23)
For 2015,
Output = 300000
Total Input = 40000+45000+10000+250000+2000 = 347000
Productivity = Output/Input = 300000/347000 = 0.86455
For 2016,
Output = 330000
Total Input = 43000+51000+9000+262000+6000 = 371000
Productivity = 330000/371000 = 0.88949
Change in Productivity = (0.88949 - 0.86455)/0.86455 = 0.0288 = 2.88%
Correct Option is D
24.
Forecast for 2017 = Forecast for 2016 + smoothing constant(Actual of 2016 - Forecast for 2016)
Forecast for 2017 = 110 + 0.2(120-110) = 110 + 2 = 112
Correct Option is D
26
Correct option is A
27
Capacity Cushion = Actual Output/Best operational capacity = 300/400 = 0.75
Correct Option is C.

1. Exercise 5.1 The forecasting staff for the Prizer Corporation has developed a model to predict sales of its air-cushioned-ride snowmobiles. The model specifies that sales, S, vary jointly with disposable personal income, Y, and the population between ages 15 and 40,Z, and inversely with the price of the snowmobiles, P. Based on past data, the best estimate of this relationship is: where k has been estimated (from past data) to equal 100 If Y $13,000, Z- $1,200, and P...
