elena55 [62]

Answer:

The answer is C: 14300

Note: The actual answer is 14296, <em>and </em>the closest to that was option C.

Explanation:

Formula to calculate forecast using Exponential smoothing:

$F_{t} = F_{t-1} + \alpha ( A_{t-1} - F_{t-1} )$

Where,

$F_{t}$ = New Forecast
$F_{t-1}$ = Previous period's forecast.
$\alpha$ = Smoothing Constant
$A_{t-1}$ = Previous period's Actual Demand.

Calculating the forecast for period 5:

Data:

$F_{5} = ?$
$F_{t-1} = 14000$
$\alpha = 0.4$
$A_{t-1} = 14750$

Putting <em>values in the formula:</em>

$F_{5} =$ $14000 + 0.4(14750-14000)$

$F_{5} = 14000 + 0.4 (740)$

$F_{5} = 14000 + 296$

$F_{5} = 14296$

VikaD [51]

Answer:

B) Using a market multiple assumes that the target company is mispriced, while comparable companies are correctly priced.

Explanation:

Market Multiple, also known as trading multiples, is used to compare two financial measures, to determine the value of a company. It is another name for Price to Earnings Ratio (also called P/E Ratio).

Using the market multiple approach, investors can determine whether stocks in their portfolios will increase or decrease in price through the next term. Investors may then buy or sell stocks in order to maximize their expected gains calculated.
