
a. 128436
b. 198891
c. 231000
d. 350048
Answer: a. $128,436
Explanation:
The lease payment will be constant and so can be considered to be an annuity.
The fair value of the lease is the present value of the annuity and because this is a lease and payments are made as soon as the asset is received, this is an annuity due.
Present value of annuity due = Annuity * Present value of annuity due interest factor, 11%, 4 years
795,564 = Annuity * 3.444
Annuity = 795,564 / 3.444
= $231,000
Interest revenue is:
= Total amount paid - Fair value
= (231,000 * 4 years) - 795,564
= $128,436

The following monthly data are available for Waterway Industries. which produces only one product: Selling price per unit, $54; Unit variable expenses, $14; Total fixed expenses, $42000; Actual sales for the month of June, 2000 units. How much is the margin of safety for the company for June
Answer:
Margin of safety= 950 units
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 42,000 / (54 - 14)
Break-even point in units= 1,050
Now, the margin of safety in units:
Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety= 2,000 - 1,050
Margin of safety= 950 units
Consider the following account starting balances and transactions involving these accounts. Use T-accounts to record the starting balances and the offsetting entries for the transactions. The starting balance of Cash is $9,100 The starting balance of Inventory is $4,800 The starting balance of Retained Earnings is $24,700 1. Sell product for $30 in cash with historical cost of $24 2. Sell, deliver, and receive payment of $40 for service 3. Consume good or service and pay expense of $2 What is the final amount in Retained Earnings
Answer: $24,744
Explanation:
Final amount in retained earnings;
= Starting balance + Net income
Net income:
= Sales - Cost of good sold + Service revenue - Expense
= 30 - 24 + 40 - 2
= $44
Final amount in retained earnings:
= 24,700 + 44
= $24,744

Answer: $13293.59
Explanation:
The following information can be deduced from the question:
Number of periods (n) = 12
Interest rate(i) = 18%/12 = 1.5%
Purchase price = $145000
PVA = [1 -(1.015)^-12] / 0.015 = 10.90751

b. Light penalties for violators
c. Auditors must evaluate internal controls
d. Auditor's work overseen by Public Accounting Board
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: An effective internal control.
Explanation:
To begin with, the name of "Sarbanes-Oxley Act" refers to the well known United States federal law whose main purpose is to set new requirements, or at least expand them, regarding the boards and management areas of public companies of the US.

During its first year of operations, the McCormick Company incurred the following manufacturing costs: Direct materials, $6 per unit, Direct labor, $4 per unit, Variable overhead, $5 per unit, and Fixed overhead, $240,000. The company produced 30,000 units, and sold 20,000 units, leaving 10,000 units in inventory at year-end. Income calculated under variable costing is determined to be $370,000. How much income is reported under absorption costing?
a. $370,000
b. $290,000
c. $610,000
d. $450,000
Answer: d. $450,000
Explanation:
In absorption costing, the fixed costs are absorbed by the products so that the cost of goods sold is inclusive of fixed costs.
First find the fixed overhead for the ending inventory:
= Fixed overhead per unit * Number of units in ending inventory
= 240,000 / 30,000 * 10,000
= $80,000
This is the fixed overhead that is deferred to the next year.
Income under absorption costing = Income under variable costing + Fixed overhead deferred:
= 370,000 + 80,000
= $450,000
